Airblue’ (Islamabad) flight ED 202 crash of July 28, 2010 has been investigated again by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Pakistan and the blame has clearly been placed on the captain in the second report. The Airbus A321 crash killed all 152 passengers and crew members on board. The first investigation report was rejected by the court.

The CAA concluded the  “Airblue crash has been finalized as a case of Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT), in which aircrew failed to display superior judgment and professional skills in a self-created unsafe environment. In their pursuit to land in inclement weather, they committed serious violations of procedures and breaches of flying discipline, which put the aircraft in an unsafe condition over dangerous terrain at low altitude.” according to this report by DawnNews.

The CAA also concluded the captain was ignoring the requests of ATC and was condescending towards the first officer.
