Quote: ‘Black boxes’ fail in Sharjah crash Yasin Kakande http://www.thenational.ae/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20...rchID=73381157709330 Last Updated: February 07. 2010 10:50PM UAE / February 7. 2010 6:50PM GMT SHARJAH // The mystery of why a Sudan Airways plane crashed after takeoff from Sharjah’s airport in October, killing all six crew aboard, may never be solved because the two flight data recorders found in the wreckage were not working, officials said yesterday. Without information from the so-called “black boxes”, the investigators may not be able to identify causes of the crash, a senior official from the investigation committee said. The official had no information on why the black boxes – a voice recorder and a data recorder - were not operating. He said the investigation was still ongoing, however, and a full report would be published. He did not indicate when the report would be ready. “Plane crash investigations are usually long,” he said. “The process includes data collection. Then you make analysis and conclusions. Lastly, you make recommendations to prevent a recurrence of an accident on similar causes.” The official said any issues regarding compensation to the families of the six victims, all Sudanese nationals, would be discussed after the report was released. Abdul Wahab al Roumi, the director general of the Sharjah Civil Aviation Authority, said the decision of the federal General Civil Aviation Authority to ban the Khartoum-based cargo operator Azza Transport from flying in UAE airspace will stand until after the investigation. “The authority attaches great importance to the aviation safety of this country,” he said. “We have applied similar procedures to past crashes.” The Boeing 707 that crashed was leased by Sudan Airways from Azza Transport. The aircraft was unable to gain altitude as it banked to the right after leaving the airport and had nearly flipped on its back before striking the ground and bursting into flames 1.2km from the airport, not far from a residential area. Early speculation on the cause of the crash centred on engine failure, or an engine falling off the 40-year-old plane, but without information from the data recorders it may always be guesswork.

Quote: Customer Rating : 1/5 Business class on their A300 from Doha, and really glad to get off this flight. Aircraft very scruffy inside, and needed some real attention and cleaning. Seats were broken in many areas, and toilets were unusabe - FAs did not seem bothered by any of this. Service was all over in a short time, and FAs then disappeared to galley. Not an airline I would wish on my worst enemy, and despite all they say in their magazine about change, this airline seems to be a lot worse than when I last flew them (that was in 1991 though!). Avoid at all costs.
