A investigation by the last December Jeju air plane crash found that the pilot of the aircraft accidentally shut down the wrong engine, stated by the local media.
The release of the report prescribed for the weekend has been delayed after a hot protests from the families of the victims.
Families were earlier informed on the findings, and the investigators were accused of pinning the pilot, ignoring other contribution factors.
Two out of 181 out of 181 people died in Jeju air plane, when the aircraft crashed into an obstacle and burst into flames while landing at the Mun International Airport – the most deadly aircraft accident on South Korean soil.
On the morning of 29 December, the pilots of Jeju Air Flight 2216 reported a bird strike and the day was called by the day after the aircraft went to the runway.
The pilots then tried to get off the opposite direction. The video footage showed the aircraft making a stomach landing – without its landing gear – on the turmack – skiding in a solid barrier.
Two engines of the aircraft were sent to France in March for analysis. Recent findings from South Korea’s Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board found that the pilot had closed the left engine – there was no defect instead of the correct engine, which was more severely damaged by the bird’s strike.
However, the families of the victims said that the report did not mention a concrete barrier at the end of the runway, which they argued that the accident made it so devastating.
“The bereaved family wants a fair and transparent investigation into the accident,” he said in a statement, urged the investigators to operate a press briefing “only after a complete and careful examination was completed”.
In a statement on Sunday, the Union of Jeju Air Pilots criticized recent conclusions for focusing on pilots’ misunderstandings, reducing other contributors.
A formula with knowledge of the investigation, however, told Reuters that investigators would not change their findings as they had “clear proof and backup data”.
Following the accident, the South Korea Transport Ministry said in January that it would remove solid obstacles at seven airports.
In May, the families of the victims filed a criminal complaint against Jeju Air CEO Kim E-Bey, citing professional negligence. 24 people are being investigated by the police on his role in Mr. Kim accident.
