Vorläufiger Bericht des niederländischen Sicherheitsrats über den Absturz der Malaysia-Airlines-Maschine 777-200 über der Ostukraine, 9.9.2014
Summary of Findings
Crew
According to the information received from Malaysia Airlines the crew was properly lincensed and had valid medical certificates to conduct the flight.
Aircraft
According to the documents, the aircraft was in an airworthy condition at departure from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, there were no known technical malfunctions.
CVR/FDR
No evidence or indications of manipulation of the recorders were found.
No aural alerts or warnings of aircraft system malfunctions were heard on the Cockpit Voice Recorder. The communication between the flight crew members gave no indication of any malfunction or emergency prior to the occurrence.
The engine parameters were consistent with normal operation during the flight. No engine or aircraft system warnings or cautions were detected.
No technical malfunctions or warnings in relation to the event flight were found on Flight Data Recorder data.
Both recordings ended at 13.20:03.
ATC/Airspace
At the time of the occurrence, flight MH17 was flying at FL330 in unrestricted airspace of the Dnipropetrovs’k (UKDV) FIR in the eastern part of the Ukraine, the aircraft flew on a constant heading, speed and altitude when the Flight Data Recording ended. UkSATSE had issued NOTAMs that restricted access to the airspace below FL320.
The last radio transmission made by the crew began at 13.19:56 hrs and ended at 13.19:59 hrs.
The last radio transmissions made by Dnipropetrovs’k air traffic control centre to flight MH17 began at 13.20:00 hrs and ended at 13.22:02 hrs. The crew did not respond to these transmissions.
No distress messages were received by the ATC.
According to radar data three commercial aircraft were in the same Control Area as flight MH17 at the time of the occurrence. All were under control of Dnipro Radar. At 13.20 hrs the distance between the closest aircraft and MH17 was approximately 30 km.
Damage
Damage observed on the forward fuselage and cockpit section of the aircraft appears to indicate that there were impacts from a large number of high-energy objects from outside the aircraft.
The pattern of damage observed in the forward fuselage and cockpit section of the aircraft was not consistent with the damage that would be expected from any known failure mode of the aircraft, its engines or systems.
The fact that there were many pieces of aircraft structure distributed over a large area, indicated that the aircraft broke up in the air.
Based on the preliminary findings to date, no indications of any technical or operational issues were found with the aircraft or crew prior to the ending of the CVR and FDR recording at 13.20:03 hrs.
The damage observed in the forward section of the aircraft appears to indicate that the aircraft was penetrated by a large number of high-energy objects from outside the aircraft. It is likely that this damage resulted in a loss of structural integrity of the aircraft, leading to an in-flight break up.
