QZ8501: Basarnas to continue search for victims' bodies-Bernama | Updated: January 28, 2015-ASTRO AWANI
JAKARTA: The search and rescue (SAR) operation for 92 remaining bodies of Airasia Indonesia Flight QZ8501 victims will continue despite not involving other parties such as the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI).Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) head, Bambang Soelistyo said the withdrawal of TNI was not related to the ceasing of the operation as reported in the media."As the search and rescue coordinator, I have not called for the operation to be halted. As such the search operation will continue," he told a news conference aired 'live' via MetroNews here today.Bambang said the strength of Basarnas was not affected without TNI as Basarnas also has its own search system such as underwater search equipment carried out by a ship owned by the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas).He said Basarnas has given the SAR team a two-day rest after working for a month in the seas.QZ8501-Lukas Joko (left), a brother of a missing QZ8501 passenger speaks to journalists beside Bambang (second left) during a press conference joined by government rescue officials and relatives of victims in Jakarta on Jan 28. Basarnas said 92 victims still missing could be lost on the seabed or have been swept away after no more bodies were found in the jet’s fuselage. - AFP Photo/Romeo Gacad-Today is the 31st day the AirAsia aircraft, which was on its way from Surabaya to Singapore, crashed and so far SAR had recovered 70 bodies. Out of that, 55 bodies were identified and handed over to their respective next-of-kin.Basarnas is now focusing on the search for bodies and does not carry out search for the aircraft wreckage.The authorities had also started investigations after finding the black box of the plane last week following the lifting of the aircraft fuselage from sea base in Karimata Straits in Java Sea two days ago.The Airbus plane was carrying 162 passengers and crew members from Surabaya to Singapore when it lost contact with the control tower, 40 minutes after takeoff on Dec 28.
MH370: Interim report on probe to be released March 7-Bernama | Updated: January 28, 2015-ASTRO AWANI
KUALA LUMPUR: The Transport Ministry will release the interim report on the investigation into the MH370 incident on March 7, one year after the Malaysia Airlines plane went missing on March 8, last year.Its deputy minister Datuk Ab Aziz Kaprawi said the content of the report would be revealed by minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai before being uploaded onto the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) website." We are ready for it (releasing the findings of the investigation) on March 7," he told reporters after opening the Southeast Asia Regional Aviation Security Workshop, here, today.He was commenting on the latest developments with regard to the search operation and investigation into the missing airliner with 239 passengers and crew members on board while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.The search for the Boeing 777 is being carried out in the Indian Ocean, believed to be where Flight MH370 had ended after going off course while heading for Beijing.When asked whether the government would be finalising the status of the aircraft after releasing the interim report, Ab Aziz said it would be announced if so."The compensation for the next-of-kin of the passengers and crew will also be announced after the status of the aircraft has been announced," he said.
MH370: Search mission has covered 15,000 square kilometre area-Astro Awani | Updated: January 24, 2015-ASTRO AWANI
MUAR: The search mission for the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Flight MH370, which vanished since March 8 last year, has covered a 15,000 square kilometre area from the 60,000 square kilometre area in the Indian Ocean.Transport Minister, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said, approximately 26 percent of the area has been thoroughly scoured using four search vessels.However, he said, in the event additional search vessels are provided, the remaining search area can be covered by May this year.The Malaysian government, together with Australia, has allocated as much as RM173.4 million each in preliminary tenders to allow them to assess which organisations would be able to supply the equipment and expertise required in the search." As we have allocated RM60 million for the search efforts and Australia have also allocated RM60 million, so with this total amount we have created an open tender and have contracted Fugro Discovery to do its search at the southern region of the Indian Ocean," said Liow said after his visit to the Road Transport Department (JPJ) in Muar, Johor.Malaysia will also send experts to assist the Indonesian government investigate the crash involving AirAsia Flight QZ8501 last month.The Indonesian government had established a special committee which would allow Malaysia to send investigators and investigate the cause of the accident.The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft carried 227 passengers and 12 crew members departed from Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 12:41 midnight on March 8 and disappeared from radar about an hour later when it crossed the South China Sea.It was supposed to arrive in Beijing at 6:30am the same day.To date, the aircraft has not been found and the search effort continues.
Exclusive: AirAsia probe vets possible computer glitch, crew response-Reuters By Siva Govindasamy and Tim Hepher
Investigators probing the crash of an AirAsia jetliner are examining maintenance records of a key part of its automated control systems, and how the pilots may have handled the plane if it failed, two people familiar with the matter said.An outage of the twin Flight Augmentation Computers (FAC) could not have directly caused the Dec. 28 crash, experts say, but without them the pilots would have had to rely on manual flying skills that are often stretched during a sudden airborne emergency."There appears to be some issue with the FAC," a person familiar with the investigation said, adding that more information was being sought from the manufacturer and airline.Indonesia has said the Airbus A320 jet climbed abruptly from its cruising height and then stalled, or lost lift, before plunging out of control into the Java Sea, killing all 162 people on board.A second person familiar with the probe said investigators were looking at how the pilots dealt with the chain of events leading up to the crash. Neither person agreed to be identified, because details of the investigation remain confidential.The pair of computers comprising the A320's FAC system is mainly responsible for controlling rudder movements and helping to keep the airplane stable, as well detecting windshear, or sudden changes in wind speed or direction.Indonesian magazine Tempo reported a series of maintenance problems with the computerized rudder system of that particular aircraft in the days and months before the loss of Flight QZ8501.Pictures of wreckage retrieved from the Java Sea provide little evidence that the crash was caused by problems with the rudder.But, after partially analyzing data from the "black box" voice and flight data recorders, investigators have extended their interest to the FAC computers, the two people familiar with the probe said.A problem with the system may help explain another key element of the crash - why the jet did not automatically correct itself before entering into a stall, even if accidentally encouraged to do so by crew.
MANUAL CONTROL
Airbus jets are designed to provide "flight envelope protection", making it virtually impossible to push them outside safe design limits when operating in normal flying mode.But when the computers are unable to perform their tasks, control is automatically handed to the pilots who must fall back on training and fly manually, in so-called "alternate" mode.A failure of both FAC computers - one primary, the other back-up - is one of those rare circumstances that can cause the usual stall protection to trip.That alone would not explain why such a jet might crash and it is unlikely to be the only scenario being considered by investigators. It was not clear when any fault might have developed, but it would, if confirmed, be one possible explanation of how the plane got into the state where the Indonesian pilot and French first officer would need to take over and display skill under stress."Stall protection can trip in very exceptional circumstances and the pilots need to react to that," an A320 pilot said, asking not to be named since he is not allowed to talk to media. Airbus said it would not comment on the investigation or the crashed jet, but stressed that this type of aircraft is designed to be flown manually even when the safety buffer is not available."The aircraft remains fully controllable if you lose the two FACs," an Airbus spokesman said by email."The consequence of losing the two FACs is that the pilot has to fly manually like a conventional aircraft, which by definition has no flight envelope protection."
PRELIMINARY REPORT DUE
Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC) declined to comment. The agency will submit its preliminary report to the International Civil Aviation Organization later this week, but said on Tuesday it would not include an analysis of the data from the black boxes.AirAsia, referring to the jet by its 5-letter registration, said it could not comment on the aircraft or the investigation."We are unable to comment on technical matters related to PK-AXC at this time as we would like to avoid adding to speculation while the investigation by the NTSC is still ongoing," an AirAsia spokeswoman said by email.In October, airlines were given four years to upgrade FACs on A320 jets at the next repair after a design review. An emergency European safety directive in December instructed crew how to disable computerized flight protections themselves but only in extremely rare circumstances.There is no indication Airbus or regulators have identified anything that would raise wider concerns about the safety of the 6,100 A320-family aircraft in operation.Under aviation rules, Airbus must notify operators worldwide if it discovers anything that could affect the safety of the whole fleet and it has not so far done so.But investigators will want to examine what caused the plane to slip out of its usual safely cocooned flying mode, how it entered a stall and what actions the crew took in response.Some pilot unions, including those at Air France after an A330 jet crashed in the Atlantic in 2009, have argued in the past that Airbus systems are so complex that pilots can be overwhelmed when things go wrong. The jetmaker denies this.(Editing by Alex Richardson)

It was not clear when any fault might have developed, but it would, if confirmed, be one possible explanation of how the plane got into the state where the Indonesian pilot and French first officer would need to take over and display skill under stress."Stall protection can trip in very exceptional circumstances and the pilots need to react to that," an A320 pilot said, asking not to be named since he is not allowed to talk to media. Airbus said it would not comment on the investigation or the crashed jet, but stressed that this type of aircraft is designed to be flown manually even when the safety buffer is not available."The aircraft remains fully controllable if you lose the two FACs," an Airbus spokesman said by email."The consequence of losing the two FACs is that the pilot has to fly manually like a conventional aircraft, which by definition has no flight envelope protection."
PRELIMINARY REPORT DUE
Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC) declined to comment. The agency will submit its preliminary report to the International Civil Aviation Organization later this week, but said on Tuesday it would not include an analysis of the data from the black boxes.AirAsia, referring to the jet by its 5-letter registration, said it could not comment on the aircraft or the investigation."We are unable to comment on technical matters related to PK-AXC at this time as we would like to avoid adding to speculation while the investigation by the NTSC is still ongoing," an AirAsia spokeswoman said by email.In October, airlines were given four years to upgrade FACs on A320 jets at the next repair after a design review. An emergency European safety directive in December instructed crew how to disable computerized flight protections themselves but only in extremely rare circumstances.There is no indication Airbus or regulators have identified anything that would raise wider concerns about the safety of the 6,100 A320-family aircraft in operation.Under aviation rules, Airbus must notify operators worldwide if it discovers anything that could affect the safety of the whole fleet and it has not so far done so.But investigators will want to examine what caused the plane to slip out of its usual safely cocooned flying mode, how it entered a stall and what actions the crew took in response.Some pilot unions, including those at Air France after an A330 jet crashed in the Atlantic in 2009, have argued in the past that Airbus systems are so complex that pilots can be overwhelmed when things go wrong. The jetmaker denies this.(Editing by Alex Richardson)
