Pilot Awareness Lacking in Jeju Air Crash at South Korea's Muan Airport

Credited from: SCMP

  • A pilot with seven years of experience at Muan International Airport testified he was unaware of a concrete mound on the runway.
  • He assumed the mound was merely a dirt pile, not realizing it was a substantial concrete structure contributing to the crash.
  • The accident occurred during a landing attempt on December 29, leading to a catastrophic explosion after colliding with the mound.
  • This crash resulted in the tragic death of 179 passengers and injuries to two crew members.
  • Prior warnings regarding bird strikes had been issued, but the pilot emphasized regular monitoring of bird activity.
