The black box of the Lion Air plane has been decoded

The newly extracted data from the black box is thought to be consistent with the hypotheses that previous researchers have made.

The newly extracted data from the black box is thought to be consistent with the hypotheses that previous researchers have made.

Data from the black box of Lion Air (Indonesia) Boeing 737 Max 8 plane crashed into the Java Sea last month showed that the pilot had struggled to save the plane but failed.

Specifically, the pilot attempted to save the Boeing 737 Max 8 from the moment it took off because the plane's nose was constantly down due to damage to the sensor, according to the New York Times.

Specifically, during an 11-minute flight, the nose of the Boeing 737 Max is continuously pressed at least 25 times. After each plane crashed, the pilot attempted to bring the plane back to equilibrium but eventually could not control and the plane crashed into the sea at more than 700 km / hour.

The information was taken from a preliminary investigation of Indonesia's aviation accident last month that killed 189 people on the plane. All reports will be published in the afternoon of November 28.

The newly extracted data from the black box is thought to be consistent with the hypotheses that the researchers previously made: That the angle sensor system (AOA) provides the pilot's data to the angle of the section. The nose of the aircraft to prevent the plane from crashing had encountered previous problems.

'It all fits the previous hypothesis,' - John Hansman Jr., professor of aeronautics and astronautics, and director of the international center for air transport at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said.

Investigators said before the accident, the Boeing 737 Max 8 plane had a problem in the last four flights. There is a journey in which both the AOA sensor and the speedometer have problems. By October 28, Lion Air replaced the AOA sensor for the Boeing 737 Max 8. However, many experts fear that this replacement does not improve the problem but also makes it worse.

In a statement on November 27, Boeing said it could not comment on the accident because the investigation process is still underway. However, the company also reiterated: "The appropriate response of the crew to these cases, regardless of the cause, is already set out in the existing procedures".

On October 29, Lion Air's Boeing 737 Max 8 was missing from radar just 13 minutes after taking off from Jakarta. The aircraft was later found in the Java Sea about 15km from the shore. Aircraft black box was found on November 1.
