Accident Description: instagram.com/p/Cicrs3qvRL3/?igsh=MTN6OGMxdXpvZGRo
๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ต๐ต๐ฑ was an international charter flight from Madrid to New York with an intermediate stop in Mรกlaga. The flight was being operated by a McDonnell Douglas DC-10 (Reg. EC-DEG) on ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ญ๐ฏ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ด๐ฎ.
The plane departed Madrid at 09:36 and arrived at Mรกlaga at 10:20. The crew then taxied to the threshold of runway 14. Takeoff clearance was received at 11:58. During takeoff the co-pilot called out the 80 knots and 100 knots speeds. A short time before reaching V1 (162 knots), pieces of tread of a nose wheel tire started to detach. As the captain tried to rotate by applying up elevator, the vibration was of such magnitude that he feared that the plane might become uncontrollable after takeoff. He decided to abort the takeoff. At that point, with a maximum speed attained of 184 knots, there was 4,250 feet of runway left.
The captain retarded the throttles and tried to select reverse thrust. The no. 3 throttle slipped from his hands, causing a power asymmetry. The plane veered slightly to the left. The DC-10 overshot the runway at a speed of 110 knots, colliding with an ILS building, causing engine no. 3 to separate. The plane went through a fence and crossed a highway were it damaged 3 vehicles. It then collided with a farming construction, causing ยพ of the right wing to break off, as well as the right horizontal stabilizer. The plane stopped 1,475 feet past the end of runway 14. A fire erupted in the rear of the fuselage.
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:
"The Commission determines the cause of the accident to be the fractional detachment of the retread of the right wheel of the nose gear, originating a strong vibration which could not be identified by the captain, leading hime into the belief that the aircraft would become uncontrollable in flight, and thus deciding to abandon the take-off over VR.
The decision of aborting the take-off, though not in accordance with the standard operation procedure, is in this case considered reasonable, on the base of the irregular circumstances that the crew had to face, the short period of time available to take the decision, the lack of training in case of wheel failure and the absence of take-off procedures when failure other than that of the engines occurs."
