The State Civil Aviation Administration (ASAC) says that the cargo plane AN-32 that belonged to a Sudanese airline crashed as a result of errors committed by the crew, which worked in that composition for the first time.

The plane began to land too early and the crew members could not control the airship and change the altitude. The pilot and copilot committed mistakes when determining and maintaining the route. Also, they incorrectly used and did not use certain devices.

According to the investigation results, the crew was allegedly extenuated and nervous and its member did not effectively cooperate.

The AN-32 plane belonging to KATA Air Transport Co Ltd. crashed on the Chisinau International Airport on April 11. Four Moldovans and four Ukrainians were killed in the crash.
