Pilot Assumed Concrete Mound at Jeju Air Crash Site Was Dirt

Credited from: SCMP

  • A pilot with seven years of experience at Muan International Airport revealed he presumed a concrete mound was a dirt pile.
  • The collision with this mound, which housed a localiser, likely led to the catastrophic explosion during the belly landing.
  • There were no airport charts or guidance indicating the mound's true structure, which is 2 metres high and 4 metres thick.
  • The pilot also commented on the bird strike warnings issued before the incident, noting regular monitoring of bird activity.
  • The December 29 accident caused the death of 179 passengers and injuries to two crew members.
