JAKARTA - A confluence of technical faults in an AirAsia passenger jet that the flight crew could not resolve in mid-air led to the crash of flight QZ8501 last December, killing all 162 people on board, an investigation report released by Indonesia on Tuesday (Dec 1) has revealed.
The pilots had tried to resolve the issue according to procedure but was unable to do so because of the "electrical interruption" to the flight augmentation computer (FAC), causing the autopilot to disengage.
The Airbus A320, while in manual flight, subsequently rolled, stalled and crashed, killing all on board.
