Published On: September 8, 2010 | Duration: 5 min, 31 sec
Four months after the Mangalore crash, it has now been established that 158 lives were lost due to pilot error. An analysis of audio on the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) shows that the Air India Express Boeing 737 was incorrectly aligned to the runway while attempting to land. The plane, the audio recording establishes, was too high to make a safe landing and the Ground Proximity Warning System sounded several times.
