Preliminary report

"A preliminary report, still without data from the black boxes, introduced by the accident investigation commission points out:

- the flight crew misjudged weather
- the airline assigned unqualified/non-licensed crew to operate the Boeing 727-100
- tower controllers were not licensed
- tower controllers provided erroneous/false weather data
- the airport authority lacked security plans
The commission also raises doubt about the validity of the registration (9Q-COP) of the aircraft by the Civil Aviation Authority.
