This is the CVR transcript :
4.1.1 The last 1 minute and 6 seconds of the CVR were analyzed and combined with the
information obtained from the FDR. A related FDR Graph is included as Attachment A.
The First Officer was the pilot flying (PF) with the Captain as pilot not flying (PNF).
From the FDR data it is evident that the right-hand engine failed after 70 knots but prior
to V1 as indicated by the right hand engine torque which started spooling down. This
occurred as the Tower advised the aircraft of a smoke trail behind the aircraft. All
hydraulic and oil pressures were still normal at this stage.
During rotation at 05:57:01Z, an unknown aircraft transmitted the words “Severe smoke”.
A warning sound [ping] is then heard and the First Officer (FO) stated “right oil
contamination”. The FDR data indicated that the aircraft was at a pressure altitude of
approximately 100 feet and at an indicated airspeed of 140 knots.
The Captain stated at 05:57:10Z that “we have lost an engine” and then “we are losing
an engine”. The FO responded at 05:57:14Z that “I have it, I have it” – “Keeping runway
track six thousand feet”- “Flap is zero””and confirms “we have lost an engine”. The FDR
now indicated a pressure altitude of approximately 350 feet with an indicated airspeed of
140 knots, the right-hand and left hand engine rpm was at 100%. The left hand engine
torque was still at approximately 100% with the right hand engine torque reducing
rapidly. The hydraulic and oil pressures were normal.
At 05:57:25Z the Captain notified the Tower “Okay we’ve lost an engine”. The
associated pressure altitude was approximately 480 feet with an indicated airspeed of
120 knots, The right-hand and left-hand engine rpm was at 100% with the left-hand
engine torque at 100% and hydraulic and oil pressure normal. The FO comments “We’re
not maintaining
At 05:57:28Z three audible warning sounds [pings] are heard and the Master Warning
switch is activated. The right-hand engine beta goes to zero. The left-hand engine torque
is at 100%. The pressure altitude is at approximately 490 feet and indicated airspeed
120 knots. An unidentified transmission advises” Your gear is still down”.
At 05:57:30Z the FO stated “gear up”, followed by the Captain saying “ok gear up”.
However, the left engine now spools down from 100% to zero within 7 seconds. The
pressure altitude was approximately 450 feet with an indicated airspeed of 125 knots.
12
At 05:57:33 three audible warning sounds [pings] are heard together with stick shaker
activation. The indicated airspeed reduces to approximately 117 knots with the angle of
attack of 14 degrees. A low hydraulic pressure is as well as low oil pressure recording is
activated on the right-hand engine.
A clicking sound like a switch or handle moving is then heard on the area microphone
with an associated sound of an engine running down.
The FO stated “wait, wait pitch forward Allister” with the pressure altitude at
approximately 450 feet and indicated airspeed of 130 knots. The pitch attitude was 7.5
degrees nose up.
A GPWS warning of “Don’t sink” was followed immediately by three pings. At 05:57:39Z
the stick shaker can be heard again followed by three audible warning sounds [pings].
The associated pressure altitude was approximately 350 feet with an indicated airspeed
of 110 knots. The pitch attitude is -2.5 degrees nose down angle of attack 14 degrees
and flap setting zero.
The FO comments “fly it out of here” followed by the GPWS stating “Too low”. Another
three audible warning sounds [pings] are heard together with a stick shaker sound in the
background and the FO states “gear is up flaps is***” whereby the Captain confirms
“gear is up flaps***”. The FDR now indicated a pressure altitude of approximately 150
feet and an indicated airspeed of 70 knots. The pitch attitude is 2.5 degrees nose up with
a flap setting of zero and a further three audible warning sounds [pings] are heard.
At 05:57:52 the CVR recording stops.
