Episode notes
Cause of Crash Explained
- The crash was caused by dual-engine failure due to fuel being cut off to both engines after takeoff.
- The airplane lost lift and crashed within 60 seconds of flight, per preliminary reports.
Fuel Control Switches Role
- Both fuel control switches were mechanically set to cut off, which stops fuel to the engines causing flameout.
- This is a simple, manual three-step process done by pilots to shut down engines at the gate.
Unprecedented Switch Operation
- No known procedure exists to place both fuel control switches to cut off during takeoff.
- Both switches were placed to cut off one second apart, which suggests deliberate single-handed action rather than accidental slips.
