U.A.E. investigators will look at the actions of the crew of an Emirates jet involved in a crash landing a year ago after an interim report found no problems with the aircraft systems or engines.

A probe into the Aug. 3 crash, which injured 30 of the 300 people on board and led to the death of a firefighter on the ground, showed no abnormalities in the Boeing Co. 777-300’s systems after testing by the manufacturer and downloaded data analysis, the United Arab Emirates General Civil Aviation Authority said Sunday on its website.
