The pilot who flew the Russia-made Sukhoi Super Jet 100 violated height clearance requirements set for airplanes flying near obstacles like buildings, towers or mountains, a pilot says.
“I can’t help but wonder myself, why did the pilot ask to descend to 6,000 feet? That’s a violation of the minimum obstacle clearance altitude [MOCA]. In that location, the minimum clearance is around 11,000 feet,” pilot Ronny Rosnadi, who has flown over 33,000 hours, said Thursday as quoted by kompas.com. “I strongly believe the accident was caused by human error.”
