National  Aeronautics and Space Agency (Lapan) said Sukhoi Superjet 100 crashed  while climbing Mount Salak on May 9 at 14:33 pm, the mountain is covered  with towering cumulonimbus clouds as high as 37,000 feet (11.1 km)."The simple logic, the pilot will find the safest way out. But to raise the plane to overcome the cloud may be considered too high, from 10,000 feet to fly over 37,000 feet. Therefore,  the choice was to find a way to the right, left, or down, "said Deputy  Science, Assessment, and Aerospace Information Lapan Thomas Djamaluddin,  when contacted from Jakarta, Saturday.Therefore,  he explained, the choice of asking for permission to lower the altitude  of 6,000 feet the aircraft may be based on the consideration that there  are a few gaps which are shown below, but too late to take into account  the risk of more fatal to the mountainous topography.He  described, the data show around the time of the incident MTSAT, clouds  around Mount Salak did look very tightly with cloud coverage of more  than 70 percent.Analysis  of convection indices that can describe cloud height also showed a  significant index of about 30 of Cb clouds (cumulonimbus) towering up to  about 37,000 feet (11.1 kilometers).Satellite data, he added, illustrates that the time of the incident, the plane surrounded by towering clouds. In  the moments before it crashed, informed the plane dropped from a height  of 10,000 feet (3 kilometers) to 6,000 feet (1.8 kilometers), whereas  high-Salak mountain about 2.2 miles.However  this analysis, he said, just based on weather satellite data, just to  give an answer while based on data, not based on unfounded speculation."Comprehensive  analysis of other factors of course we are waiting for the flight  rekamanan analysis by the National Transportation Safety Committee  (NTSC), though of course the weather still not be ruled out," Djamal  said.Meanwhile,  former Head of Technical Unit of Artificial Rain BPPT encountered  Syamsul Bahri said that, while flying in the clouds encircling a pilot  has a high risk for sudden rise or fall suddenly."That's why, every pilot is always to avoid the clouds to avoid this risk by flying far above the cloud coverage. However,  the pilot may have not mastered this rugged terrain, "said the Head of  Planning BPPT experienced fly for weather modification service it. (Reuters / ea )
