The report is out. As per "The Times Of India"The ill-fated flight from Dubai to Mangalore Air India Express Boeing 737-800 aircraft which crashed in Mangalore killed 158 people included the pilot,Capt Zlatko Glusica
Select data from the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) — revealed in the Court of Inquiry on Wednesday that the pilot's sound judgment was replaced with poor decision-making due to an urgency to complete a landing.
The facts that emerged were, one the aircraft wasn't in stable approach condition during its descent. Despite several warnings from his co-pilot, Capt Glusica ignored standard operating procedures.
Second, after the aircraft touched down and thrust reversers were deployed, the commander opted for a go-around. This was in complete violation of the rule. Capt Glusica attempted to take-off when only 800 feet of the 8,038-ft-long runway was left. The last sentence uttered in the cockpit was of Capt H S Ahluwalia's: "We don't have runway left."
The aircraft then zoomed ahead, hit a localiser, failed to climb and crashed into the gorge. Also, the flight had violated several laid-down limits — for criteria like airspeed and rate of descent — deemed critical for a safe approach.
Not only that the report also says that
"Capt Glusica took a nap for an hour and forty minutes soon after the flight took off from Dubai as CVR recorded noises of snoring, heavy breathing and no words from the commander. It is a normal practice in almost all cockpits for one of the pilots to take "controlled rest" while the other monitors the flight."
All said and done it is so easy to put the blame on dead and expat captain who unfortunately cannot defend himself.
Airport authorities perhaps forgot to consider the short length of Runway, weather conditions, Long hours of operation & forcing the pilots to be on air more than the recommended timings. Anyway he can not come back to defend himself. May his soul rest in peace.
The blame game will unfortunately go on.
