UAE: Emirates crew failed to monitor settings in 2016 crash, probe finds
(Reuters) - Investigators on Thursday said pilots failed to monitor engine settings ahead of the crash of an Emirates jet at Dubai airport more than three years ago, in which all 300 passengers and crew safely evacuated but a firefighter died.
The plane caught fire after skidding along the airport runway on its fuselage while trying to abort a landing.
Pilots on the flight from India in August 2016 did not notice that the Boeing 777-300’s engine thrust settings remained too low and also missed out part of a cockpit procedure, investigators said.
