Description

Solaseed Air flight 6J41, a Boeing 737-800, took off from Naha Airport at 08:24 and during climb, the aircraft encountered turbulence injuring one cabin attendant. The aircraft continued to fly and landed at New Ishigaki Airport at 09:04. PROBABLE CAUSES The JTSB concludes that the probable cause of this accident was that when the aircraft passed over the developing convective clouds, occurred the shaking as if to hold the body down, due to which Cabin Crew A fell down in a position like sitting sideways with left leg down, resulting in the injury in the left foot. It is highly probable that the reason why the aircraft passed over the developing convective clouds is because as it was unable to anticipate the possibility that the clouds seen below would rapidly develop, the aircraft passed over.
