The Swiss Transportation Safety Investigation
Board (STSB) published a Status Report on their
investigation into the 4 August 2018 crash of a Junkers Ju-52/3m that killed
20.
The Board
reports that much work has been undertaken to determine the flight path of the
aircraft leading up to the accident. The valley south-west the accident
location (Piz Segnas) was captured using a three-dimensional laser scan and a
3D model was created using another Ju-52. This allows images of the
accident aircraft taken from the ground during the flight to be positioned and
analysed with regard to the terrain. This model can also be used to evaluate
images from inside the aircraft to determine the flight path.
A total of over 40 mobile phones, digital cameras, memory cards and other components with possible data storage were secured and are being processed to help establish the aircraft’s flight path.

Additionally,
radar data of 218 flights of Ju-52 aeroplanes operated by Ju-Air, which took
place between April and August 2018, have been secured. These will be used to
reconstruct the flight paths and analyse them with regard to flying tactics.
The Board
expects the final report on this accident to be released in the first quarter
of 2020.
