๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฒ๐ฒ was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from New Orleans to New York, operated by a Boeing 727-200 (Reg. N8845E) on ๐๐๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฐ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ณ๐ฑ.
The plane departed New Orleans atbout 13:19. At 15:35, the flight was told to contact the JFK approach controllerย for instructions, and the controller sequenced it into the approach pattern for runway 22L.ย At 15:52, the approach controller warned all incoming planes that the airport was experiencing "very light rain showers and haze" and zero visibility, and that all approaching planes would need to land using IFR. At 15:59, the controller warned all planes of "a severe wind shift" on final approach, and advised that more information would be reported shortly. At 16:02, the crew of Flight 66 was told to contact the JFK tower controller for landing clearance.
At 16:05, on final approach to Runway 22L, the plane entered a microburst. At 16:05:06, when the plane was at 150 feet, the captain said, "runway in sight." The first officer then said, "I got it." The captain replied, "got it?" and a second later, at 16:05:10, an unintelligible exclamation was recorded, and the first officer commanded, "Takeoff thrust." The plane then began striking the approach lights approximately 2,400 feet from the threshold of the runway. The plane then rolled into a steep left bank, well in excess of 90ยฐ, and continued to strike the approach lights until it burst into flames and scattered wreckage along Rockaway Boulevard.
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:
"The aircraft's encounter with adverse winds associated with a very strong thunderstorm located astride the ILS localizer course, which resulted in high descent rate into the non-frangible approach light towers. The flight crew's delayed recognition and correction of the high descent rate were probably associated with their reliance upon visual cues rather than on flight instrument reference. However, the adverse winds might have been too severe for a successful approach and landing even had they relied upon and responded rapidly to the indications of the flight instruments. Contributing to the accident was the continued use of runway 22L when it should have become evident to both air traffic control personnel and the flight crew that a severe weather hazard existed along the approach path."
