Ethiopian Airlines flight repeatedly nose-dived before crash, but pilots not to blame according to official reportUpdatedThe first report into the Ethiopian Airlines disaster has found the flight experienced "nose dive conditions", and pilots followed proper guidance but could not control the doomed Boeing 737 MAX 8 jetliner last month. It was the second crash of a 737 MAX within five months, following a Lion Air crash in Indonesia. A statement from the airline said flight 302 repeatedly nose-dived before it crashed, citing the preliminary report. Ms Moges recommended Boeing review the aircraft control system and that aviation authorities confirm the problem had been solved before allowing that model of plane back into the air. "Since repetitive uncommanded aircraft nose down conditions are noticed … it is recommend that the aircraft control system shall be reviewed by the manufacturer," Ms Moges said.
