Dia tidak sepatutnya menerbangkan pesawat.

Namun segala ujian kelayakan untuk mengesan depresi berjaya dilepasi beliau .

Dia menunggu kapten keluar dari kokpit  kemudian mengunci pintu kokpit dan tidak membenar kapten masuk semula.

Secara sengaja menurunkan pesawat dan merempuh batuan.

Apakah yang cetuskan beliau buat demikian. Spontan,,?  dirancang?

Bunuh diri? Membunuh beramai-ramai?

 Huh..dunia dunia...

"The killer Alps pilot’s boss last night admitted he had slipped through the ‘safety net’ and should never have been flying.

As police removed computer equipment from Andreas Lubitz’s flat, it emerged the 28-year-old fitness fanatic had suffered from depression and ‘burnout’ which had held up his career.

But, incredibly, he passed all his psychological assessments and was considered fit to fly. 

Yesterday prosecutors revealed chilling recordings from the doomed Germanwings Airbus A320 showing that piano teacher’s son Lubitz locked his captain out of the cockpit so he could crash the plane into an alpine ravine, killing his 149 passengers.

Prosecutors said the screams of passengers aware of their fate could be heard in the final seconds.

In a blunt admission, Carsten Spohr, the head of Lufthansa which owns the budget airline, admitted Lubitz had slipped through the safety net with devastating consequences.

‘The pilot had passed all his tests, all his medical exams,’ he said. ‘He was 100 per cent fit to fly without any restrictions. 

'We have at Lufthansa, a reporting system where crew can report – without being punished – their own problems, or they can report about the problems of others without any kind of punishment. 

'All the safety nets we are all so proud of here have not worked in this case.’

Yesterday, as repercussions of Tuesday’s tragedy sent shockwaves through the airline industry:

• Airlines across Europe reviewed safety rules and insisted that no pilot should be left alone in the cockpit;
• Police urgently probed the background of Lubitz amid rumours that his personal life was seriously troubled;
• Detectives said they had made a ‘significant discovery’ during a four-hour search of his flat, but insisted it was not a suicide note."

"One of the two pilots flying the ill-fated Germanwings flight was locked out of the cockpit before the aircraft crashed into a remote region of the French Alps, it has been reported. Audio taken from the black box voice recorder that was salvaged from the obliterated wreckage of the Airbus A320 indicates the pilot left the cockpit and could not re-enter, an official told the New York Times. A senior military official involved in the investigation said the pilot is heard knocking lightly on the door of the cockpit before hitting the door harder when he gets no answer.

Petikan from New York Times::

"PARIS — As officials struggled Wednesday to explain why a jet with 150 people on board crashed in relatively clear skies, an investigator said evidence from a cockpit voice recorder indicated one pilot left the cockpit before the plane’s descent and was unable to get back in.

A senior military official involved in the investigation described “very smooth, very cool” conversation between the pilots during the early part of the flight from Barcelona to Düsseldorf. Then the audio indicated that one of the pilots left the cockpit and could not re-enter.

“The guy outside is knocking lightly on the door and there is no answer,” the investigator said. “And then he hits the door stronger and no answer. There is never an answer.”

He said, “You can hear he is trying to smash the door down.”

While the audio seemed to give some insight into the circumstances leading up to the Germanwings crash, it also left many questions unanswered.

"We don’t know yet the reason why one of the guys went out,” said the official, who requested anonymity because the investigation is continuing. "But what is sure is that at the very end of the flight, the other pilot is alone and does not open the door."

the crash and provides no indication of the condition or activity of the pilot who remained in the cockpit. The descent from 38,000 feet over about 10 minutes was alarming but still gradual enough to indicate that the twin-engine Airbus A320 had not been damaged catastrophically . At no point during the descent was there any communication from the cockpit to air traffic controllers or any other signal of an emergency.

When the plane plowed into craggy mountains northeast of Nice, it was traveling with enough speed that it was all but pulverized, killing the 144 passengers and crew of six and leaving behind almost no apparent clues about what caused the crash.

The French aviation authorities have made public very little, officially, about the nature of the information that has been recovered from the audio recording, and it was not clear whether it was partial or complete. France’s Bureau of Investigations and Analyses confirmed only that human voices and other cockpit sounds had been detected and would be subjected to detailed analysis.

Asked about the new evidence revealed in the cockpit recordings, Martine del Bono, a bureau spokeswoman, declined to comment.

Punca kemalangan disiasat. Blocked probes the possible cause of Germanwings flight 4U9525 crash???

Detik detik akhir Flight 4U 9525 Germanwings A320

Whilst the answer to this question won't be fully known until the black box recordings are evaluated, Crash investigators will be focusing on a near disaster involving a Germanwings A320 family aircraft that occurred late last year when a sister plane to the one the crashed yesterday plunged 3000ft out of control.

The incident that was cause by the blocking of  two critical sensors –Angle of Attack Probes- was the subject of urgent advice to airlines across the globe.

In that incident the pilots managed to regain control of the A321 which had 109 passengers aboard.

According to crash investigator the European Air Safety Agency (EASA), the problem related to the Airbus A318, A319, A320 and A321 – including the Airbus A320 involved in yesterday’s tragedy.

EASA warned that if the probes malfunction the flight control computers “order a continuous nose down pitch rate that, in a worst case scenario, cannot be stopped with backward sidestick inputs, even in the full backward position.”

Late last year Jetstar issued a warning to its pilots about the problem. It said: “An occurrence was reported by another operator where an Airbus A321 aircraft encountered a blockage of two Angle Of Attack (AOA) probes during climb, leading to activation of the Alpha Protection (Alpha Prot) while the Mach number increased.

Jetstar issued a four page instruction to pilots on how to overcome the problem

This is the second Airbus A320 to have crashed in just under three months. As one of the world's most popular aircraft utilised by hudreds of airlines around the world the answer to the question "why?" is more important than ever. 

Sadly, yesterday's crash was the third most deadly involving an A320. In 2007 a TAM Linhas Aereas A320 shot off a runway in Brazil, killing 187 people, while 162 people died when anIndonesia AirAsia jet crashed in the Java Sea in December.

One of the plane's black box recorders has been found at the crash site, about 100 km (65 miles) north of the Riviera city of Nice, and will be examined immediately, France's interior minister said. We can expect to have information from the black box within 72 hours. 

The Germanwings A320 carrying 150 people on-board was travelling between Barcelona and Dusseldorf when it crashed in the French Alps near Digne. Flight 4U9525 departed Barcelona, Spain at 10:00am CET bound for Dusseldorf.  The flight reached cruising altitude(38,000 ft) at 10:27. At 10.31, the airplane started losing altitude and dropped off radar at 10.40 CET.  According to Aviation Herald radar data, the plane descended from 38,000ft through to 11,000ft in 8 minutes at an average of 3,375 feet per minute.

The A320 appeared to have levelled off at an altitude of 6,800ft for about one minute while on a north easterly heading.

However mountains rise up to 8,600 feet about one mile north of the last reported position of the plane

French civil aviation authorities said they lost contact with the plane and declared it was in distress at 10:30am (8:30pm AEDT).

"The crew did not send a Mayday. It was air traffic control that decided to declare the plane was in distress because there was no contact with the crew," an official said.

It is believed 67 German and 45 Spanish nationals were on board the flight, including two babies. Also on board were two Australians.

The Germanwings A320, registration D-AIPX, was one of the older A320s flying at 24 years of age and had previously belonged to Lufthansa. 

The airline's managing director,Thomas Winkelmann, said routine maintenance of the aircraft had been carried out the day before, and said the company would work closely with investigators. Lufthansa, one of the world's safest airlines owns and maintains germanwings aircraft  and until now, scored a perfect seven stars on the airlineratings safety rating.  

According to Airbus the aircraft had accumulated approximately 58,300 flight hours in some 46,700 flights. It was powered by CFM 56-5A1 engines.
