JAKARTA -- A computer fault and subsequent crew actions were among the factors that led to the crash of an AirAsia flight that killed all 162 people on board last year, Indonesia's transport safety committee said Tuesday.
A malfunction in one of the computers on the plane caused the autopilot to disengage, the committee said in the final report after a year-long investigation.
The repeated problems with the system led to the pilots disengaging the autopilot in stormy weather in a bid to fix the situation, and then losing control of the Airbus A320-200, the National Transportation Safety Committee said.
