C9-CAA) departed Mbala for a flight back to Maputo. The flight carried Mozambique president Samora Machel who had attended a meeting of African leaders in Zambia. While approaching Maputo, an inadvertent selection of the MATSAPA VOR frequency caused the crew to execute a premature 37ยฐ turn. Although the pilot queried the turn, no effort was made to verify it by using the available navigational aids. The plane descended below the 3,000 feet limit in spite of not having visual contact with Maputo. The crew erroneously assumed a power failure at Maputo. A 32-second GPWS warning was ignored and the plane collided with the ground at 2,187 feet, bounced and crashed into an uphill slope. The plane broke up, slid across the South African/Eswatini border and caught fire. Machel, along with 33 other occupants did not survive the accident.๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The cause of the accident was that the flight crew failed to follow procedural requirements for an instrument let-down approach , but continued to descend under visual flight rules in darkness and some cloud, i.e. without having visual contact with the ground, below minimum safe altitude, and in addition the ignored GPWS alarm."

The flight made a routine take-off from runway 28. A turn to the left was made as though to perform the procedural tear drop turn prescribed by the Airports Manual for climb-out on instruments. Instead of completing the procedural turn, the pilot continued on a straight course for about two minutes in a southwesterly direction. Then, on making a right turn the plane crashed on the mountain peak.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The aircraft did not climb out in accordance with previously approved procedure - the provisions of which are set out in the Airports Manual."

The flight was being operated by a Lockheed L-1649 Starliner (Reg. N7313C) on ๐๐๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฒ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ฑ๐ต.The plane departed Rome at 15:00 and reached Milan at 16:36 after a normal flight. The plane departed Malpensa Airport at 17:20 in weather conditions with scattered thunderstorms. The flight crew received clearance to the Saronno NDB, where it has to fly a climbing circuit to at least 10,000 feet. It then has to proceed to the Biella NDB, which has to be reached at least 18,500 feet before crossing the Alpine mountains. At 17:26 the flight reported climbing through 6,000 feet in the Saronno circuit. 6 minutes later they report having reached 10,000 feet and continuing to Biella, which they estimate to reach at 17:45. About 17:35 the plane suffered a structural failure occurred, initiated by a wing separation. The plane broke up and crashed, with debris scattered over an area of about 3 square kilometers.๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐:"The breaking-up in flight was due to the explosion of the fuel vapours contained in tank No.7, followed immediately by either an explosion of pressure or a further explosion in tank no.6. In the absence of other significant concrete evidence, taking into account the stormy weather conditions, with frequent electric discharges, existing in the area at the time of the crash, it may be assumed that the explosion of the fuel vapours contained in tank No.7 was set off, through the outlet pipes, by igniting of the gasoline vapours issuing from these pipes as a consequence of static electricity discharges (streamer corona) which developed on the vent outlets."

The flight was operated by a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser (Reg. N90943) on ๐ข๐ฐ๐๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ญ๐ฒ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ฑ๐ฒ.The plane departed Honolulu at 20:26 HST for the last leg of the flight to San Francisco. At 01:19, immediately after reaching FL210, the no. 1 engine oversped. Reduction of airspeed didn't help and the prop could not be feathered, so the engine was cut. As the plane was losing altitude a ditching seemed imminent. US Coast Guard weather station 'November' was contacted at 01:22 about the possible ditching. Climb power was then applied to the remaining engines. The no. 4 engine however, was only developing partial power at full throttle. Remaining fuel was insufficient however to reach San Francisco or fly back to Honolulu. The crew decided to orbit the cutter 'November' and wait for daylight to carry out the ditching. Meanwhile electric water lights were laid by the cutter to illuminate a track for the plane. At 02:45 the no. 4 engine backfired and failed. The prop was feathered. At 05:40 the captain contacted the cutter again about the intended ditching time and descended to 900 feet. The ditching was carried out at 06:15. All 31 assengers and crew safely evacuated the plane, boarded liferafts, and were completely clear of the plane at 06:32. The plane sank at 06:35.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was an initial mechanical failure which precluded feathering the No. 1 propeller and a subsequent mechanical failure which resulted in a complete loss of power from the No. 4 engine, the effects of which necessitated a ditching."

EC-AIN) on ๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฑ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฑ.At 20:53 the plane was cleared for approach to runway 30 at the Santa Cruz de Tenerife/Los Rodeos Airport. At this time it was informed by the approach controller that the airport was below meteorological minima. This was acknowledged by the flight. The pilot, who saw the beginning of runway 30 clearly but not the rest of it, decided to make a very low run after which he re-applied power for a go-around at 21:06. He circled the aerodrome, apparently intending to land, and at 21:15 reported on final. At 21:17 he reported to the tower: "401 pulling up to go around", and this was the last communication received from the plane. It was subsequently found that, when starting its go-around, the plane struck a scraper and tractor located 50 meters from the runway edge, with one leg of the undercarriage and the lower aft part of the fuselage. It left various debris scattered about and finally crashed on the western edge of the diversion canal of the Rodeo gorge. From there, it slid about 100 meters across private farmland and finally burst into flames. The accident occurred at 21:17.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The pilot-in-command should have proceeded in view of the adverse weather conditions prevailing at the airport, which he should have appreciated during his first fly-past. His partial view of the airport and the glow of lights must have induced him to make a new attempt with the consequences described above."

YV-C-AMS) on ๐๐๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฌ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ฑ๐ฒ.The plane departed Idlewild Airport at 23:06 local time on June 19 and proceeded to the south. 1 hour and 20 minutes after takeoff the pilot reported that propeller No. 2 was running wild and that he was returning to Idlewild. At 00:50 the plane was declared in a state of emergency and a U.S. Coast Guard aircraft was sent to act as escort. At 01:21 the latter sighted AMS and observed its altitude as 8,700 feet and speed as 145 knots. AMS was authorized to dump fuel at 01:29. The plane acknowledged receipt of the instruction and stated that New York was in sight, whereupon the radio failed and a few seconds later the plane burst into flames and made a sharp turn to the right. On completion of the turn, a quivering, incandescent mass broke off from the port side, whereupon the plane began a smooth climb with a tendency to veer to the left; at this point 3 more incandescent and quivering masses broke loose. On reaching the top of its climb, the plane broke up while in a vertical position, turned into a fireball and crashed into the sea at 01:32. Fuel spread over the distress area, causing a fire which lasted several hours. There were no survivors among the 74 occupants.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"Although the accident was observed by witnesses, its cause cannot be determined with absolute certainty. However, it would be logical to assume that the vibration which resulted from the loss of control of propeller no.2 caused one of the inside wing attachments to loosen or break at some point between the fuel tank and the dump chute at the symmetrical point of vibration (behind engine no.3)."

N730JP) was operating a round trip from Miami to Santa Cruz. It had delivered livestock to Santa Cruz and was departing back to Miami.The take-off run was seen to be longer than usual and the aircraft crossed end of runway 32 at a height of about 6 meters. It struck trees, poles and the roofs of houses while rolling to the left and finally struck the ground inverted some 560 m beyond the runway. The plane impacted on a football pitch, bursting into flames. Analysis of the accident was hampered by unserviceable flight recorders. The FDR was not in operation at the time of the accident; when the cassette was opened the entire tape was found to be wound round the receiving reel. The three radio channels of the CVR contained some information but the cockpit area microphone channel was inoperative and the recording did not contain useful information. The engine-pressure ratio (EPR) gauges showed 2.32, corresponding to the setting for a take-off with dry thrust. On Boeing 707-100s equipped with Pratt & Whitney JT3C engines, de-mineralized water could be injected during takeoff to increase thrust. It was found that the water valves were open at the time of impact but it was not determined with certainty whether the crew attempted to perform a dry take-off but with reserve water, or whether the water was used with EPRs limited to 2.32 with the possibility of increasing the thrust when and as necessary.

The flight was being operated by a Vickers Viscount (Reg. F-BGNV) on ๐๐๐ด๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐ฎ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฏ.The flight took off from Lille at 11:51 GMT, on an IFR flight plan. Estimated flying time between Lille and Lyon was 1 hour 21 min., cruising at FL150. Until 13:00, when it began its descent, the flight had been normal; at 13:09:50, it reported to Marseilles Control that it was above Tramoyes at FL40, and was cleared to Lyon Approach, which was contacted at approximately 13:10. The flight was then in position for a direct approach to runway 17. At this point Lyon Control having a Caravelle ready to take off asked the Viscount to hold momentarily over Tramoyes at FL30. After having first agreed, the flight reported that it was in a severe storm and requested permission to descend below FL25, at 13:13. Lyon then cleared the flight for a straight-in approach to runway 17. This was acknowledged by the Viscount. Subsequent calls from Lyon Control were not replied. The flight was seen by witnesses in the heart of a storm flying very low in an easterly direction around 13:20. At 1326 the Viscount was not visible on Satolas Control radar. It was subsequently found that the plane had hit trees, the roof of a farmhouse and a telephone pole before crashing into a field, 15 km from Lyon/Bron airport, at an altitude of 300 meters (100 meters higher than the airport) at approximately 13:19. 4 occupants, among them a crew member, were seriously injured while 12 other occupants were killed. A few hours later, 3 of the survivors died from their injuries and a little girl was the only survivor. In the farmhouse, a boy was seriously injured while a second one was killed.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The Board considered that the aircraft would probably have landed safely if it had been able to carry through the approach it had initiated; that the accident resulted from exceptionally bad weather conditions in the area where the aircraft was holding at the request of Lyon Approach. The Board did not rule out the possibility of a flash of lightning dazzling the crew and causing temporary blindness or appreciably incapacitating both crew members."
1963 Indian Airlines Vickers Viscount (VT-DIO) Crash Aftermath Footage Air Crash Daily 2024-10-11 | ICAO Final Report:baaa-acro.com/sites/default/files/2017-12/VT-DIO.pdfPhotos Archive:https://x.com/aircrashdaily/status/1836423836100854122?s=19On September 10, 1963, an Indian Airlines Vickers Viscount (Reg. VT-DIO) was operating a scheduled domestic flight, operating the Night Air Mail Service on the route Madras - Nagpur - New Delhi.It took off from Madras at 22:40 Indian standard time and the flight to Nagpur was uneventful. The plane took off from Nagpur with another crew at 02:37 on ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ญ๐ญ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฏ. Communications difficulties were encountered commencing at 02:58; the last message known to be sent by the plane was at 03:36; at that time VT-DIO was flying normally at an altitude of 16,500 feet, the sky was clear and the estimated time of arrival to the Delhi Control boundary was given as 04:05. There was enough fuel in the plane to maintain flight until 09:50. At approximately 04:00, the plane crashed in a field near village Patti, 15 miles from Agra. The impact resulted in immediate explosion and fire, all 13 aboard being killed.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:The cause of the accident could not be established. Although there is little substantial evidence to support the assumption, it is possible that a sudden malfunctioning of the auto-pilot and/or a sudden failure of the electrical power may have created conditions which made it impossible for the crew to retain control of the aircraft, thus causing it to lose height rapidly and crash to the ground.

N90981) on ๐๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ญ๐ญ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ฑ๐ฎ.At 00:13 Newark Control Tower gave the flight taxi clearance to runway 24, stating the wind was south, variable at six mph, and altimeter 29.92. At approximately 00:17 the flight advised the tower that it was ready for takeoff. Takeoff clearance was issued, and the controller observed the plane taxi into takeoff position and proceed down the runway in a normal manner, becoming airborne at 00:18 after a roll of approximately 3,200 feet. The climb-out appeared normal until the aircraft passed the vicinity of the Newark Range Station. At that point the no. 3 propeller reversed in flight. The plane veered to the right. Since it occurred at low altitude end low airspeed the crew did not have much time to make a correct analysis of the difficulty. Their attention might well have been directed to the outboard (no. 4) engine which in the event of loss of power would produce a more severe yaw than would an inboard engine. The pilot then decided to feather the no. 4 propeller and the co-pilot radioed: "I lost an engine and am returning to the field." The flight was immediately cleared to land on runway 06, which clearance was at once amended to land on any runway desired. The plane lost altitude and crashed in Elizabeth near the intersection of Scotland Road and Westminster Avenue.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the reversal in flight of No. 3 propeller with relatively high power and the subsequent feathering of No. 4 propeller resulting in a descent at an altitude too low to effect recovery."

At 14:01 the airplane departed Syracuse and climbed to the assigned cruising altitude of 7000 feet. The flight reported over Paterson, New Jersey at 15:21 at 7,000 feet and was cleared to descend. At 15:39, at an altitude of 1,500 feet, the flight was told it could start its approach inbound from Linden. The flight reported leaving Linden inbound at 15:41, and was instructed to listen to advisories from Ground Control Approach on the frequency of the localizer voice transmission and cleared to land on runway 06. At 5 miles out the flight was 900 feet left off course, but the Newark radar controller guided the crew for the approach. At three and a half miles out the plane drifted to the right until it was 900 feet off course. The plane continued off course and descended until it crashed and burned at the approximate corner of the intersection of Williamson and South Streets in Elizabeth, New Jersey. This position is about 2,100 feet to the right (southeast) of the glide path and about 3-3/8 miles from the touch-down point on runway 06.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The Board determines that there is insufficient evidence available at this time upon which to predicate a probable cause."CHAPTERS0:00 News Report1:40 Aftermath Footage3:49 Witness Interviews7:31 Aftermath Footage

Immediately after become airborne, tower personnel observed a trail of white smoke from the right side of the plane. The plane continued straight ahead in the direction of takeoff for a distance of approximately 4 miles, slowly gaining an altitude of approximately 800 to 1,000 feet. The smoke continued to increase in volume and shortly before the 4-mile point was reached black smoke and actual flames were seen coming from the underside of the right nacelle as the landing gear was lowered. The plane then started a gradual left turn banked at an estimated 10ยฐ. This turn and subsequent flight continued for an additional distance of approximately 4ยฝ miles with altitude continuously being lost. At approximately 3 miles from the airport and at an estimated altitude of about 200 feet the plane's then low left wing dropped about vertically downward with the right wing coming vertically upward. The plane continued ahead and down, struck a brick building used as a storage for water supply department materials, damaged this building and plunged a few feet ahead to the bank of the Elizabeth River, where it came to rest. All 58 people aboard were killed and one person on the ground was seriously injured.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was a stall with the landing gear extended following a serious loss of power from the right engine.

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.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The accident was caused by the pilot-in-command's inattention to his instruments."

At 14:30, the flight passed FL165, climbing to FL200 when the pilots a received a false warning of low oil pressure in the no. 2 engine, caused by aย short circuit. While the first officer consulted the emergency checklist, the captain unilaterally retarded the no. 2 engine power lever slowly to flight idle, causing the engine torque to decrease from 78% to 10%. Possibly this was done to prevent damage to the right-hand engine. As the no. 2 engine pressure was above 50psi, both pilots agreed normal operation should be continued. The captain however didn't want to continue to Cardiff and elected to return to Amsterdam.At 14:33 Amsterdam Radar was contacted with a PAN-call and a request to maintain FL160 and return to Amsterdam. Landing clearance was given at 14:42. The captain, not realising the consequences of flying with one engine in flight idle and was not able to anticipate correctly on the airspeed variations which resulted in an approach not stabilized in power, airspeed and pitch during the final approach. At 14:45 the captain called for a go-around and no. 1 engine torque was set at 98% with the no. 2 engine remaining at flight idle. Flaps were set at 7ยฐ and the gear was retracted. The plane rolled right and pitched up to a maximum of 12ยฐ. The plane struck the ground with an approximately 80ยฐ right bank and broke up.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐:"Inadequate use of the flight controls during an asymmetric go around resulting in loss of control.Contributing factors: Insufficient understanding of the flight crew of the SAAB 340B engine oil system; lack of awareness of the consequences of an aircraft configuration with one engine in flight idle; poor crew resource management."

At 15:02:38, the flight was cleared for takeoff and at 15:02:46 the captain acknowledged, "American 191 under way." The takeoff roll was normal until just before rotation at which time sections of the No. 1 engine pylon structure came off the plane. During rotation the entire No. 1 engine and pylon separated from the plane, went over the top of the wing, and fell to the runway. About 9 seconds after liftoff, the plane had accelerated to 172 knots and reached 140 feet.About 9 seconds after liftoff, the plane had accelerated to 172 knots and reached 140 feet of altitude. As the climb continued, the plane began to decelerate at a rate of about one knot per second, and at 20 seconds after liftoff, and an altitude of 325 feet, airspeed had been reduced to 159 knots. At this point, the plane began to roll to the left, countered by rudder and aileron inputs. The plane continued to roll until impact, 31 seconds after liftoff, and in a 112ยฐ left roll, and 21ยฐ nose down pitch attitude.

The crew taxied to runway 16 and were instructed by the Tower controller to hold short. After waiting for another plane to land, Flight 865 was cleared to taxi into position and hold. At 12:06:53 takeoff clearance was given. The DC-10 accelerated for takeoff. The nose was raised and at a speed of 158 knots the first officer called "Rotate". It was 12:07:40. Three seconds later, at a radio altitude of 9 feet, a fan blade of the 1st stage HP turbine from the no. 3 engine separated. The N1 dropped to 23,7% within a few seconds. At 12:07:45 the flight engineer called "Engine failure number one." Takeoff was aborted at about the V2 speed and the airplane contacted the runway one second later at a vertical acceleration force of 2.1 Gs.The thrust reversers were deployed and ground spoilers were extended. The DC-10 skidded off the runway through a ditch, fence and a road, before coming to a halt 620 meters past the runway threshold. Investigation revealed that the turbine blade that failed, had operated for 30,913 hours and 6,182 cycles. General Electric had advised customers to discard blades after about 6,000 cycles.๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐:"Although the CAS was well in excess of V1 and the aircraft had already lifted off from the runway, the takeoff was aborted. Consequently the aircraft departed the end of the runway, came to rest and caught fire. It is estimated that contributing to the rejection of the takeoff under this circumstance was the fact that the CAP's judgement in the event of the engine failure was inadequate."

After takeoff Houston departure control advised that it had the flight in radar contact and requested it to report when established outbound on the 345-degree radial of the Houston omni. Flight 542 complied and subsequently was cleared to 9,000 feet and advised to contact San Antonio Center upon passing the Gulf Coast intersection. At approximately 22:52 Flight 542 reported to San Antonio Center as being over Gulf Coast intersection at 9,000 feet. The flight was then issued its destination clearance to the Dallas Airport and it was cleared to climb to its cruising altitude of 15,000 feet. At 23:09 the left wing and the No. 1 gear box propeller separated. The horizontal stabilizer then broke up under the impact of parts coming from the wing; wing planking from the right wing tip came free; the No. 4 powerplant tore loose; and the right wing outboard of engine No. 4 separated. All of these events happened in a short period of time. Somewhat later, at much lower altitudes, the fuselage broke in two separate portions at a point about halfway back near fuselage station No. 570. All 34 people aboard were killed.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The Board determines the probable cause of this accident was structural failure of the left wing resulting from forces generated by undampened propeller whirl mode."

At 14:01 the airplane departed Syracuse and climbed to the assigned cruising altitude of 7000 feet. The flight reported over Paterson, New Jersey at 15:21 at 7,000 feet and was cleared to descend. At 15:39, at an altitude of 1,500 feet, the flight was told it could start its approach inbound from Linden. The flight reported leaving Linden inbound at 15:41, and was instructed to listen to advisories from Ground Control Approach on the frequency of the localizer voice transmission and cleared to land on runway 06. At 5 miles out the flight was 900 feet left off course, but the Newark radar controller guided the crew for the approach. At three and a half miles out the plane drifted to the right until it was 900 feet off course. The plane continued off course and descended until it crashed and burned at the approximate corner of the intersection of Williamson and South Streets in Elizabeth, New Jersey. This position is about 2,100 feet to the right (southeast) of the glide path and about 3-3/8 miles from the touch-down point on runway 06.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The Board determines that there is insufficient evidence available at this time upon which to predicate a probable cause."

At 08:37 the co-pilot reported that the plane was approaching the SIM (Simara) beacon at FL150, whereupon procedural clearance was given to continue to position SIERRA and to descend to 11,500 feet. At 08:40:14, he reported that the plane was approaching 25 DME whereupon the crew were instructed to maintain 11,500 feet and change frequency to Kathmandu Tower. At 08:42:51 the co-pilot reported โOne six due at eleven thousand five hundredโ. The controller responded by clearing the plane for the Sierra approach and instructing the crew to report at 10 DME. At 08:44:27 the co-pilot reported 10 DME and 3 seconds later he was asked, โReport your levelโ. He replied, โWe crossed out of eight thousand five hun,โ two hundred nowโ. The controller replied with the instruction โRoger clear for final. Report four DME Runway zero twoโ. The co-pilot responded to this instruction in a normal, calm and unhurried tone of voice; his reply was the last transmission heard from the plane, 32 seconds after the co-pilot reported 10 DME the plane crashed into steep, cloud-covered mountainside at 7,280 feet at 9,16 DME.๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The balance of evidence suggests that the primary cause of the accident was that one or both pilots consistently failed to follow the approach procedure and inadvertently adopted a profile which, at each DME fix, was one altitude step ahead and below the correct procedure. Why and how that happened could not be determined with certainty because there was no record of the crew's conversation on the flight deck.Contributory causal factors were thought to be the inevitable complexity of the approach and the associated approach chart."

B-1816) on ๐๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ถ๐น ๐ฎ๐ฒ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ต๐ฐ.The plane departed Taipei at 16:53. After initial descent and contact with Nagoya Approach Control, the flight was cleared for the ILS approach to runway 34. When passing through 1,000 feet on the approach glidepath, the first officer inadvertently triggered the GO levers placing the auto throttles into go-around mode, which led to an increase in thrust. This increase in thrust caused the plane to level off at 1,040 feet for 15 seconds and resulted in the flight path becoming high relative to the ILS glideslope. At 570 feet the captain took over the controls from the first officer. Upon assuming control, the captain initially attempted to continue the approach but was surprised by the strong resistive force to his full nose-down control inputs.Unable to control the increasing nose-up pitch, which had reached 22ยฐ, the captain called for the GO-lever shortly thereafter in an attempt to execute a go around. The increasing thrust added additional nose-up pitch moment and resulted in an uncontrolled steep climb. The plane continued to climb steeply up to 1,730 feet with AOA rapidly increasing and airspeed decreasing, reaching a maximum pitch angle of 53ยฐ until the stall warning and subsequent stall. Once stalled the plane's nose lowered to a steep dive and remained stalled until impacting the ground tail-first, 300 feet to the right of the runway and bursting into flames.๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐:While the aircraft was making an ILS approach to runway 34 of Nagoya Airport, under manual control by the F/O, the F/O inadvertently activated the GO lever, which changed the FD (Flight Director) to GO AROUND mode and caused a thrust increase. This made the aircraft deviate above its normal glide path. The APs were subsequently engaged, with GO AROUND mode still engaged. Under these conditions the F/O continued pushing the control wheel in accordance with the CAP's instructions. As a result of this, the THS (Horizontal Stabilizer) moved to its full nose-up position and caused an abnormal out-of-trim situation. The crew continued approach, unaware of the abnormal situation. The AOA increased the Alpha Floor function was activated and the pitch angle increased.It is considered that, at this time, the CAP (who had now taken the controls), judged that landing would be difficult and opted for go-around. The aircraft began to climb steeply with a high pitch angle attitude. The CAP and the F/O did not carry out an effective recovery operation, and the aircraft stalled and crashed.

Having descended to 3,000 feet the crew were instructed to turn left, heading 240ยฐ for vectoring to intercept the runway 05 ILS. The pilots did not respond to this instruction, as the controller addressed the call to 'Merpati 152'. The instructions were repeated, this time using the correct call sign. The flight crew replied: "GIA 152 heading 235. Confirm we cleared from a mountainous area?" At 13:30 ATC directed GA152 to turn right heading 046 and report when established on the localizer. Although the clearance for a right hand turn had been read back correctly, confusion on the part of the controller followed over whether GA152 was turning left or right: "152, confirm you're making turning left now?" GA152 responded, as cleared, that they were turning right. The controller subsequently added to the confusion by stating: "152 OK, you continue turning left now." This was contrary to the crew's expectations, so they enquired: "A (pause) confirm turning left? We are starting turning right now." The controller, possibly realising his error, replied: "OK (pause). OK..... GIA 152 continue turn right heading 015." Ten seconds later, the plane impacted a wooded area, broke up and burst into flames. All 234 (222 passengers and 12 crew members) occupants were killed.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"There was confusion regarding turning direction of left turn instead of right turn at critical position during radar vectoring that reduced the flight crew s vertical awareness while they were concentrating on the aircraft s lateral changes.

Over a 7-second period after touchdown, both thrust reversers were deployed and the left and right enginesโ engine pressure ratios (EPR) reached settings of 1.89 and 1.67, respectively. The thrust reversers were subsequently moved to the unlocked status (neither deployed nor stowed). The left brake pedal was relaxed at 23:50:34 before returning to its full position 2 seconds later. About the time that the left brake pedal was relaxed, the reversers were returned to the unlocked status. As the right thrust reverser was being moved to the unlocked status, the right engine reached a maximum setting of 1.74 reverse EPR. At 23:50:40, the left thrust reverser was moved back to the deployed position, but the right reverser was moved to the stowed position. After departing the end of the runway at 23:50:44, the plane struck several tubes extending outward from the left edge of the instrument landing system localizer array, located 411 feet beyond the end of the runway; passed through a chain link security fence and over a rock embankment to a flood plain, located approximately 15 feet below the runway elevation; and collided with the structure supporting the runway 22L approach lighting system.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The flight crew's failure to discontinue the approach when severe thunderstorms and their associated hazards to flight operations had moved into the airport area and the flight crew's failure to ensure that the spoilers had extended after touchdown.

The cockpit then folded to the left side of the fuselage, and the planne broke up over the Tรฉnรฉrรฉ desert. Debris scattered on 100 square kilometres and none of the 170 people aboard survived the crash.The explosive device was most probably hidden in baggage, placed aboard at Brazzaville. It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the attack. France obtained a confession from someone who claimed to have been involved. This lead to six Libyans being charged and tried in absentia. One of the persons being charges was the brother-in-law of Muammar Gaddafi, and deputy head of Libyan intelligence.

The plane departed for Gander at 02:50 GMT, where it arrived at 05:34 local time. Passengers were deplaned, the plane was refuelled, trash and waste water were removed, and catering supplies were boarded. The flight engineer conducted an external inspection of portions of the plane and the passengers then reboarded. Following engine start-up, the plane was taxied via taxiway "D" and runway 13 to runway 22 for departure. Takeoff on runway 22 was begun from the intersection of runway 13 at 06:45. The plane proceeded down the runway and rotated in the vicinity of taxiway "A", 51 seconds after brake release at an airspeed of about 167 knots. The plane gained little altitude after rotation, the speed reached 172 knots and began to decrease again, causing the plane to descend. The plane crossed the Trans-Canada Highway at a very low altitude. The pitch angle increased, but the plane continued to descend until it struck downsloping terrain approximately 3,000 feet beyond the departure end of the runway. The plane broke up and burst into flames.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The Canadian Aviation Safety Board was unable to determine the exact sequence of events which led to this accident. The Board believes, however, that the weight of evidence supports the conclusion that, shortly after lift-off, the aircraft experienced an increase in drag and reduction in lift which resulted in a stall at low altitude from which recovery was not possible. The most probable cause of the stall was determined to be ice contamination on the leading edge and upper surface of the wing. Other possible factors such as a loss of thrust from the number four engine and inappropriate take-off reference speeds may have compounded the effects of the contamination."Four members of the CASB filed a dissenting opinion with a different probable cause: "An in-flight fire that may have resulted from detonations of undetermined origin brought about catastrophic system failures."

The problem was rectified and two engines were started with ground power. The third one was started as the plane taxied to the runway. After obtaining takeoff clearance, the throttles were advanced and the airplane accelerated down runway 17. When the plane reached the Vr speed, it would not rotate. It took the crew 10 seconds to decide to abort the takeoff. With 800 meters of runway length remaining, brakes were applied. The Tu-154 overshot the runway and plowed into a soccer field. The plane barely missed a residential area.It is presumed that because of the problems during start-up and the time, almost 38 minutes, that passed to the beginning of takeoff, the final point of the checklist for taxiing was not complied with and the crew forgot to select the switches for the hydraulic valves of the control system.

At 04:42 the flight established radio contact with Tawau Tower โMH 2133 we are maintaining FL 170, TMA 40, VTW 0505, presently at 94 DME VTWโ. At 05:02:48, the flight reported passing 3,500 feet. The plane was then configured for landing where landing gears were selected down and flaps set at 25ยฐ. The plane's speed was still fast and since it was also high on the approach, the captain assured the co-pilot โRunway is long so no problem Ehโ. On passing 2,000 feet and on short final, the co-pilot reminded the captain โspeed, speed check, speed check Ahโ. The rate of descent was in excess of 3,000 fpm and its pitch angle was around -13ยฐ. The excessive rate of descent triggered the GPWS sink rate and pull up warnings. The captain ignored these warnings and insisted that he should continue with approach for a landing. The plane first touched down on the runway at 05:05. It then bounced and at 4,500 feet point, its left main wheel made a light contact with the runway surface. It subsequently bounced up again and its main wheels made a firm contact at 4,800 feet point, thus leaving only 800 feet of runway remaining. The plane continued onto the grass verge, momentarily left the ground and hopped over the runway perimeter fence. It subsequently crashed 571 feet from the end of the runway. The plane caught fire and was destroyed.๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The most probable cause of the accident was due to the commanderโs insistence to continue with an approach despite the fact that the runway available after touchdown was not sufficient enough for the aircraft to stop. The perception regarding economic consideration which put pressure on him to save fuel and adhere to schedules was a contributing factor."

The plane was 63nm out of Cali VOR (which is 8nm South of the airport) at the time. Cali cleared the flight for a direct Cali VOR approach and report at Tulua VOR. Followed one minute later by a clearance for a straight in VOR DME approach to runway 19 (the Rozo 1 arrival). The crew then tried to select the Rozo NDB (Non Directional Beacon) on the Flight Management Computer (FMC). Because their Jeppesen approach plates showed 'R' as the code for Rozo, the crew selected this option. But 'R' in the FMC database meant Romeo. Romeo is a navaid 150nm from Rozo, but has the same frequency. The plane had just passed Tulua VOR when it started a turn to the left (towards Romeo). This turn caused some confusion in the cockpit since Rozo 1 was to be a straight in approach. 87 Seconds after commencing the turn, the crew activated Heading Select, which disengaged LNAV and started a right turn. The left turn brought the plane over mountainous terrain, so a Ground Proximity warning sounded. With increased engine power and nose-up the crew tried to climb. The spoilers were still activated however. The stick shaker then activated and the plane crashed into a mountain at about 8,900 feet (Cali field elevation being 3,153 feet).๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"Aeronautica Civil determines that the probable causes of this accident were:1. The flight crew's failure to adequately plan and execute the approach to runway 19 at SKCL and their inadequate use of automation;2. Failure of the flight crew to discontinue the approach into Cali, despite numerous cues alerting them of the inadvisability of continuing the approach;3. The lack of situational awareness of the flight crew regarding vertical navigation, proximity to terrain, and the relative location of critical radio aids;4. Failure of the flight crew to revert to basic radio navigation at the time when the FMS-assisted navigation became confusing and demanded an excessive workload in a critical phase of the flight.Contributing to the cause of the accident were:1.

The takeoff roll was normal until just before rotation at which time sections of the No. 1 engine pylon structure came off the plane. During rotation the entire No. 1 engine and pylon separated from the plane, went over the top of the wing, and fell to the runway. About 9 seconds after liftoff, the plane had accelerated to 172 knots and reached 140 feet.About 9 seconds after liftoff, the plane had accelerated to 172 knots and reached 140 feet of altitude. As the climb continued, the plane began to decelerate at a rate of about one knot per second, and at 20 seconds after liftoff, and an altitude of 325 feet, airspeed had been reduced to 159 knots. At this point, the plane began to roll to the left, countered by rudder and aileron inputs. The plane continued to roll until impact, 31 seconds after liftoff, and in a 112ยฐ left roll, and 21ยฐ nose down pitch attitude.

Minutes before the crash, a slight drizzle had turned into a heavy downpour. Yet, the captain failed to act upon warnings from the flight engineer and first officer that the plane was flying too low. Instead he ordered the crew to look for the runway. "Don't see, don't see, captain! Turn back," the first officer responded. The plane then struck the palm tree. The captain then initiated an attempt to abort the approach. This failed as the aircraft struck several palm trees, damaging the left wing. The plane crashed into rice fields about 300 meters short of the runway. A one-year old baby boy survived the accident while 65 other occupants were killed.CHAPTERS0:00 AP11:07 MBC19:26 KBS

At 15:27, the Indianapolis approach controller advised, "Allegheny 853 roger, squawk ident heading 280 radar vector visual approach 31L." The flight acknowledged the vector and was then instructed to descend to 2,500 feet. The flight acknowledged at 15:27:29, "853 cleared down 2500 and report reaching." At the same time a Piper PA-28-140 (Reg. N7374J) was operating in the area on a solo training flight from Brookside Airpark to Bakalar AFB. The plane was on a VFR flight plan indicating a cruising altitude of 3,500 feet.The pilot advised the Indianapolis Flight Service Station at 15:21 that he had departed Brookside, requesting activation of his flight plan. This was the last known communication with N7374J. The approach controller did not notice any conflicting traffic in the area of Flight 853. Yet both planes were on a converging course, with the DC-9 descending towards the altitude of the PA-28. At approximately 15:29 both planes collided. The horizontal stabilizer of the DC-9 broke off and the aircraft impacted the ground inverted, almost wings-level, in a nose-down attitude. The Piper broke up and crashed about 4500 feet from the DC-9.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:"The deficiencies in the collision avoidance capability of the Air Traffic Control (ATC) system of the Federal Aviation Administration in a terminal area wherein there was mixed Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and Visual Flight Rules (VFR) traffic.

About 19:02:22 the Pittsburgh TRACON controller issued instructions to turn to a heading of 100ยฐ and told the crew there was other traffic in the area. About 19:02:53, Flight 427 was rolling out of the left bank as it approached the ATC-assigned heading of 100ยฐ and was maintaining the ATC-assigned airspeed (190 knots) and altitude (6,000 feet). About 4 seconds later the plane suddenly entered the wake vortex of Delta Airlines flight 1083, a Boeing 727, that preceded it by 4,2 miles. The first officer then manually overrode the autopilot without disengaging it by putting in a large right-wheel command to level the plane.At 19:03:01 the plane's heading slewed suddenly and dramatically to the left (full left rudder deflection). Within a second of the yaw onset the roll attitude suddenly began to increase to the left, reaching 30ยฐ. At 19:03:07 the pitch attitude approached -20ยฐ, the left bank increased to 70ยฐand the descent rate reached 3,600 ft/min. At this point, the plane stalled. The plane descended fast and at 19:03:25 the plane impacted the ground nose first at 261 knots in an 80ยฐ nose down, 60ยฐ left bank attitude and with significant sideslip.
