They Turned Off the Alert: How Flight 197 Flew Into A Mountain

The chill fact: a functioning aircraft with running engines and a living crew flew straight into a mountain with its terrain warning system disabled - three separate times - and the cockpit voice recorder preserved every word. How did a twin-engine Twin Otter, built for these valleys, end up at 14,500 feet in snowfall with no mechanical failure to blame?
In this episode, we lay out the sequence of departures, weather reports, crew decisions and the moment-by-moment cockpit audio that led to the crash, and we ask how a system designed to prevent controlled flight into terrain ended up turned off before the aircraft ever left the ground.
Person: Pilot in command, age 62
Date: 29 May 2022
Location: Pokhara to Jomsom, Mustang corridor, Nepal
Aircraft: De Havilland Canada Twin Otter, registration 9N-AET
Fatal site elevation: 14,500 feet
- Flight departed Pokhara with 22 people on board (19 passengers, 1 flight attendant, 2 pilots).
- Aircraft maiden flight was 21 April 1979, making the airframe 43 years old at time of crash.
- Jomsom Airport elevation is approximately 8,900 feet and the route duration is about 20 minutes.
- Another aircraft (9N-AKZ) reported adverse weather at waypoints Lete and Tatopani before Flight 197 departed.
- The wreckage was reached nearly 20 hours after the crash, with the flight recorder surviving and preserving cockpit audio.
