After taking the engine to France and conducting a detailed investigation, the accident investigation committee tentatively concluded that there was no problem with the engine product. However, the IDG, which is connected to the engine and generates power, also stopped working, and the accident investigation committee believes that the pilot may have turned off the engine by mistake. An official from the accident investigation committee explained, "The pilot should have turned off the right engine, which was severely damaged by the bird strike, but he turned off the left engine, which was spinning, and so the black box and power went out." As a result, the investigation committee explained that both engines lost power and the landing gear, which corresponds to the wheels, did not come down. The investigation committee's press briefing was disrupted as the bereaved families strongly protested, saying that they could not believe the investigation results.
