The cause of the crash of the An-148 passenger aircraft of the Saratov Airlines in the Moscow Region (RF), which killed 71 people, was a fatal pilot error.

This is reported by Telegram-channel Mash.

The investigation team came to the conclusion that the pilots of An-148 operated unreasonably and simply shook the steering wheel. While the commander pushed him from him and led the plane in the peak, the co-pilot tried to level the flight and pulled the steering wheel towards him.

During the situational examination, the experts found out that if the co-pilot had still overpowered his commander, the crash of the plane could be avoided.
