The CAA displayed the aircraft’s technical logs, which showed that the plane had been used to conduct flights GE231 and GE232 before Flight GE235. No engine problem was entered in the log book.
Well, yes, but that does not mean that the pilot did not bring to the attention of the mechanics faults with the engine. Obviously, something written in the tech log with regards to abnormal engine parameters would instantaneously ground the aircraft, or at least, require further troubleshooting before release for flight.
I would be more interested in the conversation between the pilot and engineer, especially if it was captured by the CVR and took place onboard the aircraft.
I'm not saying this is what caused the crash, or that it even happened. I'm simply pointing out that this report by the CAA does not rule out the possibility of a known malfunction prior to takeoff.
In fact, them coming out and denying it so soon makes me think the opposite.
