Around a year ago, numerous people died in the crash of an ATR72 operated by Yeti Airlines. Now the Nepalese government's investigative committee has come to the conclusion that the pilots mistakenly switched off the power, which is said to have been the core cause of an aerodynamic stall.

The ATR72 operated by Yeti Airlines crashed shortly before landing in Pokhara and caused one of Nepal's worst aviation disasters in three decades. Due to a lack of awareness and standard operating procedures, the pilots misapplied the condition levers, resulting in the engine idling and not producing thrust. Despite a flight time of almost 49 seconds, the plane eventually crashed.

The incident is the most devastating plane crash in Nepal since 1992. The state, known for abrupt weather changes due to its mountainous terrain, has experienced several aviation tragedies, leading to safety concerns and an EU airspace ban on Nepalese airlines since 2013.
