Lion 737 Max 8 'un-airworthy' in flight prior to crash

Investigators have called on Lion Air to improve its safety culture, after a probe into the loss of its Boeing 737 Max 8 found that pilots on the flight directly prior to the crash had continued a journey even though the aircraft was in an “un-airworthy condition”. That Oct 28 flight from Denpasar to Jakarta had experienced similar technical issues to the doomed flight a day later. Shortly after take-off, an indicated air speed disagreement message appeared on the primary flight display. The aircraft’s stick shaker was activated and remained active throughout the flight. “This condition is considered as an un-airworthy condition and the flight shall not be continued,” said Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee in its preliminary report of the crash. <br/>
