Why Did the Nepal Plane Crash in Fair Weather? (TIME)

A dramatic video shot on a smartphone from the ground shows the last moments before the plane crashed in a gorge about 1.6 kilometers (a mile) from newly opened ...

The report said such accidents happened at airports that had short strips of runway for takeoff and landing and most were due to pilot error. According to the Safety Matters Foundation’s data, there have been 42 fatal plane crashes in Nepal since 1946. Professor Ron Bartsch, an aviation safety expert and founder of Australia’s Avlaw Aviation Consulting, told Sydney’s Channel 9 that he also thought the plane appears to have gone into a stall. “But normally aircraft don’t just fall out of the sky, particularly modern aircraft.” The aircraft’s nose is noticeably high before the left wing suddenly drops and the plane falls out of sight of the video, indicating a likely stall, said Amit Singh, an experienced pilot and founder of India’s Safety Matters Foundation. Pilots say Nepal can be a challenging place to fly, but conditions at the time of the crash were good, with low wind, clear skies and temperatures well above freezing.
