日 F35A 전투기 추락 원인, 조종사 '비행착각' 잠정 결론
Japan says human error may have been to blame for a deadly F-35A fighter jet crash two months ago, rather than technical problems.
Tokyo's military said earlier today that the 41-year-old pilot had suffered from "spatial disorientation" or vertigo.
The report stated the pilot didn't signal any problems and didn't attempt an emergency evacuation.
Tokyo says it will resume flights of the steath jet after implementing vertigo training.
