[English Translated] The Daily Report – Uncovering the Truth Behind the LATAM Flight Incident in New Zealand: Surprising Revelations

The LATAM flight LA800 incident in New Zealand has raised a series of questions that have not yet been answered, despite the publication of the preliminary report of the General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics of Chile (DGAC). According to the lawyer advising the passengers, Peter Carter, there are several doubts that the document fails to dispel.

The Main Unanswered Questions

As stated by the expert in aeronautical matters, the main questions that still have no answer are:

  • What role did maintenance, components or crew conduct play?
  • How did the seat so violently affect the plane’s cruise?
  • What steps were taken to prevent this from happening?

These key questions are fundamental to discovering the cause of the accident, as lawyer Peter Carter puts it.

Surprising Revelations from the Preliminary Report

The preliminary report states that the incident was due to the fact that the seat on the left side of the cockpit, with the captain in position, began an involuntary forward movement. However, lawyer Carter has revealed some details that could question this version:

  • The photos of the pilot’s and first officer’s seats showed a significant difference in the resting position of the switch covers. While the cover on the back of the first officer’s seat is flush with the back of the seat, the cover on the pilot’s seat switch is not.

According to Carter, if this control cover is not completely closed, it opens the possibility that it can be activated if it is inadvertently pressed.

These revelations raise new doubts about the cause of the incident and the possible responsibility of the aircraft’s components or maintenance.

Constant Monitoring of the Investigation

Attorney Peter Carter and his law firm are closely monitoring the progress of the Chilean Aeronautical Authority’s investigation. In addition, they are advising clients in Chile, Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, the United States and Colombia individually.

Conclusion

The preliminary report on the LATAM flight LA800 incident in New Zealand has left more questions than answers. Attorney Peter Carter’s revelations call into question the official version and open up new lines of inquiry. It is crucial that a thorough investigation continues to clarify the real causes of this event and ensure the safety of passengers in the future.
