Home: Report The preliminary crash report reveals that instead of using the flaps lever in the
cockpit to configure the aircraft for landing, one of the pilots operated levers
which "feathered" the engines - bringing engine power to zero.

Less than a minute later, the ATR-72 aircraft crashed and stalled.

The plane lost thrust and fell after the propellers of both engines went into the
feathered position. It is rare for the propellers of both engines to come to a
feathered position, the report notes.

"When Air Traffic Controller (ATC) gave the clearance for landing..., the Pilot Flying
(PF) mentioned twice that there was no power coming from the engines," the
report says.

The engines of the aircraft were fully functional at the time of the accident.

Flaps are rectangular panels on the wings that are extended to increase their
surface area and give the aircraft more lift at slow speed during landing and
taking off. If the flaps aren't extended before landing, the plane loses the lift and
crashes. Bringing the engine to idle speed with no flaps extended during landing
is a gravely unstable configuration.

The flight was being operated by two Captains - one was in the process of being
familiarised for operations into Pokhara. The co-pilot was an instructor pilot.

The pilot landing the aircraft for the landing is believed to have been Anju
Khatiwada, one of six women pilots in the airline. Her husband, Dipak Pokhrel,
flew for the same airline and was killed in a crash in 2006.

The crash was captured live by some Indian passengers who were also killed.
