Plane headed to Sardinia and crashed in the Milanese area: in the black box the data is still in April

The data of the black box of the plane bound for Olbia and crashed in San Donato Milanese on 3 October last, are still in April.

This is what emerges from the first investigations into the memory of the Pilatus, the private plane that a month and a half ago for reasons still to be clarified crashed into an empty building causing the death of the 8 people on board: the Romanian pilot and tycoon Dan Petrescu , his 65-year-old wife and his 30-year-old son as well as a couple of friends with a young son and mother-in-law.

For that type of aircraft, the flight recorder is not mandatory: it is a device that must be activated, following certain procedures, and constantly maintained. But the technical investigations of the laboratories of the National Agency for Flight Safety have not yet been completed.

If the certainty should arrive that in memory there are no data relating to that tragic October 3, at that point the investigation will have to move through hypotheses on what could have happened, with the analysis of the videos that recorded the fall, of the dialogues. between the pilot and the Linate radar room, of the remaining pieces of the aircraft, including part of the engine, and with the forensic investigations on the remains of the victims and in particular of the pilot.

Among the hypotheses, human error, that is, a wrong or risky maneuver during a change of course, or an illness of the pilot. Nor can problems or failures of the Pilatus be ruled out. The pilot, however, did not issue any specific alarms to the radar room, which he had asked for the route to return to the airport shortly after take-off.
