Ethiopian Airlines crash: 'Pitch up, pitch up!'
Details have begun to emerge of the final moments of an Ethiopian Airlines flight which crashed three weeks ago.
The Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System flight-control feature was also implicated in a fatal crash involving a Lion Air flight in Indonesia last October.Image copyrightAn investigation of the Lion Air flight suggested the anti-stall system malfunctioned, and forced the plane's nose down more than 20 times before it crashed into the sea.
