We started preparing to land at Muan Airport.

While descending altitude, the control tower warns of an approaching bird.

After 21 seconds, the first officer spots a flock of birds and reports that there are a lot of them below.

The Accident Investigation Committee analyzed that the number of ducks approaching the runway at this time reached 50,000.

At 8:58:18, the captain gives up the landing, saying, “I can’t do it,” and announces that he will switch to a go-around, or flight, 2 seconds later.

However, at 8:58:26, 6 seconds after the decision to go around, the audio recording contained the sound of colliding with a bird.

[Kwon Bo-heon/Professor, Department of Aviation Safety Management, Far East University: As the birds collided, a ‘puk-puk-puk’ sound was heard, and the rotating fan of the aircraft was damaged, so vibration and noise were probably produced like this.]

The first officer called out to raise the nose, and at 8:58:35, the captain declared that there was serious damage and began operating according to the emergency manual.

It took 15 seconds to manually change the throttle, which controls engine power, to turn off one engine and pull the switch to cut off the engine fire.

The process of turning off one engine appears to have been carried out according to the manual, with mutual confirmation between the captain and first officer.

[Kwon Bo-heon/Professor, Department of Aviation Safety Management, Far East University: When turning off the engine, the same goes for confirmation from the captain. Please check the applicable engine. The captain also confirms.]
