Max Air was accused of overwriting its Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) following a serious incident that occurred at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. A report by the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) said the airline made errors in the tech log and the quality control department did not supervise maintenance actions properly. This is not the first time an airline has been accused of overwriting CVR information in an attempt to hinder investigations.
Note that the incident at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport involved a Boeing 737-400 and resulted in a crash landing. The NSIB has recommended that the NCAA enforce regulations and take legal action against non-compliant operators. It also recommended that the regulator should conduct regular safety assessments of Max Air’s ability to manage safety effectively.
