According to the yet unpublished report on the Ju-Air machine crash, the pilots are said to have flown too low. Charges are also brought against the Federal Office of Civil Aviation.
The cause was human error
In August two years ago, two pilots with 18 passengers aboard the Ju-52 crashed in the Graubünden Alps. More details about the Ju-Air machine accident are now available in the form of an unpublished report in the “SonntagsZeitung”. He says the pilots lost control of the historic plane through their own fault.
According to the report, the two pilots engaged in “risky behavior” and recklessly violated the rules. At the time of the accident, the aircraft was heading from Locarno back to Dübendorf, near Piz Segnas. Apparently, the Ju-52 captains kept a very short distance from the edge of the mountain. Therefore, when flying, the specified maneuvering space was not observed.
This was the reason why the pilots could no longer “fly in a backward curve”, so the aircraft crashed perpendicular to the ground below the Segnes pass.
Inadequate controls
The “Aunt Jus” pilots have already completed several flights together. According to the report, the two men had “breached the prescribed minimum height several times.” For this reason, accusations are made against the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (Bazl), which did not draw conclusions from the behavior of the pilots in the field. Furthermore, as a CEO of a competitor in the “SonntagsZeitung” put it, Ju-Air was controlled much less strictly than other similar companies.
Bazl spokesperson Urs Holderegger rejects this claim that individual companies were given preference in supervision. Regarding low-level flights, Holderegger says that “in most cases” they did not have “reliable references” to take action against Ju-Air. El Bazl will not comment on the content of the report until the final version is publicly available.
