(EN » PT) Air India plane crash: 'Sleepy' pilot blamed (BBC News)

A dozing pilot was to blame for a plane crash in May in southern India which killed 158 people, an official investigation has reportedly found.

According to an advance copy of the report seen by media, the Air India Express plane approached Mangalore at the wrong height and angle.

The Serbian pilot, Zlatko Glusica, was "disorientated" having been asleep for much of the three-hour flight.

There was no immediate comment on the report from the airline.

Glusica was found to have been affected by "sleep inertia" after his nap.

Co-pilot H S Ahluwalia is heard repeatedly warning the Serb to abort landing and try again.
