Tripoli crash pilot reported no technical problems
The pilot of the Afriqiyah Airways flight which crashed on Wednesday killing 103 people, did not report any technical problems prior to the accident, the head of the investigation team told reporters on Friday.
‘The pilot did not report any problems. The situation was normal between the pilot and air traffic control until the last moment, ‘ Neji Dhaou is quoted as saying by the NRC.
‘What I can confirm is that the plane hit the ground before reaching the runway,’ he said, adding that the investigation team is ‘ruling nothing out’.
The commission is made up of Libyan and South African experts, two French nationals, five people from Airbus and two representatives from the Netherlands. American researchers are expected to join later on Friday because the motors and navigation system were American, website nu.nl said.
