Preliminary data recovered from the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder (FDR) from the fatal crash of Yeti Airlines Flight YT691 last month indicate that the propellers of both engines went into feather on the base leg, according to a statement by Nepal’s Accident Investigation Commission. Speaking to AIN, joint secretary of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Buddhi Sagar Lamichhane said the authority will release a preliminary report in the coming days.

A Nepali-language statement released by the ministry on February 6 said investigators will continue their probe while examining “technical and human aspects” of the January 15 crash of the ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop.
