The Boeing 737-800 was flying from Thailand to Muan in South Korea’s southwest on December 29 carrying 181 passengers and crew when it belly-landed at Muan airport and exploded in a fireball after slamming into a concrete barrier.
At the moment of the accident, the pilot warned of a bird strike before pulling out of a first landing attempt. The plane crashed on its second attempt when the landing gear did not emerge.
The new plans were announced as part of a nationwide special safety inspection of airports -- along with a comprehensive survey of facilities that particularly attract birds.
Mobile sonic devices will also be implemented mainly to deal with “medium and large sized birds”.
The radar will detect the size of the bird and its movement paths, and this information will be relayed to air traffic controllers who, in turn, will communicate with the pilot.
“The top priority is to establish comprehensive reform measures across aviation safety to prevent the recurrence of aircraft accidents,“ said deputy minister for civil aviation Joo Jong-wan.
The investigation of the crash was further clouded when the transport ministry said the black boxes holding the flight data and cockpit voice recorders for the crashed flight stopped recording four minutes before the disaster.
