The AirAsia jet in which 162 people lost their lives this week behaved in ways "bordering on the edge of logic" according to Indonesian aviation analyst Gerry Soejatman citing leaked information from the air crash investigation team.The Airbus 320-200 climbed in a way that was impossible to achieve by the pilot, adding that it subsequently "didn't fall out of the sky like an aeroplane", he told Fairfax

"It was like a piece of metal being thrown down. It's really hard to comprehend … The way it goes down is bordering on the edge of logic".But Australian aviation expert, Peter Marosszeky, from the University of NSW, disputed some of the figures cited, saying the descent figures particularly were "highly unlikely".Mr Soejatman said that at least as baffling was "the extremely low ground speed" which was as low as 61 knots during the descent. This would suggest the plane was heading almost straight down, explaining why it was found in the water just 10km from its last point of radar contact.

The new claims lend weight to the impression that the plane was subject to extraordinary forces from the weather. AirAsia chief executive Tony Fernandes said earlier this week that preliminary investigations suggested the jet encountered "very unique" weather on its flight last Sunday morning from Surabaya to Singapore.Mr Soejatman, a respected analyst in Indonesia, said the extremity of the forces on the plane meant the "black box" flight recorder would be of less use in explaining what happened than forensic examination of the pieces of wreckage currently lying in about 50m of water in the Karimata Strait between Borneo and the Belitung Islands off Sumatra."We are fortunate that it crashed in shallow water so we can find physical evidence outside the black box. It puts great emphasis on the importance of recovering pieces of the wreckage," he said.Navy and search and rescue divers were at the scene for the first time on Thursday.Mr Soejatman said the plane was equipped with a Mode S radar, a relatively new piece of equipment which sends more comprehensive information, in real time, from aircraft to ground.Leaked figures show the plane climbed at a virtually unprecedented rate of 6000 to 9000 feet per minute, and "you can't do that at altitude in an Airbus 320 with pilot action".The most that could normally be expected would be 1000 to 1500 feet on a sustained basis, with up to 3000 feet in a burst, he said.The plane then fell at an even more incredible rate: 11,000 feet per minute with bursts of up to 24,000 feet per minute.He said the Air France A330 Airbus that crashed in 2009 killing 228 passengers also reached dizzying ascent and descent rates, but some of the figures cited by Mr Soejatman are higher."We can't rule out that the data is wrong," he said, but added that they came from the aircraft itself, transmitted over the Mode S radar.As for an explanation, he said it was a "mystery"."One possibility is a strong updraft followed by strong ground draft, or structural failure of the aircraft."Mr Marosszeky, a Research Fellow at the University of NSW School of Aviation, said a climb rate of 6000 feet per minute would indicate "a severe weather event", because that rate of climb was "a domain for jet fighters". It was possible at this height in the tropics, he said.He said the black box flight recorder would still provide investigators with "very useful data", and that it was unlikely that the Mode S radar would give misreadings.He was sceptical, however, that the figure cited of up to 24,000 feet per minute descent was possible, saying that terminal velocity is nowhere near that speed.In the Air France case, an investigation revealed that pilot error had compounded difficult weather conditions to cause the crash.In the AirAsia case, Captain Iriyanto, the pilot, was a respected former airforce pilot and pilot trainer with 23,000 hours flying experience, 6000 of them for AirAsia. His plane was six years old and had last been through routine maintenance in November.AirAsia chief executive Tony Fernandes said earlier this week he had "full confidence in my fleet and crew". Without giving details, he steered blame towards the weather, saying his airline would continue business as usual, but suggesting that climate change was making weather worse and flying riskier, particularly in the tropics.

AirAsia Hopes Search Authorities Can Locate Crashed Aircraft Quickly-Published on Wednesday, 31 December 2014 19:54 - malaysiandigest.com

LUMPUR: AirAsia said today it hopes that the search-and-rescue authorities can quickly locate its crashed AirAsia Indonesia aircraft on the floor of the Java Sea.AirAsia Group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes wrote on his Twitter account @tonyfernandes: "I hope they can locate the aircraft quickly."He said he was on his way to Surabaya, Indonesia, again and was 'so impressed' with the Indonesian National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) which was leading the joint search team that comprises Malaysia and Singapore."I am touched again by the warmth of everyone in Indonesia and so impressed with Basarnas and the army," he said.Flight QZ8501, an Airbus A320-200 with 162 passengers and crew members, left Surabaya at 5.35 am on Sunday and was scheduled to arrive in Singapore at 8.20 am. However, it lost contact with Indonesian air traffic control mid-flight.International news agency Reuters had reported that rescuers had recovered seven bodies, some fully clothed, from the sea.It also reported that rescuers believed they had found the plane on the sea floor off Borneo, after sonar detected a large, dark object beneath the waters near where debris and bodies were found on the surface.Meanwhile, Malaysian Chief of Navy Admiral Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar said via Twitter that the navy's KD Lekir, one of three ships involved in the search mission, found the aircraft 'evacuation slide' at 12.30 pm on Thursday.The slide was an inflatable one used to evacuate an aircraft quickly and Abdul Aziz also posted two pictures of Malaysian navy personnel holding up the slide on the ship deck."The SAR (search-and-rescue) operation is ongoing," he tweeted.Malaysia had deployed three naval ships, namely KD Pahang, KD Lekir and KD Lekiu with a Fennec helicopter onboard, and three Royal Malaysian Air Force aircraft, namely C-130, CN235 and Beechcraft, to join the search mission since Monday.- Bernama

How the Wreckage of AirAsia 8501 Will Tell Us What Went Wrong-Published on Wednesday, 31 December 2014 08:51 - malaysiandigest.com

Search crews are retrieving debris and bodies from AirAsia Flight 8501 in the Karimata Strait between Sumatra and Borneo. As the recovery continues, the focus of the inquiry will shift to determining what brought the Airbus A320-200 down on Sunday morning.The debris was spotted Tuesday morning in relatively shallow water of 80 to 100 feet miles southeast of the plane’s last known location, according to press reports. The airliner, with 162 people aboard, left Surabaya, Indonesia en route for Singapore at 5:35 am local time. It encountered stormy weather and the flight crew sought permission to climb to 38,000 feet to avoid a cloud. Ground control lost contact with the airplane at 6:17 am local time.As the day wore on Tuesday, investigators began collecting debris: life vests, aircraft parts, luggage. There were conflicting accounts of how many bodies had been recovered, but The New York Times noted none of them were wearing life vests. Authorities said luggage and parts confirmed the debris was indeed from Flight 8501, and the Times reported that searchers reported seeing debris that may be a larger portion of the fuselage.“My heart is filled with sadness for all the families involved in QZ 8501,” Tony Fernandes, the head of AirAsia, wrote in a Twitter message soon after the debris was discovered. “On behalf of AirAsia my condolences to all. Words cannot express how sorry I am.”The debris is being brought to the nearest town, Pangkalan Bun, where investigators will begin literally piecing together the mystery of what happened. The three primary goals of any aviation accident inquiry are determining what happened, how it happened, and why it happened. Until the first question is answered, little headway is made on the others.

Now the Recovery Begins

Now that debris has been located, searchers will carefully collect it, tag it, and bring it to a warehouse or hangar. Collecting the bits and pieces that remain will be far easier than in two crashes Flight 8501 brings to mind: Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which vanished without a trace on March 8, and Air France 447, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Brazil in June, 2009. The inquiry into Flight 370 has been stymied because investigators have so little to go on—no wreckage or other sign of the aircraft, believed to have gone down in the south Indian Ocean, has been found. And although investigators found wreckage from Air France 447 within days, the extreme depth of the water—nearly 13,000 feet—helped delay the airplane’s discovery and subsequent recovery by two years.But the wreckage of Flight 8501 debris was located in water just 80 to 100 feet deep, according to CNN, and 110 nautical miles southwest of Pangkalan Bun. There were conflicting reports on exactly where the wreckage was located, with CNN and others saying it was 6 miles southeast of the plane’s last known location and The New York Times saying it was 60 miles, and attributing the distance to strong ocean currents. That should make collecting debris and retrieving the dead significantly easier, even if rough seas reportedly are hampering the recovery effort.The lightest, most buoyant pieces, such as seat cushions, sections of the fuselage, human remains, and the like, will float on the water or eventually wash up on land. Some of those pieces from the AirAsia flight, and at least three bodies, have been recovered by divers lowered by helicopter. Heavier parts like landing gear, engines, and large sections of airframe will have sunk, more or less directly below the point at which they hit the water. Locating a debris field will further focus the search area for these key components. In the case of Air France 447, the investigators carefully mapped the crash site using sonar and more than 85,000 photographs, then sent down an ROV with such precise fine motor skills, it could unbuckle seat belts. To bring the black boxes and pieces like the engines and avionics bay to the surface, they used a cable vessel, designed to keep its exact position even in rough weather and seas, and to lay cables on the seabed within one meter of a target.Before retrieving anything, recovery personnel will be briefed by Airbus, CFM International (the engine manufacturer, a joint venture between General Electric and French firm Safran), and others on how to lift major components from the sea and minimize the risk of further damaging them. Once pulled from the water, each part will be treated with solvents to arrest the rapid corrosion that comes with submersion in salt water.

Assembling the World’s Most Complicated Puzzle

As all the parts continue coming in, investigators will begin the painstaking process of putting them all together again. Aircraft crash reconstruction is, in many ways, the world’s most complicated jigsaw puzzle, with half the parts missing.Everything that can be collected will be carefully reassembled to reconstruct the airplane as thoroughly as possible. This proved vital in the investigation of TWA Flight 800, which crashed off the coast of New York’s Long Island in 1996. Some eyewitness reports suggested it was brought down by a missile. But careful collection and assembly of the wreckage led investigators to conclude an electrical problem in a fuel tank led to an explosion.Metallurgists, engineers, and other experts will examine the debris in minute detail. They will be joined by evidence recovery teams and criminal investigators until foul play is ruled out. Scorching or soot suggest a fire. The manner in which debris is torn, bent, or otherwise damaged can indicate whether the plane blew apart, broke up at altitude, or disintegrated upon hitting the water. If evidence points toward an explosion—though there is nothing at this point to suggest that was the case with Flight 8501—experts will determine whether the blast was subsonic, suggesting the failure of something like a fuel tank, or supersonic, suggesting a bomb or missile. If wreckage indicates the plane hit the water intact, it also would suggest the angle and velocity of the impact. An examination of the cabin and cockpit could provide additional clues. Deployed oxygen masks could suggest the cabin depressurized, for example, but are also prone to coming loose in a collision.Forensic pathologists, odontologists (who study teeth), anthropologists, and fingerprint experts will identify the bodies and examine them for further clues. Burns and smoke inhalation suggest a fire, for example, and the nature of physical trauma would indicate the force with which the plane hit the water.

The Black Boxes Are Essential

For all it can tell us about what happened, physical evidence can only answer so much. Locating the black box flight data and cockpit voice recorders will be essential. These two items, each a little larger than a shoebox, will be the focus of a relentless search. Investigators spent more than two years combing the sea floor for the black box Air France 447 before finding it 13,000 feet down. That said, recovering the data recorders from 8501 should occur quickly, given the plane is in relatively shallow water.One of the black boxes (they’re actually orange, so they are easier to see) is the flight data recorder, which keeps constant track of at least 88 flight parameters like airspeed, heading, attitude, altitude, autopilot engagement, and the position of various flight control surfaces. The other is the cockpit voice recorder, which records everything said in the cockpit on a two-hour loop. Since the AirAsia plane went missing less than an hour after taking off, that will provide all the information investigators need.The black boxes each have a pinger that activates upon contact with water, broadcasting on a special frequency that hydrophones can pick up to help locate the final resting place of the airframe. It has batteries to run for some thirty days. So the clock is ticking, but given that searchers are already finding debris in the water, they’ll be able to work backwards to hopefully locate the main wreckage of the aircraft. Even after 30 days, the pinging may stop, but the data isn’t going anywhere.As with all commercial air crashes, solving the mystery of AirAsia Flight QZ8501 will be a long, slow and expensive process. The investigation into Air France 447 took three years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars; the so far fruitless hunt for MH370 is considered the most expensive in history.But aviation experts say it is imperative that we learn as much as possible about what happened, both for the families of those who died and for everyone who flies. There is a common refrain in aviation that the rules are written in blood. Every rule and regulation, every policy and procedure, was written from a past experience that got someone injured or killed.

31 December 2014 Last updated at 13:41 ET-AirAsia QZ8501: Surabaya vigil held for victims-A candlelit vigil was held for the 162 people on board flight QZ8501, as Rupert Wingfield Hayes reports-bbc news

A vigil has been held in the Indonesian city of Surabaya for the victims of the AirAsia Flight QZ8501 crash.Hundreds of residents and relatives of those on board lit candles and observed a minute's silence for the victims.Flight QZ8501, carrying 162 people from Surabaya to Singapore, disappeared on Sunday. Debris from the flight was located in the sea on Tuesday.Seven bodies have been retrieved, but weather conditions have hindered further salvage efforts.There were 137 adult passengers, 17 children and one infant, along with two pilots and five crew, on the plane.The majority of those on board were Indonesians.Hundreds of people, including young children, turned out to the vigil in Surabaya on Wednesday evening.Surabaya's Mayor Tri Rismaharini said: "Let us pray for the grieving families of those on board the plane. Let us pray this will be the last tragedy for Surabaya."All New Year's Eve celebrations in East Java province were cancelled. In Jakarta, the capital, residents began new year festivities with a prayer for the victims. A number of other cities cancelled or scaled down their new year celebrations.Indonesians light candles during a prayer for victims of the AirAsia flight QZ8501 crash in Surabaya, Indonesia, 31 December 2014 Hundreds attended the vigil, where prayers were held for the victims.Earlier on Wednesday, the first two bodies from the crash were flown back to Surabaya. The bodies were in coffins numbered 001 and 002, as they had not yet been identified.The other five bodies are reportedly on board a ship headed to a harbour near the town of Pangkalan Bun in the Indonesian part of Borneo.Four of the seven bodies are male and three female, one of them a flight attendant.Family members of those on the flight have been asked for DNA samples to help identify the victims.It is not yet clear what happened to the plane but its last communication was a request to air traffic control to fly higher to avoid bad weather. The pilot did not respond when given permission.A three-day search culminated on Tuesday with the discovery of remains including aircraft parts, luggage and three bodies in the Karimata Strait, south-west of Pangkalan Bun.Search teams recovered four more bodies on Wednesday, before the search was called off for the day due to adverse weather.Strong winds and 2m waves left helicopters grounded and prevented divers from searching the waters.Ships have been deployed to search for wreckage from the plane. Officials are hoping to recover the black box flight recorder, which could provide information about the crash.The Associated Press news agency quoted one official as saying the bodies of victims could end up being washed up on beaches."It seems all the wreckage found has drifted more than 50km (31 miles) from yesterday's location," Vice Air Marshal Sunarbowo Sandi said.The search is being led by Indonesia but is a multinational effort. Singapore has sent ships equipped with sensors to detect pings that may be emitted from the plane's black boxes.Malaysia, Australia and Thailand are also involved, while the US destroyer USS Sampson has been sent to the zone.AirAsia previously had an excellent safety record and there were no fatal accidents involving its aircraft.
