Boeing has since issued Expressing_publicly a bulletin to remind Telling pilots of all 737 series and BBJ aircraft of the importance of monitoring airspeed and altitude , advising Convincing against the use Using of autopilot or autothrottle while landing Self_motion in cases of radio altimeter discrepancies .

The Braathens SAFE aircraft was en route from Trondheim Airport , Værnes to Oslo Airport , Fornebu .

Combined Cause_to_amalgamate with downdraft , the aircraft lost Earnings_and_losses sufficient lift Cause_change_of_position_on_a_scale to stay airborne .
