On ๐๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ญ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ต๐ญ, ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ถ๐ฟ ๐๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฏ, a Boeing 737-300 (Reg. N388US) flying from Syracuse to San Francisco via Washington Columbus and Los Angeles, collided with ๐ฆ๐ธ๐๐ช๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ต, a Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner (Reg. N683AV) flying from Los Angeles to Palmdale, while landing on runway 24L at Los Angeles International Airport.
Flight 1493 left Columbus at 13:17. The 737 entered LAX airspace around 17:57 and was cleared for a CIVET Two Profile Descent and ILS runway 24R approach. At 17:59 this was changed to a runway 24L approach clearance. At about the same time Flight 5569 taxied out to runway 24L. At 18:03 the crew were advised to "taxi up to and hold short of 24L" because of other traffic. At 18:04:49 the flight was cleared to taxi into position and hold.
Immediately thereafter the controller became preoccupied with instructing WingsWest Flight 5006 who had unintentionally departed the tower frequency. At 18:07 Flight 1493 touched down. Simultaneous to the nosegear touchdown, the 737 collided with the Metro. Both planes caught fire and slid to the left into an unoccupied fire station.
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:
"The failure of the Los Angeles Air Traffic Facility Management to implement procedures that provided redundancy comparable to the requirements contained in the National Operational Position Standards and the failure of the FAA ATS to provide adequate policy direction and oversight to its ATC facility managers. These failures created an environment in the Los Angeles ATC tower that ultimately led to the failure of the Local Controller 2 (LC2) to maintain awareness of the traffic situation, culminating in the inappropriate clearances and the subsequent collision of the USAir and SkyWest aircraft. Contributing to the cause pf the accident was the failure of the FAA to provide effective quality assurance pf the ATC system."

On ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฒ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ, a KLM Douglas DC-3 (Reg. PH-TCR) was operating a scheduled international passenger flight from Amsterdam to Stockholm with an intermediate stop in Copenhagen.
The first leg of the flight was uneventful. The plane took off from Copenhagen and was seen to enter a steep climb, pitching up to 45ยฐ. The plane then stalled at a height of about 100 meters and fell off to the left. It impacted the ground and burst into flames. All 22 occupants were killed. Among the passengers were Swedish Prince Gustaf Adolf and American singer and actress Grace Moore.
An investigation revealed that a 19-year old airport employee had been engaged in preparing the plane for departure. He had started his job 19 days prior to the accident on January 7 and did not have any prior experience. He had received incomplete instructions. He did remove the rudder lock, but failed to remove the elevator locking pins.
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:
It was determined that the loss of control during initial climb was caused by stabilizers blocked by a wooded lock pin. During the stopover in Copenhagen-Kastrup, a ground technician decided to put a wooded lock pin in the rudder and the stabilizer as well to avoid unnecessary movements that could cause damages as there were moderate winds in Copenhagen at that time. Before takeoff, one technician removed the wooded lock pin on the rudder but did remove the one on the stabilizer as this wooded lock pin was put by another ground technician and he was not aware of this. Furthermore, none of the crew member proceeded to a walk around check before departure and the pilots failed to check the stabilizers prior to takeoff.")
