& lt 1 & gt； Beijing, May 3 (Xinhua) According to the Associated Press, an aviation representative of Yerevan, the capital of Armavia's crashed passenger plane, revealed that the crashed passenger plane had talked with the Sochi airport tower before it crashed in the early hours of the morning.

The anonymous aviation representative said that the tower staff said the weather was very bad, but the plane could land.

Officials from the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal said that the crash may have been caused by bad weather.

15 Among the foreign tourists, 13 is German, and the other two are from the United States and Britain. All three crew members

It's Nepalese. The 13 German tourists spent 10 days in Nepal and were originally scheduled to return to China on 23rd.

This small passenger plane took off from the Mustang area in northwest Nepal that morning, and its destination was Boquera, the second largest city in western Nepal and a famous tourist resort. 10 or so, the plane lost contact with the tower of Boquera airport. It turned out that the plane crashed on a mountain about1530m high in the southwest of Boquera. It's only about 5 kilometers from Boquera.

A Nepalese reporter who arrived at the scene told the Associated Press that the plane broke and crashed because it hit a hillside. "There are charred bodies and debris everywhere. It is still raining, which makes the rescue work more difficult. " A nearby villager named Poorna Bahadur Tapa said, "I heard a loud noise. We can't see anything because of the fog. We ran out of the village and climbed the slippery hillside and found that the plane had become a fragment. "

An official at Boquera Airport said that rescuers later found the bodies of all the victims, and the military sent a cargo plane to transport the bodies to Kathmandu, the capital.

August is still the rainy season in Nepal. So far, floods and landslides caused by heavy rains have claimed nearly 500 lives. Due to poor visibility, Nepalese army rescue helicopters could not take off from Kathmandu, and the victims were delayed in getting urgently needed blankets, food and medicine. It is reported that the heavy rain in Boquera has not stopped in the past three days, and the local area is mountainous and forested, with poor visibility.

A spokeswoman for the German Embassy in Nepal said that the above-mentioned 15 tourists were originally scheduled to fly from Yema to Boquera on February/kloc-0, but they were cancelled due to bad weather.

The crashed plane was a small twin-engine passenger plane made in Canada and owned by private Shangri-La Airlines.

(4) Xinjiang News Network Urumqi May 19 News According to Sohu Xinjiang News, Wang Yantian, an expert from the Airworthiness Department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, believes that the weather may be the biggest culprit.

He said that when taking off, pilots should observe the electronic navigation system, put away the landing gear, obey the command of the ground tower, look for landing opportunities at busy airports, and observe the flight environment around the airport to bypass other planes that are entering and leaving. If the weather is bad and the airport environment can't be seen clearly with the naked eye, we can only land by instruments, but the instruments are far from intuitive to observe with the naked eye. Pilots are under great pressure to respond to the data displayed by the instrument in a very short time. Therefore, it has become a frequent period of aircraft accidents. At that time, there was a strong wind of magnitude 7 around Urumqi airport, accompanied by dust, which directly increased the difficulty of pilots' operation.

(5) Shin Hyun-seok, the South Korean ambassador to Cambodia, said that a chartered plane that crashed in Cambodia on Monday was obviously wrecked because it changed its route to avoid the storm.

After inspecting the scene of the accident, Shen Xuanxi said that the fake plane obviously turned to the southeast when it flew into the storm from the sea, but unfortunately it hit the top of Borg Mountain. The plane crash killed all 22 people on board, including 13 Korean tourists. Shen Xuanxi said that at that time, the plane was flying directly from Siem Reap to Sihanoukville village across the sea. After receiving the permission signal from the tower, the pilot changed course and flew directly to the mountainous area.

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said that the cause of the crash was probably bad weather rather than mechanical failure.

China Journal Online News: Patrick Smith, an expert familiar with African aviation, speculated that the crash of Kenya Airways Boeing on the 5th may be related to the bad thunderstorm weather. However, some analysts pointed out that it is still too early to evaluate the specific causes of the plane crash, and many investigations still need to be carried out in depth.

According to American media reports, Smith said that the pilot will not take the initiative to fly the plane into the thunderstorm air mass, but the plane is likely to accidentally "hit" the strong airflow over Africa, thus getting into trouble. When an airplane is "attacked" by airflow, it often has structural failure and falls.

It is understood that the coverage of civil aviation radar early warning system in the African continent is limited, and aircraft often encounter "unprepared" bad weather during navigation. Many dangers experienced by pilots in Africa are caused by strong airflow such as thunderstorms.

In the early morning of the 5th, a Boeing 737-800 passenger plane of Kenya Airways lost contact with the ground shortly after taking off from Douala. There are 1 14 people on board, five of whom are from China. The plane has been confirmed to have crashed in a swamp area in southwest Cameroon. According to the current on-site search, there are no signs of survival of the passengers and crew on board. This crashed passenger plane is the latest model of Boeing 737 series, which has just been put into operation in Kenya Airways for six months.
