Preliminary Report Inconclusive on Gearless Landing, Data Recorder Malfunction, and Plane Crash

The report did not provide initial conclusions on the cause of the plane crash’s gearless landing or why the flight data recorders stopped during the last four minutes.

On December 29, the Jeju Air flight from Bangkok overshot the runway at Muan Airport during an emergency belly landing. The crash into an embankment housing navigation equipment killed all but two of the 181 people onboard.

It also did not explain why the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and Flight Data Recorder (FDR) stopped recording just before the pilots declared the emergency.
