UAE says Emirates pilots did not monitor settings in 2016 crash – ZAWYA

Emirates crew failed to monitor settings in 2016 crash, probe finds. Investigators on Thursday said pilots failed to monitor engine settings ahead of the crash of an Emirates jet at Dubai airport more than three years ago, in which all 300 passengers and crew safely evacuated but a firefigher died.. Pilots on the flight from India in August 2016 did not notice that the Boeing 777-300's engine thrust settings remained too low and also missed out part of a cockpit procedure, investigators said.. The UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority said the pilots of flight EK521 tried to abort the landing after the plane's main wheels had already touched down, cutting off automatic access to full engine power.. The final report raised the number of injured people to 32 from 30, including four cabin crew members who sustained serious injuries..
