Russia Points to Pilot Error in Flydubai Boeing Crash

Local Editor

Russian aviation investigators said Friday that the pilots of a flydubai jet that crashed and killed 62 last month put the plane into a nose-dive and were unable to pull out of it.

The Boeing 737 flying from Dubai crashed short of the runway in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don in the early hours of March 19 after it aborted a landing in poor weather.

The 55 passengers, most of them Russians, and seven crew members were all killed.
