The investigation into the Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737-500 accident is focused on
the aircraft's autothrottle. A few days before the crash, there were problems
with this system, which controls the engine power of an aircraft. It is still
unclear whether this problem caused the crash.
 
Researcher Nurcayho Utomo of the Indonesian Transport Security Council KNKT
says to Reuters that he does not yet know the nature of the problem. The
problem was reported in the aircraft maintenance log a few days before the
crash.
 
Utomo hopes that the Cockpit Voice Recorder recordings can provide clarity
about the cause of the crash, which killed all 62 on January 9. So far only
the Flight Data Recorder has been fished out of the sea.
