A second black box from the Germanwings plane has revealed how pilot Andreas Lubitz crashed the plane.
“A first reading shows that the pilot in the cockpit used the automatic pilot to descend the plane towards an altitude of 100 feet (30 metres),” said the French BEA crash investigation office in a statement on Friday.
“Then, several times during the descent, the pilot changed the automatic pilot settings to increase the aircraft’s speed,” added the investigators.
The information is in accord with that from the first black box, which revealed that Lubitz locked out the pilot and set the plane for the mountains.
