At one point, both pilots called out “left alpha vane,” according to the cockpit voice recorder, using another name for the sensor. In a statement, the FAA said: “We continue to work towards a full understanding of all aspects of this accident. As we learn more about the accident and findings become available, we will take appropriate action.”
And there has been no information released publicly about other mechanical problems with the plane in Ethiopia, experts said. Similar problems on Boeing, Airbus and other planes were “triggered by a bad processing algorithm, or even just a momentary data spike,” he said.“I know of only a couple of events directly related to the angle of attack vanes themselves. One of those involved frozen vanes due to water getting into them during some unusual circumstances,” Malmquist said.
Boeing had indicated just last week that its submission to the FAA was imminent, and the specific cause of the delay remains unclear. Some U.S. officials also said they do not want the planes to resume flying until an independent third-party analyzed the changes. “China, the United Kingdom, Australia — all of them are going to be closely scrutinizing and needing to look at the changes and what’s being proposed, and everyone has to agree to it or you are going to have sections of the world where the airplane won’t be allowed to fly,” Malmquist said.
The Ethiopian Airlines flight “had flown to Johannesburg and back without any maintenance issues,” Cox said.
