SAFETY INVESTIGATION REPORT
MH370 (9M-MRO)
3.1.3 Flight Crew Profile
- 1) General and Specific Human Factors Issues
- a) There is no evidence to suggest any recent behavioural changes for the PIC, FO and cabin crew.
- b) There is no evidence to suggest a pattern of regular over-the-counter medication purchase by the PIC. However, the possibility that such medication may have been purchased by cash cannot be excluded.
- 2) Human Factor Aspects of Air Traffic Control Recordings
- a) The voice transmission for the first 3 sets of recordings were those of the FO before take-off and the 4th and 5th sets were from the PIC after take-off.
- b) The last radio transmission “Good Night Malaysian Three Seven Zero” was spoken by the PIC. However, he did not readback the assigned frequency, which was inconsistent with radio-telephony procedures.
- c) The radio-telephony communications conducted by the PIC and the FO with the Air Traffic Controllers revealed no evidence of anxiety or stress detected in the conversations.
