Default Flash Airlines



http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=9145

The Egyptian head of the investigating team, Shaker Qelada, said the pilot
had asked the co-pilot to switch on the autopilot during a left turn
undertaken shortly after takeoff from Sharm el-Sheikh airport.

Qelada told a press conference that, according to the flight data and voice
cockpit recorders of the doomed Flash Airlines Boeing 737, the auto-pilot
worked for four seconds and then the pilot asked the co-pilot to switch it
off.

"While the autopilot was on, we hear the pilot saying he spotted something
wrong," said the investigator, without specifying whether the hitch was
related to the autopilot.

"Seconds later, the co-pilot says the plane is not responding as it should.
We hear that the plane is going to the right, and it kept going to the
right," he said.
