Probe of Caribbean Airlines crash still on
Investigations into Caribbean Airlines Limited Flight BW 523 which crash-landed in
The broken Caribbean Airlines plane in Guyana shortly after the crash on July 30th.
Guyana on July 30, 2011 have now turned to analysing simulations of the aircraft when it crash-landed.
The simulations that were done were based on data retrieved from the flight data recorder (FDR) and the cockpit voice recorder (CVR), explained Ramesh Lutchmedial, Director-General of Trinidad and Tobago Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), in a Trinidad and Tobago Newsday article yesterday.
The aircraft touched down at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport in rainy conditions, overshot the runway and split in half on stopping. No fatalities were recorded. There was one major injury.
Lutchmedial spoke with Newsday on Friday on the status of the investigations at the Ministry of Transport, International Waterfront, Port-of-Spain.
At present, the investigations, he said, were moving apace in record time.
“We are hoping,” he said, “that within the next three months we would have the report ready.” “We have merged the data from the FDR and the CVR to actually simulate what happened when the aircraft landed,” he said.
He added, “We’re in the process of doing very detailed analyses of the simulations. Once the analyses are completed we would start drawing conclusions, and then write the report.”
The investigation is being led by the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority with assistance from the US National Transportation and Safety Board.
