๐๐๐ ๐๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ด๐ฎ๐ฏ was a scheduled international passenger flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur with intermediate stops in Munich, Rome, Cairo and Karachi. The flight was being operated by a Lockheed L-188 Electra (Reg. PH-LLM) on ๐๐๐ป๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ฎ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ฒ๐ญ.
The flight was uneventful until the approach to Cairo. The plane contacted Cairo Approach when about 35 NM out and was cleared to continue its descent to 2,000 feet to the radio beacon near the airport. At 04:09 local time the pilot reported that the plane had passed the range beacon at 2,000 feet. The plane was then cleared for the approach procedure. Not until quite close to the airport and nearly over it did the captain see the airport lighting, and changed his heading about 40ยฐ to the left to make the right-hand circuit. The plane then continued to fly horizontally following the new heading. The co-pilot was requested to "keep the runway in sight".
Applying normal procedure, the plane would enter the right-hand turn for the final approach about 30 seconds after passing the runway threshold. In the meantime, at 04:10 the co-pilot reported to the Cairo Tower that the plane was downwind. The tower gave the surface wind as 330ยฐ/8 knots and instructed the flight to report on final. Shortly thereafter the captain commenced the right-hand turn and before he sighted the runway, gave order for the lowering of the landing gear and reduced the engine power to 100 - 200 hp per engine. The plane then struck the ground at 04:11 and caught fire.
