Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Summary During a demonstration flight, a U.S. Army flyer flown by Orville Wright nose-dived into the ground from a height of approximately 75 feet, killing Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge who was a passenger. This was the first recorded airplane fatality in history. One of two propellers separated in flight, tearing loose the wires bracing the rudder and causing the loss of control of the aircraft. Orville Wright suffered broken ribs, pelvis and a leg. Selfridge suffered a crushed skull and died a short time later. First U.S. dirigible Akron exploded just offshore at an altitude of 1,000 ft. during a test flight. The first fatal airplane accident in Canada occurred when American barnstormer, John M. Bryant, California aviator was killed. Page 4 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 properly. While on a sightseeing trip, the plane ran out of fuel and crashed. Carelessness and negligence on the part of the pilot for not replenishing his fuel supply before it got dangerously low and poor judgment on his part for attempting to return to the airport when there was open terrain ahead of him. Many passengers did not use their seatbelts nor were they instructed in their use. Midair collision with an I-5 fighter at 2,300 ft. The fighter was performing aerobatics trying to loop around the Tupolev. The plane crashed into a residental neighborhood and was on its maiden flight. The plane was nicknamed 'Maxim Gorky.' Pilot error. Forty-nine killed on the Tupolev, one on the I-5

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Crashed into the ground on a farm at high speed. Crashed into the Ulua River. A collision occurred between the two Ford Tri-Motors as one was barely off the ground and one was still on the ground at Olaya Herrera Airfield. The accident was officially attributed to wind sheer or the one aircraft being blown into the other aircraft as it took off. Rivalry among the two pilots may have played a part in the accident as one pilot had buzzed the other four days before the accident.. Actor, singer, Carlos Gardel, 44, and his lyricist Alfredo Le Pera, 35, among those killed. The plane lost altitude while attempting an emergency landing after taking off and losing an engine. The wing hit a dyke and the plane burst into flames. The plane deviated from its course and flew 20 miles off Page 164 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 course and flew 20 miles off shore and crashed. Cause unknown. Crashed into a mountain near St. Bernard Pass in Switzerland. Mountains obscured by clouds. Destoryed in a storm. Crashed 3 miles south of Gilmer. The outboard engine separated from the aircraft after a propeller blade broke off resulting in an imbalanced condition which led to loss of control of the aircraft. The plane flew into a mountain 43 miles West of Glendo in heavy fog. Against advice to the contrary, the pilot decided to fly a direct route to Denver rather than go around, following the valleys and airways used by other pilots. The direct route took him across some of the most dangerous flying country in the west.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Dense fog caused the pilot to make a forced landing about 15 miles south of Point Barrow. After some mechanical repairs, the plane took off, rose to about 50 feet and then crashed into shallow water. Loss of control of the aircraft at a low altitude after sudden engine failure due to the extreme nose-heaviness of the aircraft. Adventurer, Wiley Post, 37, and humorist, Will Rogers, 56, killed. Most experts believe that a combination of miscalculations in the design and operation of the heavily customized aircraft resulted in the uncontrollable spin that occurred right after takeoff. Lost altitude and hit power lines after developing engine trouble after taking off.



While flying in a normal, slightly descending path, the aircraft first collided with the ground just Page 172 of 4941

Because of clouds and poor visibility, this required flying close to the ground whereas the safest method under such circumstances was to climb into or above the overcast to a safe altitude and determine the location of the plane by instruments and radio. Crashed while taking off after the plane hit a boat . The aircraft was shipped to Miami and repaired. One of the injured passengers was Jose Iturbi, well known conductor and pianist. Crashed on the slopes of Mount Basso, 20 miles from Turin.

Crashed on takeoff. The plane disappeared while en route from Lae to Howland Island. The aircraft had to be flown higher than expected due to storms which used extra fuel. In addition, strong head winds were encountered. The aircraft most likely ran out of fuel and ditched into the ocean 50 to 100 miles northwest of Howland Island. Amelia Earhart, 40, and navigator Fred Noonan, killed. The aircraft crashed into a potato field after possibly being struck by lightning and after an in-flight fire.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Crashed as it landed in Phaleron Bay. Two passengers drowned. Poor visibility was blamed for the accident. Bronislaw Hubermann, celibrated Polish violinist was sightly injured. The plane crashed into the side of a mountain (Humpy Ridge) in level flight at 10,000 ft. under adverse weather conditions. Staticonditions encountered in the last portion of the flight which rendered the reception of radio range signals unintelligible. The continuation of the flight into mountainous country at an altitude below of higher mountains without the aid of ground visibility or radio signals to definitely identify position. A change in the weather caused by the approach of an unpredicted cold front. Hit the ground prematurely while attempting to land. Page 224 of 4941

An hour after leaving Santiago, radio contact with the flight was lost, as it had crashed in the high Andes. It was not found until February 1941, by indians, who plundered the aircraft and the dead passengers looking for valuables. While taking off from Billings, the airplane left the ground in a stalled condition from which the pilot attempted to recover by use of full emergency power. Emergency power was not available because of improper adjustment of the stop which had been placed on the quadrant of the propeller pitch control levers, preventing the levers from going to the full low pitch position. As a result of the stalled condition, the airplane Page 244 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The aircraft was named Cavalier. Crashed into the Mediterranean Sea.



The aircraft crashed after the tail broke off. Dutch engineer A.G. von Baumhauer among those killed. He was a famous helicopter pioneer who first came up with the tail rotor/main rotor configuration which is in use today. Strructural failure of the wings and horizontal tail surfaces due t o the imposition of loads thereon in excess of those for which they were designed, the failure occurring in an abrupt pull-out from a dive following recovery from an inadvertent spin. Pilot error. Shot down by a He-111 German military aircraft. An explosion in an engine, just Page 268 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 after takeoff blew the two halves of the cowl open creating excessive drag and causing the left wing to drop. The captain tried to circle back, but the wing impacted an embankment along a section line road and crashed about 100 yards inside the boundary. Either the hot metal of the engines or some other source ignited the fuel spilling out of the ruptured tank and the cabin was quickly engulfed in flames. The initial cause of the explosion was a cylinder blow out which was a problem with that particular engine and had caused problems in two other aircraft, a TWA and United DC2, both of which landed safely. Crashed into a mountain.



Crashed due to icing. While performing aerobatics, the aircraft lost control and crashed Page 272 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 aircraft lost control and crashed into numerous building near a college.



The aircraft crashed after an engine fire. Crashed in the Llaveria mountains in heavy fog and caught fire. The plane hit the highest peak of the mountains. The plane lost power from the left engine, yawed to the left, and started a descending turn in the same direction. The plane continued to lose altitude and turn at a sharper and steeper angle until it struck a caisson anchored at right angles to a small island in the harbor immediately adjacent to its landing approach path. Loss of power from the left engine during the landing approach, necessitating an attempted landing under extremely hazardous conditions.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The plane was seen circling Canberra Aerodrome after which it headed west to make the final approach for landing. The aircraft momentarily disappeared behind one of the hills that surround the airport, then reappeared. There was the sound of engines being gunned, then the aircraft disappeared again. An explosion and sight of a large plume of black smoke followed. All on board the Hudson were killed including several high ranking Australian military leaders. A witness later said the aircraft appeared to drop its left wing and then dip its nose steeply, classisymptoms of a stall, too close to the ground for recovery. Crashed into a mountainous area during a hail storm. The aircraft was flying through a thunderstorm in turbulence when the it nosed over and plunged to earth near Short Hill Page 288 of 4941

The failure of the captain in charge of the flight to exercise the proper degree of fare by not checking his altimeters to determine whether both were correctly set and properly functioning before commencing his landing approach. A substantial contributing factor was the absence of an established uniform cockpit procedure on Eastern Air Lines by which both the captain and co-pilot are required to make a complete Page 304 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Crashed into a hillside. Following the approach, the aircraft contacted the water in an unduly nose-low attitude while moving sideways relative to the water. Almost immediately after first contact with the water, the aircraft swerved violently to the right and broke into several major sections. The failure of the captain to exercise requisite caution and skill in landing. A contributing factor was the smooth surface of the water, which rendered difficult, the captain's depth perception as well as the exact determination of any lateral movement of the aircraft.



Crashed in fog and mist due to icing on the wings. The pilot, Clarence Bates, was thrown clear of the wreckage and was the lone survivor. Accumulation Page 312 of 4941

Actress Carole Lombard, 33, her mother, and press agent were killed in the crash. Her mother did not want to fly and a coin was tossed to see whether the trip would be made by train or plane. The actress was returning from a war-bond promotion. The flight was 6.7 miles off course for unknown reasons. Failure of the captain to follow a proper course and make use of navigation facilities available to him. A contributing factor was the blackout of beacons in the area made necessary because of the war emergency.

When the throttles were cut to descend, the flame only went as far back as the holes. There the flames went up around the fuel tank, igniting the fumes and blew the wing off. Diverted to Kweilin after Chunking was below minimums. After holding over Kweilin for 3 hours, the aircraft ran out of gas, hit mountain and was demolished. Crashed into a river. Disappeared while en route from Iceland to Newfoundland. As the aircraft approached land, it began a climb but was not able to gain sufficient altitude to clear a cloud shrouded cliff.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 ruptured on impact. Crashed into a mountain in poor weather conditions. Shot down by British Mosquito fighters. Broke-up in flight either due to an explosion or catastrophistructural failure of the aircraft. The wing separated from the aircraft after entering a thunderstorm and encountering severe turbulence. The failure of the airplane's structure as a result of severe turbulence, an important contributing cause was the fact that the airplane was undoubtedly in an abnormal attitude of flight, i.e., inverted, at the instant of structural failure. The cause of the airplane becoming inverted was not determined.



Flying in low overcast, the aircraft struck a hill, exploded

It has been theorized the plane may have been hit by bombs being jettisoned over the English Channel by RAF bombers on their way home from an unsuccessful raid. Wreckage and bodies were never found. The cargo plane crashed in strong winds The aircraft crashed 1.25 miles short of the intended landing area in a nose-down attitude at too great a speed and broke up in the water. The first officer's failure to realize his proximity to the water and to correct his attitude for a normal landing and the lack of adequate supervision by the captain during the landing, resulting in the inadvertent flight into the water in excess of normal landing speed and in a nose-down attitude. The aircraft was named China Clipper. The aircraft, lost in fog, crashed Page 400 of 4941

Lack of vigilance on the part of the pilots of both aircraft, resulting in the failure of each pilot to see the other aircraft in time to avoid a collision. A U.S. Army Air Force plane crashed into the 79th floor of the Empire State Building in heavy fog. Lt. Col. William Franklin Smith Jr., the pilot, became disoriented while trying to land at Newark Airport. Lt. Smith was told he had a 3 hour wait to land at Newark. Impatient to get his plane on the ground, he falsely declared he had official business at La Guardia Airport with the intention of diverting to Newark as soon as he was cleared. The 12 ton plane smashed a 20 ft. hole in the building. Fuel from the ruptured gas tanks poured out and set two floors ablaze killing 10 people. One engine exited the Page 424 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The pilot, in the belief that he was encountering engine trouble, attempted a landing despite a landing approach which was too high and too fast. Initial contact with the runway was made at a point which provided insufficient room for a landing roll and at an airspeed considerable in excess of normal. The pilot was unable to bring the aircraft to a stop in time to avoid overshooting the runway. The decision of the pilot in attempting a landing from an approach which was too high and too fast. In worsening weather conditions, the plane landed fast and high while making an instrument approach to Birmingham, overran the runway, crashed through the barrier fence and into a creek.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 high and too fast.



Crashed into a mountainside in a snowstorm. The aircraft lost control and spiraled into the ground after the No. 1 engine caught on fire and the left wing separated from the aircraft. The fire, caused by the failure of a fuel line or fuel line connection, led to failure of the left wing. Collided with Mt. Ptolemy while en route.



The aircraft crashed into Elk Mountain after the crew made an unauthorized deviation from the prescribed route at an altitude insufficient to assure adequate clearance over Elk Mountain. Flight had originally filed for 13,000 ft. But later amended the flight plan to 11,000 ft. Elk Mountain is 11,152 ft. MSL. Page 452 of 4941

Crashed on takeoff. Broke up in midair and crashed. Collided in midair while a fighter made practice diving maneuvers on the formation. Engine trouble after takeoff forced the crew to return to Richmond. While the crew was attempting to land a second time, an engine was shut down because it was running rough. The pilot apparently shut down the wrong engine. The plane stalled and crashed to earth, nose first.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 aircraft. Crashed into a swamp soon after taking off after suffering structural failure of the left wing in adverse weather conditions. Flew into trees on Mistberget mountain at 2,000ft. while on approach to Oslo. Pilot error. Descended too early. Inexperience in radio range flying and inadequate equipment. Crashed and burned while attempting to glide in for an emergency landing at Lakhurst Field. The port engine and, later, the starboard engine failed as the result of fuel starvation. Circumstantial evidence suggests strongly that this was caused by the inadvertent selection of the auxiliary fuel tanks which at that time contained only a small amount of fuel.

The error of the pilot in establishing an approach toward an area not cleared for landing as a result of having mistaken the end markers of Runway 23 for those of Runway 31. A contributing factor was the failure of the pilot to abandon his attempt to land at Cleveland Airport when confronted with weather conditions below the minimums prescribed for that airport. The aircraft crashed into White Mountain at an elevation of 6,000 feet, in rain and 70 mph winds after being blown off course while on a heading from Palmdale to Newhall. Possible downdraft.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 the No. 2 engine. Ran out of fuel and crashed after not being able to land at Bordeaux or Paris and attempting to land at Lympne. Poor planning and operation by the crew. Poor weather conditions encountered throughout the flight. Crew unfamilar with route. The aircraft flew into the ground at an altitude of 2,500 ft., 63 miles northwest of WinstonSalem. The pilot took an unapproved route and let down without having positively determined the position of the aircraft. A contributing factor was the erroneous navigation of the pilot which on at least two occasions led him to believe that he was farther south than he actually was. Crashed and burned moments after takeoff. Failure of the right engine.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 under a possible calm wind condition. While on approach to Baltimore at 4,000 ft., the plane suddenly went into a nose dive, inverted and crashed. Possible problems with the elevator. The official cause was never determined. The cargo plane struck high ground while en route. Struck an obstacle on landing. The aircraft crashed into a ridge at Lookout Rock, 8 miles SE of Charles Town, WV during a rainstorm. The action of the pilot in descending below the minimum en route altitude under conditions of weather which prevented adquate visual reference to the ground. A contributing cause was the faulty clearance given by ATC. While on a flight originating in New York and making its inaugural westbound flight of round-the-world service, the Page 544 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 round-the-world service, the aircraft's No. 1 engine failed half-way on a leg from Karachi to Istanbul. Due to closed airports and inadequate repair facilities, the pilot chose to continue to its destination. Several hours later, the remaining engines overheated and the No.2 engine caught fire causing the plane to crash. Gene Roddenberry (creator of Star Trek) was a deadheading Pan Am pilot aboard, who helped rescue many of the passengers. The crash was blamed on Pan Am's failure to replace the No. 2 engine which had experienced several problems earlier. A fire which resulted from an attempt to feather the No. 2 propeller after the failure of the No. 2 engine thrust bearing. The aircraft was named Clipper Eclipse. Crashed while en route.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 from New York to San Juan, Puerto Rico, crashed into a swamp while attempting to make an emergency landing. Loss of an engine due to a fuel flow problem led to loss of altitude and a crash landing. Six spark plugs in the right engine were found to be defective. A defect found in the carburetor may have contributed to excessive fuel loss. Crew fatigue contributed to the accident. Lost control while landing and crashed. During a fourth landing attempt the plane touched down, power was applied but the plane crashed in a wooded area beyond the runway. An error on the part of the pilot in continuing the flight in unsuitable weather conditions coupled with lack of cooperation by the ATC. Struck a truck while attempting to land. Page 552 of 4941

The cargo plane entered a thunderstorm and struck Blue Bell Knoll Mountain. The continuation of the flight into instrument weather conditions over mountainous terrain at an altitude too low to clear the mountains en route. Heavy water landing. The captain misjudged the approach and allowed the aircraft to touchdown heavily, short of the flarepath. He then failed to maintain control during the bounce and the aircraft struck the water in a nose-down attitude.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Crashed into 13,000 foot mountain. While cruising at 8,000 ft. in clear weather, the aircraft went into steep dive which the copilot was able to pull out of at 350 feet from the ground. As a prank, a captain riding in the jump seat, engaged the gust lock in flight. The command pilot, not knowing the gust lock was engaged, rolled the elevator trim tab with no response. When the jump seat captain disengaged the gust lock,the aircraft went into a steep dive, executed part of an outside roll and become inverted. Neither the command nor jump seat captain had seat belts on and they accidentally feathered No. 1, 2 and 4 engines when they hit the controls with their heads. No one realized it at the time but the feathering reduced power and allowed the co-pilot, who Page 564 of 4941

Fire was reported on board the aircraft before it crashed. An almost identical accident with the same cause occurred on 11/11/47. The flight crew transferred fuel either intentionally or inadvertently from the No. 4 alternate tanks to the No. 3 alternate tanks and failed to stop the transfer process in time to avoid overflowing the No. 3 alternate tank. Gasoline flowed through the No. 3 alternate vent line, out the vent, and was carried back by the slip stream, entering the cabin heater combustion air intake scoop. When the cabin heater came on an explosion and fire occurred. The fire was fueled by magnesium flares Page 568 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 strored in the cabin heater compartment. Caused by a design flaw in the aircraft which allowed vented fuel to be carried back into the cabin heater air intake. The aircraft crashed into Tamgas Mountain after abandoning an approach to Annette Island because of extreme turbulence and radioing its intentions to proceed to Juneau. Possible severe turbulence or icing. Official cause unknown. The aircraft was named Clipper Talisman II. The aircraft crashed into Mt. Hymettus while on approach to Hassani Airport in a severe rainstorm. The captain, John Douglas, probably tried to force the landing due to the weather conditions, when the belly of the aircraft hit the summit, resulting in loss of control, crash and fire.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 airplane too far from the approach end of a wet runway and at a speed too great to accomplish a full stop on the runway. The aircraft crashed and burned in a wooded area shortly after taking off from Goose Bay. Snow falling at the time of the accident was a factor. After preparing to land, the aircraft went into a right-hand spiral and crashed for reasons unknown.



The aircraft lost control and crashed just after taking off. The captain losing control in conditions of poor visibility, resulted in the aircraft flying into the ground. The loss of control was most likely caused by inadequate illumination of the flying instruments due to faults in the lighting system. Decision to take off in poor weather conditions and faulty lighting Page 588 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 accident cannot be determined. Crashed on takeoff.



The plane crashed after an inflight fire in cargo hold. The crew discharged carbon dioxide extinguishers into the cargo hold in response to the fire warning. When the plane's nose was lowered for an emergency descent, the carbon dioxide, being heavier than air, accumulated in the cockpit and asphyxiated the crew. The aircraft crashed through high voltage lines and exploded on a hillside. After the crashes of 10/24/47 and 11/11/47, were a design flaw allowed vented fuel to enter the intake for the cabin heating system, the CAA also ordered carbon dioxide extinguishers installed. Earl Carroll, U.S. theatrical impresario killed. Douglas Page 620 of 4941

The engines were cut and the plane skidded for 700 feet until it hit a hanger and burst into flames. The accident was caused by the crew's attempt to take off in an airplane which had formations of ice and frost on the surfaces of the wings. In addition, the plane was overloaded by 1,500 lbs. A blown tire during takeoff led to damage to the landing gear, engine and oil line. Lack of oil caused loss of the engine and the crew was not able to feather the prop. This led to overspeeding and an engine fire. The plane made a spiral descent and crashed to the ground. Cargo plane. The loss of control of the aircraft which resulted from an icing condition, Page 652 of 4941

Failure of the captain to maintain a safe height, by utilizing the available power of the starboard engines after power failure in the port engine. The reason for this failure by the captain cannot be determined. The power failure in the port engines was caused by fuel starvation brought about by an insuffuciency of fuel in the port tanks. This fuel shortage was the result of the wing tanks being allowed to become progressively unbalanced during the last stage of the flight. Crashed while attempting to land.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 a Porto Alegre, a fire was discovered in cargo hold 'G.' The pilot executed an emergency descent while the crew tried to extinguish the flames to no avail. As the plane attempted to land, the panicking passengers rushed to the front of the plane to escape the flames causing the center of gravity to change, resulting in a hard landing. The cause of the fire in the hold 'G' was not determined. Both the No. 1 and No. 2 propellers detached in flight which led to the crew ditching the plane close to shore. The aircraft was part of relief efforts of the Ecuador earthquake. Fuel exhaustion forced the plane to ditch in the AtlantiOcean, 15 km off the coast of Ireland. The plane stayed afloat for 15 minutes but 8 occupants died due to Page 688 of 4941

Flew off its prescribed course and crashed into Mt. Tanzawa in a rainstorm. Flew into a mountain. Crashed while attempting to land after being diverted to Lagens due to engine trouble. Lost the left aileron after taking off, lost control and crashed. The cargo plane lost an engine on takeoff and crashed. Overloading of the aircraft due to faulty loading and dispatch procedures coupled with engine malfunctioning due to inadequate maintenance. During descent into dense cumulonimbus clouds, severe turbulence was encountered which caused displacement of freight that led to an uncontrolled dive which resulted Page 724 of 4941

With surface winds relatively calm and in 2,000 meters of sand haze, the winds at 400 ft. may have been in excess of 80 knots. En route from New York to Minneapolis, the aircraft crashed into Lake Michigan. The DC-4 was last reported at 3,500 ft. The crash occurred shortly after the aircraft entered an area of severe turbulence with thunderstorm activity. The wreckage was located in 150 feet of water but was not recoverable because it was in 30 feet of silt. The forecast of a squall line in the areas was not made available to the crew. Cause unknown. The airliner experienced trouble with all four engines. The crew attempted to return to Guildford Page 736 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 but in the dark, while in a 15 degree turn to port, the aircraft barely cleared a ridge line, struck a tree 30 feet off the ground and ploughed into a downward slope shredding itself and contents into small pieces. The aircraft was named 'Amana.' Struck a mountain. Crashed on climb-out. The left wing separated from the plane in extreme turbulence from a thunderstorm.



The aircraft took off from Oshima and reached an altitude of 3,500 feet after which a sudden unexplained descent was made until it crashed into the sea. The surviving witness stated the aircraft hit two moderate bumps followed by dimming of the lights before the descent. The aircraft flew into power lines Page 740 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 during a landing attempt after running out of fuel while in a holding pattern. An explosion in the left wing fuel tank tore off the upper wing surface leading to loss of control of the aircraft. The No. 2 propeller began to overspeed during the takeoff. This was followed by overspeeding of the No. 3 propeller. The No. 3 propeller was successfully feathered but then the landing gear would not retract. The aircraft was unable to gain altitude and the pilot slid the aircraft to the left to avoid a trailer park at the end of the runway. The aircraft stalled, fell to the ground and broke-up. Killed in the accident was Brigadier General Robert E. Travis. The installation was later renamed Travis Air Force Base in his honor. The plane crashed in the steep forested foothills in the Gua Page 744 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Musang district. While en route from Cairo to Rome, witnesses observed the aircraft on fire. After turning back toward Cairo, it crashed and burned. Failure of the rear master rod bearing in the No. 3 engine that led to an uncontrollable fire. The aircraft was named 'Star of Maryland.' Engine parts were observed falling from a height of 3,000 feet. Soon after, the plane was seen losing altitude until it crashed into trees 1.5 miles southeast of Oneida County Airport. Failure of the left engine shortly after takeoff coupled with increased drag due to loss of the left cowling and reduced power output of the right engine resulting from the high pitch position of the right propeller. Crashed during takeoff. Crashed into the sea and exploded 3 minutes after taking off from Kwajalein. Possible Page 748 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 established with certainty, the probable explanation of the known facts may be that the captain deliberately came down below break-off point and then at 100 ft. or less came into fog which abruptly reduced the visibility of the runway lights and that then and not till then he started overshoot procedure with fatal results. The aircraft crashed in a snowstorm 200 meters below Mont Blansummit. The crew was warned by a Geneva controller to climb immediately. They acknowledged the message but soon after struck the mountain. The exact cause of the accident remains undetermined. Most likely the aircraft was caught in violent gust while trying to overfly the summit. The plane was named 'Malabar Princess.' The pilot failed to follow the carrier's prescribed instrument Page 756 of 4941

The aircraft drifted 50 miles off the prescribed route and struck Mt. Tete de l'Obiou at 6,740 feet. The pilot probably realized the deviation and tried to take corrective action but did not see the mountain in time. Veered off the runway and crashed into a ditch.. The aircraft crashed into Mt. Moran at 11,200 ft., in a snowstorm while flying in IMC conditions. The accident was attributed to flight into IMC conditions with probable electrical failure due to a malfunctioning voltage regulator. Crashed into a hill in poor weather conditions while en route.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 ran into a ditch and caught fire. Pilot error in electing to land long, on a wet and snow covered runway instead of executing a missed approach. While cruising at 6,000 ft., the aircraft when out of control and into a dive, hitting the ground at 340 mph. Officially the cause was never determined. Possible in-flight fire, explosion, structural failure or conrol system failure. The aircraft plunged to the ground from 6,500 feet after being struck by lightning. Lightning ignited a mixture of air and fuel fumes in the fuel tank. Crashed into mountainous terrain while en route. Most likely weather related. Crashed into the sea 2.5 miles north of the airport after a second landing attempt in snow. The first attempt was aborted because the runway lights were not visible.

Overspeed, reduction of pitch or difficulty in restarting the engine may have created a dangerous situation and caused the aircraft to stall in dissymmetrical flight, thus subjecting the airframe to stresses accompanied by buffeting which was either alternating or exceeded the design limits of the structure and caused the tail-plane to break off.



Cleared for an approach to Oakland Municipal Airport, the aircraft crashed 15 miles SSE of the airport into Tolman peak. Patches of fog obscured the terrain. The aircraft struck a hill at an elevation of about 1,000 ft. at 225 to 240 mph. Neither of its 2 low-frequency receivers were Page 804 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 studs in the number 10 cylinder of the right engine failed due to fatigue. Fire erupted at the base of the failed cylinder. Extension of the landing gear and loss of the right engine led to the aircraft stalling at the height of about 200 ft. The aircraft was also overloaded by 117 pounds. A stall with the landing gear extended following a serious loss of power from the right engine. This loss of power was caused by the failure of the hold-down studs of the No. 10 cylinder, precipitating a fire in flight which became uncontrollable. Crashed at Mehrabad airport during a third landing attempt. Proceding at a low altitude to maintain reference with the ground, the plane drifted off course and crashed into a hill 15 miles east of the direct route. Flying VFR under IFR condtions.

Pilot did not maintain a safe altitude. The pilots ignorance of wind conditions which allowed the aircraft to drift 3 degrees off course.



Banked left and struck trees 2,000 ft. short of the runway. Pilot error. The pilot misjudged the approach, undershot and hit the tops trees. A contributing factor was the setting of the pilot's altimeter to QNH, rather than the customary QFE during the final approach. The right wing struck trees after attempting a go-around. Pilot error. After taking off, the plane was observed turning to the left until it turned on its back and Page 836 of 4941

One of two engines of the aircraft fell into a crowd at a performance at the Farnborough air show. The aircraft crashed to the ground 1.5 miles from the grandstands killing the Chief test pilot of de Havilland Aircraft Corporation, John Derry and an observer, Tony Richards. In addition, fifty two people on the ground were killed and over 60 injured. The cause was a structural design fault in the D shaped leading edge section of the wing. When Derry pulled a high G turn, the wing buckled.

A navigational error on the part of the captain. This error was severely aggravated by the lack of proper radio aids from the destination airport, the unserviceability of the aircraft R/T equipment, and to a lesser degree the physical condition of the crew. The secondary cause was the cargo plane coming into close proximity of high ground due to the captains uncertainty of his position. Was on air-sea practice when it crashed near Tarbat Ness. After being cleared to land the aircraft struck high ground and burst int flames. Navigational error in not knowing where the aircraft was located. Poor weather.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 aircraft was traversing an intense frontal-wave type storm of extremely severe turbulence, the severity and location of which the pilot had not been fully informed. The aircraft overran the runway during takeoff. Excessive noseup attitude of the aircraft during the takeoff run producing a partly stalled condition and excessive drag. The pilot who had only limited experience in the Comet aircraft, elected to takeoff at night at the maximum permissable takeoff for the prevailing conditions. The circumstances required strict adherence to the prescribed takeoff technique, which was not complied with. First fatal crash of a commercial jet aircraft. The aircraft was named Empress of Hawaii. After missing his first approach to the airport, the pilot displayed poor judgement in attempting a Page 900 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 place in both engines and that they ultimately failed as a result of master rod bearing failures. Crashed after takeoff due to wing failure. The aircraft descended below minimum altitude and crashed into the sea. The pilot's action in continuing a descent below the 500 ft. prescribed minimum altitude until the aircraft struck the water. A probable contributing factor to the aircraft striking the water was the sensory illusion experienced by the pilots. The aircraft crashed 6 minutes after taking off from Dum Dum Airport. The accident occurred during a violent thunderstorm. Wreckage indicated that the aircraft broke up in the air. Failure of both elevator spars caused by a heavy down-load that may have been associated with a pull-up maneuver. Severe gusts encountered in the Page 916 of 4941

While the pilot was aligning with the runway, he descended below obstructions partially obscured by fog. Crew's failure to abandon the landing under adverse weather conditions. Crashed to the ground after an engine fire. While the plane was attempting to land it entered a steep climb, stalled and crashed. The structural failure of the left elevator in flight, causing loss of control. This structural failure was brought about by the left outboard hinge bolt backing out of the assembly. The underlying cause was improper maintenance which resulted in the installation of hinge bolts and bearings not meeting specifications, and inadequate inspection which failed to detect this condition.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Crashed in a steep dive while making an IFR landing in turbulence following an engine fire. Probably lost a wing during a pull out from a steep dive. Crashed during takeoff. The cargo plane crashed while on approach. The loss of control of the aircraft at an altitude too low to effect recovery. The loss of control resulted from an accumulation of ice and the use of de-icer boots at low air speeds. After reporting a fire in the cargo hold and that a ditching was imminent, the last message from the aircraft was 'I've lost control of the aircraft we're going in.' The plane broke apart over the Susitna Valley of South Central Alaska and the scattered parts fell onto Kesugi Ridge, which is now within Denali State Park. Six servicemen wearing Page 956 of 4941

Less than a minute after takeoff, the aircraft crashed into a mudbank of the Shannon River. Although the crash site was only about 2,500 metres from the airport, no one was aware of the disaster. Rescue operations were only started after the plane's navigator, after having crossed the river, managed to reach the airport. The aircraft was partially submerged, and at least one of the fuel tanks had ruptured during the crash. The Page 984 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 ruptured during the crash. The fuel fumes rendered many passengers and crew unconscious, who then drowned in the rising tide. Failure of the captain to interpret his instrument indications properly during flap retraction after the gear was re-extended. The plane was attemping to return to the Rio de Janeiro after severe vibrations in the No. 1 engine made the crew feather the prop. While on final the aircraft came in too high and a go-around was attempted during which the plane crashed into the sea. Lack of reference to instruments after opening the throttle to go-around in restricted visibility. Power may have been inadvertently reduced on the good engine. Stalled and crashed during a test flight. Crashed in the Alps on the French/Italian border while en Page 988 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 route. The instrument flight plan the pilot filed indicated a cruising height that was lower than the authorized minimum altitude required to clear the mountains. The aircraft disappeared approximately 300 miles east of Ocean City, Maryland and no trace of the wreckage or bodies was ever found. Disappeared 350 miles off the Maryland coast. Crashed during takeoff. An error of judgement on the part of the pilot-in-command in that he took the aircraft into the air at a speed below the minimum control speed, following loss of directional control during the ground run. Disappeared over the Andes while en route. Wreckage found 12/04/1954. The aircraft crashed during an ILS approach to Berlin. Premature and unauthorized Page 992 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Premature and unauthorized instrument descent to an altitude that did not permit terrain clearance. Crashed en route on the company's first commercial flight.



The cargo plane crashed into a mountain. The plane crashed into approach lights of the runway during the fourth landing attempt at Idlewild Airport, sinking into Jamaica Bay. An erratiapproach which resulted in a descent to an altitude too low to avoid striking the pier. A contributing factor was pilot fatigue due to the particular and difficult circumstances including two and one-half hours in a holding pattern. Ditched into the Monongahela River after running out of fuel. Inadequate flight planning. Contributing factors were Page 996 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Contributing factors were inadequate crew supervision and training. Crashed short of the runway, landing hard. Pilot error. Errors of judgement on the part of the captain in starting his final approach to land at too steep an angle and flaring out too late and too severely with the result that the aircraft sank and hit the ground short of the runway.



Crashed during takeoff. Disappeared while on a training mission. Possibility, the two planes collided in midair. Midair collision at 700-900 feet. The DC-3 entered the airport's control space without clearance or communication with the tower. Thirteen killed on the Martin, two crew on the DC-3. Almost complete loss of elevator control and severe vibration was experienced shortly after taking

The captain then reduced power and headed for open country where the aircraft safely made an emergency wheels up landing in a corn field. A series of omissions made by maintenance personnel during a scheduled inspection which resulted in the release of the aircraft in an unairworthy condition and an almost complete loss of elevator control during flight. Crashed into the Caqueta river while landing. Crashed into a field shortly after takeoff. The aircraft crashed as a result of slipping into the ground in the course of a poorly executed steep turn to port, carried out at night at a low altitude.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 after a wing failed. A design flaw in the wing led to fatigue cracks and wing failure. Crashed into a mountain while on approach. Navigational error due to failure to use radio equipment. After taking off from Albuquerque, the aircraft flew a path directly towards Sandia Mountain and crashed into it. While initially blaming the pilots of intentionally flying the plane into the mountain, five years later, the CAB changed the probable cause to 'deviation from course for reasons unknown' and admitted there may have been a problem with the flux gauge compass. The pilot began taking off and retracted the landing gear when smoke was observed in the cockpit. He attempted to belly land the plane. The propellers separated and penetrated the fuselage killing the fight Page 1008 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 engineer. The presence of smoke in the flight crew compartment in sufficient quantity to make the captain apprehensive of fire and to cause him to land the aircraft immediately with the landing gear retracted. A fractured rubber hose on the port engine connecting the rocker box of one of the lower cylinders to the collector box caused smoke to enter the wheel well and into the crew compartment. After an aborted landing attempt due to a unlocked landing gear, the plane made a left turn, hit a pole, crashed and burned. Pilot error. Improper use of the throttles by the crew following the go-around. Failure of the landing gear locking mechanism. Crashed in a hilly region between Talpa and Mascota.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 aboard. Wreckage found one month later. The plane crashed 1.25 miles short of the runway while attempting to land. Crew's inattention to flight instruments during approach. Pilot sensory illusion which gave a false impression of the aircraft's altitude. The aircraft returned to Hickam Airfield because of inoperative high-frequency radio transmitters. As the plane was descending to land, it crashed into Pali Kea peak, 15 miles northwest of Honolulu. Navigational error by the crew brought the plane 8 miles north of its intended position. The plane ditched 35 miles off the Oregon coast after the No. 3 engine and propeller broke away causing severe control difficulties. The plane sank after 20 minutes.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 following failure of the No. 3 propeller which resulted in wrenching free the No. 3 power package. The aircraft was named 'Clipper United States.' The cargo plane flew into a thunderstorm and crashed into the sea while en route. Suddenly dove into the ground. Unintentional movement of no.4 throttle into the reverse range just before breaking ground, with the other three engines operating at high power output, which resulted in the aircraft very quickly becoming uncontrollable once airborne. An explosion occurred at 18,000 feet while over the China Sea. A resulting fire which started on the starboard wing soon spread and eventually led to total hydrauliand electrical failure. Smoke filled the cockpit and the plane crashed. An act of political terrorism. An aircraft worker placed an incendiary device in Page 1020 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 crashed into trees and caught fire. Crashed in a mountainous area in the Zimathan district while en route. While on instrument approach, the aircraft hit a sign and crashed through the airport boundry fence. Momentary disorientation caused by the loss of visual reference during the final visual phase of the approach resulting in an increased rate of descent at an altitude too low to effect recovery. On a flight from London, England to Tel Aviv, the aircraft drifted over Bulgarian airspace and was shot down by Bulgarian jet fighters. A navigational error that probably originated with an incorrect radio compass indication due to the effects of thunderstorm activity in the area. The aircraft attempted an Page 1028 of 4941

The captain's commitment to a landing without radio or visual confirmation of his runway alignment following engine failure immediately after takeoff. Crashed into the Cameroon mountains after the wing separated due to severe turbulence. For reasons undetermined, the right engine failed and as a result of being overloaded, the aircraft did not maintain altitude on one engine and struck the ground with the right wingtip. A possible contributing factor was the failure of the co-pilot's vacuum-driven gyro instruments, without his knowledge. Page 1036 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 knowledge. Crash landed in a sandstorm on the fourth landing attempt. The plane came in too low, struck a line of trees and crashed 1,200 yards short of the runway. Pilot error. In an error in judgement, the captain who allowed his desire to keep the runway lights in view failed to make adequate reference to his flight instruments. The cargo plane lost 3 engines and ditched into the PacifiOcean. The loss of power in three engines due to incorrect fuel system management and faulty restarting methods which resulted in the ditching of the aircraft. Crashed in adjacent mountains while attempting an emergency landing following an engine fire. The aircraft crashed into cloud covered Medicine Bow Peak while en route. The plane failed to clear the 12,013 ft. peak by Page 1040 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 approach and missed approach procedure came too late to prevent the aircraft from descending into the ground. Flew into the water upon approach. The pilot relied on inadequate external visual reference for determining the altitude and paid insufficient attention to the instruments. The irregular approach procedure carried out by the pilot in command deprived him of the opportunity to monitor the safe approach to the aerodrome through the correlation of time, height and position. Loss of the No. 2 engine necessitated a forced crash landing near a railway station. Failure to maintain height at night due to the loss of the starboard engine in icing conditions. The aircraft was also overloaded. Crashed in the Tatra mountains while en route. Page 1056 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 plane permitted the aircraft to descend below the approved safety height and this resulted in the aircraft striking the ground. The cargo plane crashed en route. A downdraft which forced down the fully loaded aircraft to the ground when it was flying under exceptionally severe weather conditions below 1000 ft. and possibly at a few hundred feet above the terrain.



The aircraft yawed to the left and crashed shortly after takeoff after a fire warning occurred on the No.1 engine. The cause of the fire warning was a failed exhaust connector clamp in the left engine, which triggered an adjacent fire detecting unit. A windmilling left propeller, the extended landing gear, and the takeoff flaps produced sufficient drag to make the airplane lose altitude and strike the ground.

The plane struck an object in the water while landing and broke up. The aircraft made a sudden turn to the right while talking off from Stansted. Overcorrection by the pilot in command which caused the aircraft to veer to the right. The aircraft touched down at an excessive speed, bounced and stalled. Go-around power was applied, but the remaining runway length was insufficient and the plane overran the end of the runway and went down a steep slope and crashed.

Something malfunctioned on the fighter and the jet crashed into a convent operated by the Grey Nuns of the Cross, at over 680 miles an hour, destroying the three story, 70 room convent. Crashed into a mountain shortly after taking off. Loss of height and airspeed caused by the aircraft encountering a thunderstorm cell which gave rise to a sudden reversal of wind direction, heavy rain, and possible downdraught conditions. About 1.5 hours after taking off from New York, the pilot radioed the No. 2 propeller was overspeeding and could not be feathered. Upon trying to return to New York the plane caught fire and crashed into the AtlantiOcean.

Both planes were traveling about 320 mph. Both aircraft were flying in uncontrolled airspace. All fiftyeight on the DC-7 and seventy on the Constellation killed. The pilots did not see each other in time to avoid the collision. It is not possible to determine why the pilots did not see each other, but the evidence suggests that it resulted from any one or a combination of the following factors: 1) Intervening clouds reducing time for visual separation 2) Visual limitations Page 1084 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The plane disappeared over the Atlantiwhile on a flight from Royal Air Force Base in England to McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey. Cause unknown. The aircraft ditched into the PacifiOcean while on a flight from San Francisco to Honolulu after losing the No. 1 and then the No. 4 engine. The aircraft circled around the U.S. Coast Guard cutter 'Pontchartrain', at Ocean Station November until daybreak after which it made a successful ditching with no casualties. Probable Cause: 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. The aircraft was named 'Clipper Sovereign of the Sky.' Page 1096 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The cargo plane crashed after an attempted go-around. Disappeared while en route. While attempting to land the aircraft descended below the ILS glideslope and hit a tree. Using the lights of the airport the captain misjudged the height he was flying. The aircraft took off, experienced icing, lost altitude and crashed into Hommelfjell Mountain. Unusually heavy icing which the aircraft encountered. Severe downdraft immediately prior to the crash may have been a contributing factor. An unsuccessful belly landing was attempted on flat terrain following a fire in the fuel system. Incorrect use of flying controls during takeoff roll. Possible failure of left engine. Turbulent conditions close to ground. Hit El Rucio Mountain at 6,200 ft. which was obscured by Page 1100 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 plane crash into Quetame Hill, 25km northwest of Santa Cecilia Airport. Complete failure of the starboard engine due to the breakdown of the lubricating system. Recklessness of the pilot in taking off from a closed airport while aware of the poor weather conditions. The aircraft was also overloaded. The aircraft departed Vancouver en route to Calgary. Some 50 minutes later the pilot reported a fire in the No. 2 engine and was turning back. While flying under the power of 3 engines, the aircraft encountered severe icing, turbulence or other difficulty which led to the loss of control by the crew. It could not be determined why the aircraft was 12 miles south of the assigned airway. The plane crashed high into Mount Slesse. The bodies and wreckage were not found until 05/10/1957 and the wreckage still remains at the Page 1108 of 4941

The aircraft hit Concepcion volcano while en route. The aircraft made a left turn towards the volcano, banked sharply in descent, enered a rapid climb and then crashed. Unexplained loss of control. A first ILS attempt to land at Orly Airport failed. The crew decided to try a second time with GCA guidance. Full power was applied when the crew was not able to see the runway. The aircraft continued to descend impacting the ground in a right bank. The right wing separated and the main fuselage broke-up into four parts. Stalling, as a Page 1116 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 result of delayed application of power in a final approach configuration and inadequate control of heading, airspeed and altitude after the visual was lost. Midair collision between a DC-7 and F-89J Air Force fighter. The DC-7 crashed into a playground of a school killing 3 junior high school children 3 miles northwest of Sunland. The F-89 crashed into the mountains. Four crew members on the DC7 were killed. One crew member aboard the F-89 was killed and the other ejected to safety. The high rate of near head-on closure at high altitude, which together with physiological limitations, resulted in a minimum avoidance opportunity during which the pilots didn't see each other's aircraft. It was the first test flight of the DC-7B. One of the 3 students killed in the accident was the best friend of singer Richie Valens, who Page 1120 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 died in an airplane crash two years later. Archie Twitchell, test pilot and actor, 50, killed. The high rate of near head-on closure at high altitude in a minimum aviodance opportunity during which both pilots did not see the other aircraft. Shortly after lifting off from La Guardia Airport in a snowstorm, the plane rolled sharply to the left and crashed on Rikers Island. The failure of the captain to properly observe and interpret his flight instruments and maintain control of his aircraft. Several inmates from the Rikers Island Prison made some heroirescues and were later pardoned. The No. 3 engine seized, causing the propellor to come loose and slice through the side of the fuselage makng two full turns before exiting. It took two men out with it , idled the No. 4 engine and cut the throttle Page 1124 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 altitude. The plane landed safely after a dynamite bomb exploded in the rear lavatory. A passenger, Saul F. Binstock, 62, a retired North Hollywood jeweler, intent on suicide, detonated a bomb in the rear lavoratory blowing a 6 x 7 ft. hole in the fuselage. Binstock had purchased two insurance policies totaling $125,000 and then flew from Burbank to Las Vegas, where airport personnel at McCarran Field reported he never left the airport terminal. He then boarded the Western Airlines flight bound for Los Angeles and locked himself in the rear lavatory shortly after takeoff. Binstock’s body, missing several fingers on the left hand, was found the next day on a rugged peak in the Ord Mountains south of Daggett.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 during approach in fog. The pilot attempted to make a visual approach by descending prematurely in the approach area without adherence to the prescribed ILS approach procedure which was dictated by existing weather conditions. Flying VFR, the aircraft encountered fog during the approach, undershot the runway and crashed. Pilot error. The pilot did not appreciate that the air ambulance had rapidly lost height whilst he was making a visual half circuit to land. This could not have been due to the absence of sufficient visual reference in the prevailing conditions of darkness, very low cloud and drizzle. The urgent nature of the flight is considered to have influenced the pilot's decision to land. Crashed into the ocean on takeoff. While attempting to land at Page 1160 of 4941

The absence in the flight plan of a forecast showing the intensity of the meteorological phenomena encountered. Inadequate operational dispatch of the aircraft.



While taking off the plane stalled and hit trees. The uncontrollable stall at low altitude which resulted from the abrupt steep climb immediately after takeoff. Contributing factors were the improper loading of the aircraft and the prevailing gusty wind with a relatively high ambient temperature. The cargo plane crash landed short of the runway on the third landing attempt. The accident was due to an error on the part of the captain in that while Page 1172 of 4941

The aircraft lost all power during a simulated emergency maneuver and struck the water after descending from a altitude of 1,000 ft. One of the crew moved an emergency shut-off lever in the wrong direction depriving all four engines of their fuel supply. The plane hit the water and broke in two. It was ruled the check pilot had failed to initiate remedial action when the aircraft began to lose altitude and failed to exercise authority when the real emergency developed. The flying boat sank in Buenos Aires harbor while trying to make an emergency landing after losing an engine. The cargo plane lost the No. 1 Page 1176 of 4941

The plane was unable to stop and slid off the runway striking rocks and catching fire. Failure of No. 4 engine. Malfunctioning of the starboard brakes. Crashed shortly after taking off. Improper observation and interpretation of instruments. The captain did not properly observe and interpret his flight instruments and thus inadvertently permitted the aircraft to descend to the ground immediately after a night takeoff during which no visual reference was possible. The two aircraft collided at an altitude of 3,000 feet scattering wreckage over a residential and business area of suburban Los Angeles.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 A fire in fligth caused by a failure of the No. 1 engine. During the ensuing forced landing on rough terrain the aircraft broke up and was consumed by fire. Crashed into mountains 100 miles southwest of Algiers. The cargo plane crashed. A hard landing in heavy rain and gusty winds at Manila caused the collapse of the right main landing gear. A prop broke off the No. 3 engine, penetrated the cabin and killed one passenger. The aircraft was named 'Clipper Golden Gate.' The plane crashed into La Latilla mountain 13 km west of Guadalajara. The aircraft did not climb out in accordance with approved procedures. Following the trainee-pilot's failure to maintain minimumcontrol speed during an attempted go-around, the instructor-pilot failed to take Page 1208 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 instructor-pilot failed to take control of the aircraft in sufficient time to prevent a critical loss of altitude. A contributing factor was the malfunction of the landing gear latch which delayed retraction of the landing gear and caused the distraction of the instructor-pilot for several seconds during a critical period of the go-around. Crashed during approach after encountering a downdraft. Missed the runway and collided with a tree. Windshear. While manoeuvring at a low height in mountainous terrain during a supply dropping mission the port wing of the cargo plane grazed the side of a hill thus causing the aircraft to slew and crash. A contributory factor might have been the mismanagement of the fuel system which caused temporary loss of engine power and height. The aircraft crashed while Page 1212 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 instantly. It appeared, the pilot became disoriented and flew the plane into the ground. Officially: The pilot's decision to undertake a flight in which the likelihood of encountering IFR conditions existed, when he was not certified to fly IFR. Also, deficiencies in the weather briefing and the pilot's unfamiliarity with the instrument which determines the attitude of the aircraft. In later years, a story appeared in the Iowa Globe Gazette in which a pilot, Al Potter, flying in the vicinity of the aircraft that night, claimed he was in contact with the aircraft shortly before it crashed. Potter stated the pilot radioed he had taken on ice and was losing power. While attempting to land in rain and fog at La Guardia Airport, the aircraft descended below the minimum altitude and crashed into the East River. The Page 1252 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 aircraft struck the water while in shallow descent at 150 mph with its landing gear and flaps extended. Primarily the crash resulted from the failure of the crew to properly monitor essential instruments for determining attitude due to preoccupation with particular aspects of the aircraft and its environment. Limited experience of the crew with this particular type of aircraft. Erroneous setting of the captain's altimeter. Possibly misinterpretation of the altimeter and rate of descent indicator. While on approach, the jet lost its wings and had its engines torn off as it ploughed 300 yards through the woods and landed upside down with trees embedded in the mangled fuselage and burst into flames. The flight had been diverted to Gatwick because of fog at London. Cause unknown. Page 1256 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The trainee captain attempted a maneuver in disregard of the prescribed limitations of such a maneuver. A two-engine overshoot was attempted at a very low height and below the prescribed minimum speed, when the aircraft was committed to a landing. This resulted in a violent yaw and sharp drop which could not be controlled. The training captain was conversant with the minimum requirements of a two-engine overshoot of the Viscount 815 aircraft but appears to have overestimated his performance. The crew failed to recognize and correct the development of excessive yaw which caused an unintentional rolling maneuver at an altitude too low to permit complete recovery. Nineteen minutes after taking off and while climbing, the aircraft entered a cloud and struck Mt. Monseny. Pilot did not follow Page 1280 of 4941

The cargo plane took off, rose to 200 ft., stalled and crashed. Elevator control lost. The aft link assembly became disconnected from the clevis in the elevator control horn assembly when an improperly secured bolt backed out. An in-flight explosion occurred in the passenger cabin. A male passenger, who was believed to have been carrying a bomb, fell from the airplane from an altitude of 11,000ft. A forced landing was made at Poza Rica after a fire broke out in the cabin. Shortly after taking off, the cargo plane deviated from it's intended course and struck a mountain, for reasons unknown.

Crashed shortly after takeoff, not gaining altitude and colliding with trees. Crew did not properly monitor altimeter. Crashed into a mountain while on approach to Adak. Improper approach. Crew error. Pilot did not fly in accordance with visual flight rules over hazardous terrain. In-flight separation of the left wing resulted in the aircraft crashing 3 miles southeast of Buffalo, Texas. A design flaw caused an oscillation known as mode to transfer propeller wobble to the outboard nacelles which induced flutter in the wing which led to the separation of the wing. One of two accidents with the same cause. See 3/17/1960. Moments after rotation the left engine exploded and caught Page 1288 of 4941

The only fatality was the first officer who was thrown clear of the accident still strapped to his seat. The number 5 cylinder of the left engine failed leading to an explosion that deformed the left engine's ring cowl to a degree that cause excessive drag and buffeting that made sustained flight impossible. Maintenance records showed the engine had a troubling number of oil leaks. Engine failure on takeoff. The plane crashed 5 minutes later. Failure of the gudgeon pin bearing of the No.6 piston of the left engine. Crashed into Bucks Elbow Mountain during an ILS approach to Charlottesville Airport.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 before the lone survivor was rescued. A navigational omission which resulted in a lateral course error that was not detected and corrected through precision instrument flying procedures. Mental breakdown of captain during flight. The cargo plane exploded in midair while en route after an engine fire. The aircraft crashed into the Gulf of Mexico at 29 degrees 13 minutes N, 88 degrees 40 minutes W or about 108 miles east-southeast of New Orleans, while on a flight from Tampa to New Orleans. Sabotage (explosion of a bomb aboard) was strongly suspected but could never be proven due to lack of physical evidence. There is a possibility that there is a connection between this crash and the National Airlines crash of January 6, 1960. No one was charged in either case. Page 1296 of 4941

Shortly after taking off the plane experienced a fire warning in the No. 2 engine, shut it down and attempted to return to Midway Airport. During the final approach the aircraft banked in excess of 45 degrees and developed an excessive sink rate. When the aircraft reached the tops of trees its wings were nearly level and its nose was raised in a climbing attitude but the descent continued and the plane crashed one quarter of a mile southeast of the airport. The accident was the consequence of manuvering the aircraft during the turn to final approach in such a manner as to cause a rate of sink from which recovery was not possible. Sometime during the turn the flaps were retracted from 60% to 24% causing a loss of lift. Crashed into Bald Eagle Page 1300 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 error in navigation which caused the pilot to enter the wrong valley. During an attempt to turn back in a restricted area, the aircraft stalled and crashed. The plane disintegrated in flight at 18,000 feet and crashed 1.5 miles northwest of Bolivia, North Carolina. Detonation of a dynamite bomb by means of dry cell batteries, in the vicinity of row 7, in the passenger cabin. The plane continued to fly for a short time after which the fuselage came apart and the plane crashed in a ball of flames. Julian Frank, who had purchased 1 million dollars in insurance, was suspected of committing suicide by detonating the bomb in his lap or under his seat. There is a possibility Frank may have been an unwitting bomb carrier and that this bombing has something to do with the National Airlines crash of November, 16, 1959. Page 1312 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 No one was charged in either case. Missing, never found. The aircraft crashed and burned in a wooded area, striking the ground in a level attitude. The delayed arming of the engine ice-protection systems while flying through icing conditions, causing eventual flame-out of the four engines. This condition existed for sufficient time to cause a drop in battery electrical energy, preventing the unfeathering and relighting of sufficient engines to maintain flight. The aircraft was then dived in an effort to attain sufficient airspeed to drive the propellers out of the feathered positions by wind-milling. At the same time, multiple attempts were made to relight one or more engines. Successful relights were either interrupted by auto-feather action initiated Page 1316 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 by premature advancing of the throttles prior to complete light up of an engine or prevented by insufficient battery electrical energy. No. 4 engine was eventually relit and the crew had just successfully relit No. 3 engine when the aircraft crashed. While on a flight from Istanbul to Ankara, Turkey the aircraft crashed while on approach to Esenboga Airport, 6 nm short of the runway. The aircraft struck the ground at an elevation of 3,500 ft, between the Ankara mountain range and the airport. An unintentional descent below the authorized minimum flight altitude during final approach to Esenboga Airport for reasons that could not be determined. The aircraft was named Orm Viking.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Lost altitude shortly after taking off and crashed. Cause unknown. Crashed during approach. Crashed en route. Mid-air collision with a Japan Air Self Defence Force F-86 fighter which was taking off from Nagoya. Both planes crashed but the F-86 pilot ejected safely. An in-flight separation of the wing. A design flaw caused an oscillation known as whirl mode to transfer propeller wobble to the outboard nacelles which induced flutter in the wing which led to the separation of the wing. Reduced stiffness of the structure and the entry of the aircraft into an area of severe clear air turbulence were contributing factors. One of two crashes with the same cause. See 9/29/59. Forced landing after engine failure. The accident was Page 1328 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 failure. The accident was attributed to an error in judgment by the pilot in deciding to land at an airport which was closed and where no radio aid was available. Contributing factors were intermittent overspeeding of propellers, adverse weather and no communication tower. Flew into a hill shortly after taking off. Engine failure due to a fatigue crack at a valve. While taking off, the plane drifted to the right, overcorrected to the left and struck two other aircraft. Pilot error. Incorrect use of the brakes and controls while on the ground. Struck a mountain Failed to gain altitude on take off and struck a hill. Crashed during final approach.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 could not be determined. The aircraft failed to maintain its intended flight path and crashed into the face of Mt. Gilbert at 9,646 ft. after taking off from Cordova. The crew's failure to use all available navigational aids in establishing the aircraft's position on Amber I Airway thereby allowing the aircraft to proceed off course over dangerous terrain. A contributing factor to the accident was the failure of air defense radar, which had been tracking the aircraft, to notify either ARTCC or the crew that the aircraft was proceeding on a dangerous course. Crashed into Guanabara Bay during approach. Cause undetermined. The airship crashed nose-first into the AtlantiOcean, 10 miles off the coast of New Jersey.

The aircraft was carrying American servicemen and dependants. Less than a minute after taking off, the aircraft crashed on Mt. Barrigada bursting into flames on impact. The casualties were more attributable to the effects of the fire than the crash. Failure of the pilot to comply with published departure procedures by initiating a right turn before attaining an altitude of 1,000 ft. The plane crashed after transmitting a message that the No. 3 engine was on fire and they were diverting to Okinawa. The fire in the No. 3 engine was extinguished but a residual fire continued in a tire until it ignited the fuel tank resulting in an explosion. Page 1360 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 tested positive for alcohol. In addition, the pilot did not have enough sleep the night before and was not considered to be in satisfactory mental and physical condition to undertake the flight. An aborted takeoff caused the aircraft to crash through the airport barrier fence and burst into flames. The unnecessary discontinuance of the takeoff as a result of actions by the checkpilot who was either not in the pilot's seat or reached forward without warning and pulling the throttles back. This action caused power to be decreased on all four engines. Contributing factors were the marginally poor weather, snow on the runway and the possibility of the pitot head heat not being on. While returning from an aborted barrier mission, the aircraft hit a seawall at end of short runway. The main landing geart was sheared off and the aircraft Page 1388 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 crashed. Five minutes after taking off from Lisbon, Portugal, the aircraft plunged into the AtlantiOcean. There were indications from the wreckage that the aircraft went into a spiral dive and hit the water at over 500 mph. Either through inattentiveness or loss of an artificial horizon or other instrument malfunction, the aircraft went into a steep left bank from which recovery was not possible. Attitude of the aircraft at the moment of impact pointed to over correction. Crashed into power lines during the approach, 4 km short of the runway. Crew's neglect to cockpit duties. Error in judgement on the part of the captain, who, after sighting the runway lights, concentrated on keeping them in sight and failed to make adequate reference to his flight Page 1400 of 4941

Asymmetrical thrust during the landing attempt due to a hydrauliemergency. Numbers 1 & 2 thrust reversers failed. The crew failed to activate the backup high-pressure air bottle used to hold the reverse ejectors in the extended position during a hydrauliemergency. Poor evacuation procedures. A contributing factor was the failure of the first officer to monitor the thrust reverse indicator lights when applying reverse thrust and the crew's lack of training and knowledge on the aircraft's hydraulisystem. The driver of the maintenance truck was killed. On reaching Rabat, the plane was diverted to Casablanca because of poor ground visibility. Conditions at Page 1408 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Secretary General, Dag Hammarskjöld, 56, killed. The aircraft was allowed to descend too low, resulting in striking trees and crashing. Although the United Nations released a statement that no evidence of sabotage was found, rumors persist about this accident alleging that the victims were shot prior to the crash or that a bomb onboard exploded. Takeoff and Initial climb appeared to be normal, but at approximately 200 feet a shallow turn to the right continued into a gradually increasing bank of about 85 to 90 degrees. While in the turn, the crew made a short, garbled transmission indicating alarm. During the latter part of the turn a gradual descent began and, two minutes after taking off, the aircraft struck the ground.

Improper evaluation of distance, flying a non-standard traffipattern by night and failing to observe altitude minima during the final approach. Flown under a military contract, several procedural errors by the crew caused the loss of 2 engines. After several more errors, the aircraft crashed into a wooded area. Most deaths from post-impact fire and CO. Lack of command coordination and decision, faulty judgement and insufficient knowledge that led to an emergency situation. In addition there were faulty maintenance procedures. The carrier's license was revoked 6 weeks after the crash. Went missing en route. After reaching an altitude of about 100 m, the aircraft lost altitude, collided with a eucalyptus forest and was Page 1432 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 unwanted rudder deployment, yaw, sideslip and roll which led to loss of control of the aircraft. This was caused by the use of an improper tool at the manufacturing plant to wrap the rudder servo unit's wiring, damaging the wires and leading to a short circuit. There is speculation that the accident was actually caused by the captain putting the aircraft in a steep 45 degree bank which resulted in the loss of control of the aircraft. The aircraft had a unusually long take-off run and appeared to gain altitude with difficulty. One and one-half miles from the runway the aircraft struck trees and crashed into a tidal swamp and burst into flames. A jammed right elevator spring tab caused the crew to lose of control of the aircraft. Crashed into a mountain. Error in judgement by the pilot-inPage 1448 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Navigational error. Shortly after takeoff, a fire warning indication caused the pilot to feather the propeller on the No. 1 engine. Fuel was jettisoned, and the flight returned to Honolulu for landing approximately 40 minutes after departure. The three-engine landing approach appeared normal until the aircraft had proceeded beyond the runway threshold and had commenced its landing flare at an altitude of approximately 20 feet above the runway centerline. A go-around was attempted from this position and the aircraft banked and veered sharply to the left. Initial ground contact was made by the left wing tip approximately 550 feet to the left of the runway centerline. The aircraft progressively disintegrated as it moved across the ground, then struck heavy earth-movingequipment parked Page 1480 of 4941

Following departure from Philadelphia, a high frequency whistling noise was heard and inspection revealed an escape of air at the lower aft corner of the rear service door. Pillow cases were placed in this area to reduce the air noise but no further action was taken. While the aircraft was descending through 4,000 feet the door blew out. The ensuing outward rush of air ejected a flight attendant who was near the door opening. Undetected insecure latching of the rear service door, resulting in an inflight explosive decompression which ejected a flight attendant from the aircraft. Crashed on takeoff on a test flight.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 altitude for undetermined reasons. The pilot carried out the final stage of approach below the normal glide path with insufficient engine power, as a result of which the speed of descent was too high in relation to the horizontal distance still to be covered to the beginning of the runway. Consequently, the aircraft, at a high vertical speed, hit a dyke, after facing the direction of approach. Crashed into Mt. Renoso at 7,450 ft. Crew fatigue. Inadequate preparation for the flight. Entered cruise at a high rate of speed. Navigational errors. Failed to maintain safe altitude. Decent started prematurely. The helicopter overshot the landing pad and crashed into the water.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 beyond the threshold and on the left edge of Runway 28L. Continuation of an instrument approach after adequate visual reference was lost below authorized minimums. Inadequate monitoring of the instrument approach by the PAR controller was a contributing factor. The plane stalled and crashed. The aircraft crashed 37 miles west-southwest of Miami after penetrating a thunderstorm and encountering severe turbulence. The aircraft initially entered an area of updrafts followed by downdrafts which put the aircraft into a high speed dive. While trying to pull out of the dive, the aircraft broke apart from excessive g forces. The crew is believed to have concentrated on maintaining a given airspeed in an extreme turbulence condition instead of flying attitude. In doing so, excessive Page 1528 of 4941

After the landing gear did not retract after takeoff the flight was diverted to Leningrad because of fog. After circling for a long time the plane began to lose it's engines because of fuel starvation and a ditch was carried out in River Neva. A mid-air collision occurred approximately 700 miles east of Miami, Florida. Prior to departure from Zurich Airport, the pilot,, without authorization, taxied half way down the runway in order to clear fog. The aircraft then went back to the beginning of the runway and took off only to crash 10 minutes later, 15 miles WSW of Zurich.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The airliner was on a flight from Baltimore to Philadelphia. The aircraft was in a holding pattern along with 5 other planes when the control tower received a Mayday message. The plane was seen going down in flames and crashed 10 miles southwest of New Castle, Delaware. The aircraft was struck by lightning. Lightning induced ignition of fuel tank vapors. Within two weeks after the accident, the FAA ordered lightning discharge wicks to be installed on all commercial jet airliners. The aircraft was named Clipper Tradewind. The cargo plane struck a mountain while en route. A wrong estimation of the wind speed and direction resulted in a navigation error which brought the aircraft 42 nm from the approved air route. Possible contributing factors were: lack of weather forecast prior to takeoff, Page 1572 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 was never determined, but it is thought the plane's battery or something in a passenger's luggage caused the fire. Testing revealed lethal amounts of CO2 could be discharged into the cockpit instead of the lower baggage compartment. The plane was seen flying erratically and the fire eventually burned through the controls. It is likely the crew was unconscious by then. Crashed into mountains. Pilot deviated from direct course and got lost. Landed 17 feet short of the runway threshold, tore off the landing gear, slid and caught fire. Pilot misjudged altitude and distance and undershot during landing. The aircraft crashed during an intense rainstorm into dense woods 6.5 miles south of the Nashville airport, while on a return trip from Batesville Page 1616 of 4941

He attempted to divert to Bacolod but could not climb to avoid terrain and crashed into a fish pond while attempting to ditch in the sea. Failure to maintain safe single engine speed and altitude following failure of the left engine. The precipitation and poor visibility prevailing at the time of the accident over Kalibo and its vicinity and the failure on the part of the maintenance personnel to take action to correct discrepancies logged in the aircraft log-book, individually or collectively contributed to the cause of the accident. Cashed on takeoff. The cargo plane flew off course and struck a mountain in the San Bruno range. The pilot, for undetermined reasons, deviated from departure course into an Page 1636 of 4941

Only the Salt Lake and Cincinnati crashes were officially attributed to it. After 727 training manuals were modified and pilots were reoriented to the flying characteristics of the aircraft the problem was corrected. After making a request to change course to avoid heavy weather the positioning flight suddenly descended and crashed. The overall atmosphericonditions in the vicinity of Jeuk and the circumstances of the accident were such that it was assumed that the pilot lost control of the Page 1680 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 emergency procedures. Crashed after rear engine mount failed leading to inflight failure. Cashed in poor weather. Misjudgment of the terrain clearance, which resulted in the collision with trees in severe turbulence and strong gusty winds. The incurrence of reverse thrust during simulated failure of no. 4 engine on takeoff. That condition arose when very rapid rearward movement of the power level generated an inertia force which caused the associated thrust brake lever to rise and enter the reverse idle detent. After lift-off, the minimum control speed essentially required to overcome the prevailing state of thrust imbalance was never attained and an uncontrollable roll, accompanied by some degree of yaw and sideslip in the same Page 1744 of 4941

When the condition of reverse thrust was recognized and eliminated, insufficient time and height were available to allow the aircraft to recover from its precarious attitude before it struck the ground. The aircraft stalled during an emergency single engine approach. Both engines failed as the approach continued. The plane came to rest in a shallow pond on the golf course. Fuel starvation. Mismanagement of fuel. Pro golfer Tony Lema and his wife, Betty, was killed. He was on a Buick promotional tour. The cargo aircraft was not being flown at the recommended altitude when it reached mountains to be crossed, nor whas it at the proper crossing point. A secondary factor was the lack of Page 1748 of 4941

Ditched in the ocean after running out of fuel after a problem caused excessive fuel consumption. Decision to continue a flight with both engines impaired until ditching at night became inevitable, instead of making an emergency daytime landing on any of the various runways in the area at a time when the situation made it clear that this operation was inevitable. Crashed into a glacial crevasse. Undetermined cause. The plane crashed into forest during a landing attempt at Ljubljana Airport. The crew's failure to follow proper landing procedures. Improperly set altimeter. Captain failed to adjust his altimeter (he remained on QNH instead of changing to QFE) and the crew failed to cross-check altimeters. Page 1756 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Struck a hill while simulating an engine failure. An overspeeding and failed attempt to feather the No. 1 engine necessitated ditching the plane. The plane sank after 5 minutes. One passenger refused to leave the aircraft and drowned. About 150 miles from Longreach, fire was reported in No. 1 and 2 engines. While the plane was making an emergency descent, the left wing broke away due to weakening by the fire. After failure of the wing, the plane broke up in mid-air and crashed. Loosened bolts led to the loss of the oil lubricating unit causing the bearings to heat and catching the engines on fire. Subsequently, a locking mechanism was installed on the bolts to prevent any future accidents of this kind. The cargo plane struck trees at Page 1760 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 the end of the runway after trying to make an emergency landing. Material failure consisting in fatigue failure of a number of teeth of the pinion of the governor control unit, which was jammed against the rack in the 'up' position and therefore set for maximum rpm, thus causing the engine to overspeed. This would be in keeping with the fact that the dome ring was at maximum low pitch setting, i.e. high rpm and a runway propeller on take-off. The plane crashed into Salmon Mountain while on approach to Portland. The pilots evidently had agreed to maintain 9,000 feet, but descended instead. The aircraft hit the mountain at the 3,830-foot level of a 4,090foot ridge. The crew's descent below its clearance limit and below that of surrounding obstructing terrain for reasons unknown. First crash of a DC-9. Page 1764 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Struck a mountain. Suffered complete engine failure and tried to return to the airport but crashed. Fuel contaminated with water. Crashed on approach, landing short of the runway, collapsing the landing gear. Awkward landing technique resulting in excessive rate of sink. Contributing factors include narrow runway, uneven runway necessitating landing as close to the threshold as possible and marginal weather conditions. While landing, the crew was unable to move the throttles into reverse position. The plane was not able to go-around and a ground loop was attempted. The aircraft ran off the runway into a ditch and the left wing tank ruptured and caught fire. Probable failure of the reverse pitch control mechanism. Crashed after undershooting the runway.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 crashed into a bridge and some houses. Midair collision. Twenty five killed on the DC-9, one on the Beechcraft. Failure of the DC-9 crew to see and avoid the Beechcraft. The DC-9 was traveling at almost 300 mph at low altitude in airspace occupied by numerous small planes. The contributing factor to the accident was the excessive speed of the DC-9. ATC systems inadequate to separate controlled and uncontrolled traffic. After this accident, the FAA imposed a maximum speed of 250 knots below 10,000 ft. mean sea level. Crashed and exploded while en route. The aircraft struck the northwestern slope of Stukel Mountain just after takeoff. Loss of control due to ice accretion on airframe surfaces. The pilot should have required that dePage 1796 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Inadvertent fuel transfer in flight on a scale sufficient to involve the risk, after a long flight, of emptying the tank expected to contain sufficient fuel can occur if the fuel selector levers in the cockpit of this type of aircraft are incorrectly positioned by even a small amount. This is easy to do and difficult for the pilot to recognize. Broke-up in mid air.



The pilot attempted an overshoot maneuver, following the stoppage of the port engine, at too low a speed (below the minimum control speed) resulting in an uncontrollable turn towards the Airport buildings. Crashed into a residential neighborhood while attempting to return to the airport following an engine failure.

The plane crashed after an aborted takeoff caused the plane to break apart and catch fire. An unintentional stall and incipient spin at a low altitude from which recovery was not possible. Collided with a US Air Force Lockheed RF-4C Phantom II. The flight crashed after an inflight fire destroyed the pitch control systems. Incorrect installation of a valve caused hot air to ignite hydraulifluid. The fire resulted from engine bleed air flowing back through the malfunctioning non-return valve and an open air delivery valve, through the auxiliary power unit in a reverse Page 1820 of 4941

While on the takeoff roll a loud bang was heard as the aircraft passed a Delta plane and the takeoff was aborted. The aircraft overran the runway and crashed and burned. The inability of the TWA crew to abort successfully their takeoff at the speed attained prior to the attempted abort. The abort was understandably initiated because of the first officer's belief that his plane had collided with a Delta aircraft stopped just off the runway. A contributing factor was the action of the Delta crew in advising the tower that their plane was clear of the runway without carefully Page 1840 of 4941

The plane climbed to 700 ft. and crashed into the ground. Malfunctioning artificial horizon and compass. The aircraft struck a tree short of the runway during an approach in snow. Procedural errors by the crew during the approach in adverse weather. The visual approach conducted at night and in deteriorating weather conditions without adequate altimeter crossreference. The approach was conducted using visual reference to partially lighted irregular terrain which may have been conducive to producing an illusionary sense of adequate terrain clearance. Cause undetermined. Page 1844 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 flight into adverse weather conditions. Crashed into a mountain south of Dong Ha airfield. The aircraft hit Mt. Tobin 300 ft. below the peak and slid 1,000 ft. down the side of the mountain. Turbulent conditions caused the uncontrolled descent. The pilot was not qualified for the type of aircraft and should not have continued the flight. Ice accretion on the lifting surface of the aircraft accompanied by moderate to severe turbulence, which resulted in loss of aircraft control by the pilot. When he tried to regain control over the aircraft the lifting surfaces were loaded beyond approved design limits, which brought about the disintegration of main parts of the aircraft in the air, and its subsequent impact with the ground.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The aircraft flew into the side of Mt. Jaiskibel after turned in the wrong direction. Midair collision. Ninety-six killed on the An-12, 24 on the IL-14. A mid-air collision between three helicopters at 900 ft. (6616202) (66-16592) (66-16601). Passenger inadvertentlly opened air stair door in flight, safety chain failed and passenger fell out. The cargo plane's left wing struck the ground, the plane struck two other planes, burst into flames and came to rest on its back near a building. Failure of the port flap operating rod due to fatigue, permitting the port flaps to retract. This resulted in a rolling moment to port which could not be controlled. Crashed while en route. Only right wing tip recovered. Undetermined probable cause.

Engine failure on climb out for undetermined reasons. Aircraft allowed to enter condition of asymmetrical thrust. Improper emergency procedures. Aircraft overloaded by 475 lbs. The plane landed in the shallow waters of San Francisco Bay, 2.5 mile short of the Runway 28L. All 107 people aboard were safely evacuated off the plane without injury. According to the NTSB, the captain said he was making a coupled approach, but because of problems with his pressure altimeter, he was relying on the more accurate radio altimeter for verification of altitude. The captain looked up expecting to be 200 feet above the water but instead was nearly in the water. He applied power Page 1924 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 but it was too late. The captain did not cross-check the raw data glide-slope signals and didn't realize the ILS on-course position was far above where he was. The improper application of the prescribed procedures to execute an automatic-coupled ILS approach. This deviation from the prescribed procedures was, in part, due t o a lack of familiarization and infrequent operation of the installed flight director and autopilot system. As a result, Japan Air Lines changed their training procedures to stress command responsibilities, crew coordination and transition time for new type of aircraft. The aircraft was recovered from the San Francisco Bay 55 hours after the accident, repaired at a United Air Lines facility and eventually flow back to Japan where it was put in service for many decades.

Crashed into a mountain after being blown off course by a storm while en route. The aircraft crashed during an instrument approach after a goaround, nearly inverted, into a hangar. Spacial disorientation of the crew precipitated by refraction of the landing or approach lights during transition from flying IFR to visual reference to the ground. Crashed short of the runway while attempting to land. Crashed after the pilot experienced spatial disorientation in a whiteout. Page 1944 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Last radio contact from the aircraft was at 11:34 local 30 DME south of Port Hedland in moderate turbulence. The aircraft was seen descending rapidly. Wreckage was found 28 south of Port Hedland. The accident was caused by a crack originating at a bolt hole in the wing spar. Also, it was found that someone had carried out an incorrect procedure on the spar, by forcing an oversize bush into the housing of the lower spar boom, resulting in damage which exacerbated the spread of the hairline fracture. Crashed into a mountain. Encountered extreme turbulence and downdrafts while en route. The helicopter crashed into the water after a uncontrolled descent. Moisture in the servo cylinder vent ports froze causing the pilot valves ports to become inoperative causing the pitch Page 1948 of 4941

Shutting down the engine took the second generator offline leaving just one generator which became overloaded causing it to trip, resulting in the loss of all electrical power in the aircraft. For reasons undetermined, the battery standby switch was not turned on. At night, in rain, with no lights or instruments, the captain became disoriented and crashed into the PacifiOcean, 11.5 miles west of Los Angeles International Airport, four minutes after its initial takeoff roll. Battery backup for instruments was not required at the time. This crash prompted the FAA to require all transport category aircraft to have a standby attitude indicator which is powered by an independent source.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 crashed into the Babia Gora mountains. The aircraft deviated from its normal route in heavy fog for unknown reasons. As the helicopter was taking off in a vertical climb, there was a loss in rotor speed and the aircraft touched down on the edge of a ravine and rolled over causing the rotor blades to strike the ground and a fire to erupt. A fire in the left landing gear caused the plane to return for an emergency landing. After landing to a full stop, control was lost of the No.1 engine. Loss of control of the left main gear brakes caused the aircraft to circle to the right during the evacuation. Overheating of the starter selector relay during the starting of the No.1 and 2 engines. The proximity of a wire bundle to the relay provided a source of combustion for the initial fire. Page 1976 of 4941

The aircraft descended in a near vertical dive crashing to the ground. Unwanted change in longitudinal trim which resulted in a nose down high-speed flight condition that was beyond the physical capacity of the pilots to overcome. The initiating element in the accident sequence could not be specifically determined. However, design of the aircraft flight control system was conducive to malfunctions of the flight control systems which, if undetected by the crew could lead to loss of control. Collided with trees on a cloud covered mountain summit. The plane was 10 miles from its destination when it crashed. Weather was poor at the time of the accident. Crashed into lake while attempting to land. Aircraft Page 1992 of 4941

The aircraft was on a flight from Cauayan, Isabela to Manila when it crashed into mountainous terrain after an explosion in the rear lavatory of the aircraft broke off the tail section. Crashed after experiencing engine problems. Crashed after taking off from a dirt air strip. The flight was scheduled to fly from New York to St. Maarten. Because of poor visibility, the aircraft could not land at St. Maarten and was diverted to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Five minutes later the crew was told the weather had improved at St. Maarten and were directed back. After 3 missed landing Page 2052 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 back. After 3 missed landing attempts at St. Maarten, the crew asked to be diverted to St. Thomas. By this time, the plane was very low on fuel and the crew chose to divert to St. Croix. While trying to make St. Croix, the aircraft ran out of fuel and ditched into the sea, 35 miles from shore, sinking in 5,000 ft. of water. Improper management of fuel by the crew. Continued, unsuccessful attempts to land at St. Maarten until insufficient fuel remained to reach an alternate airport. A contributing factor was rain showers in the approaching zone not reported to the crew. Inadequate warning given to passengers before the ditching.



After loosing all flight controls on approach, the aircraft hit the runway hard, collapsing the nose gear and sliding off the runway. In-flight fire of unknown origin which resulted in loss of Page 2056 of 4941

The plane ran off the runway, the wing tip struck a rock pile and the plane cartwheeled. The aircraft, cleared for an instrument landing, broke through scattered clouds at 400 feet, landing short of the runway, crashing into trees and exploding into a ball of fire. Illusions produced by the lack of visual cues during a circling approach over unlighted terrain at night to a runway not equipped with approach lights or other visual approach aides. Possibility of altimeter error. United Auto Worker's President, Walter Reuther, 63, and his wife killed along with Oskar Stronorov, William Wolfman and pilots George Evans and Joseph Karrafa. The plane crashed during a training flight. Page 2060 of 4941

The pilot stalled the plane in turbulence at a low altitude. There was a loss of power as the aircraft climbed after taking off from DeKalb Peachtree Airport. The plane touched down and slid along a highway for one-half a mile striking a automobile killing 5 people. Loss of effective engine power because of improper fuel having been placed in the tanks by relatively untrained personnel. A contributing factor was the flightcrew did not detect the error. Undershot runway in fog and crashed after two failed landing attempts. Crew error. A hand grenade exploded inside the passenger cabin at FL130 . Page 2064 of 4941

Crashed into trees shortly after taking off. The pilot-in-command diverted attention from operation. Pilot rotated at V2, reduced power, co-pilot raised gear, prop hit runway. Due to heavy traffic, the flight was diverted from the planned route. The aircraft failed to follow the assigned airway and crashed into a cloud obscured Montseny Mountain while on approach. The deviation from the assigned airway may have been caused by malfunctioning equipment. In addition, the ATC did not realize the aircraft was deviating from its assigned course.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 feet above the runway, the spoilers were inadvertently deployed causing the aircraft to fall to the runway and lose the No. 4 engine. With the wing on fire, the captain decided to goaround but while circling the plane lost the No. 3 engine and eventually went into a seep dive and crashed. Inadvertent deployment of the spoilers by the first officer while the aircraft was still in the air. Faulty design by allowing the spoiler handle to perform two different unrelated tasks (lift to arm and pull to deploy). After the crash McDonnell Douglas denied there was any design flaw and the FAA decided to issue an Airworthiness Directive requiring a warning placard on all DC8s. After two and possibly three more crashed with the same cause an AD was issued requiring a safety lock be installed. Page 2072 of 4941

The plane was carrying a field hospital to earthquake stricken Peru. Flew into mountain ridge obscured by clouds. Continued VFR flight into adverse weather conditions. Cargo plane. An unarrested rate of descent due to inattention of the crew to instrument altitude references while the pilot was attempting to establish outside visual contact in meteorological conditions which precluded such contact during that segment of a precision radar approach inbound from the Decision Height.



Broke up and crashed after penetrating a thunderstorm 50 miles south of Las Vegas.

Descent below Minimum Descent Altitude during a nonprecision approach under adverse operating conditions, without visual contact with the runway environment. The reason for this descent was not able to be determined, although the two most likely explanations are ( a ) improper use of cockpit instrumentation data, or (b) an altimetry system error . Mid-air collision at 1,200 ft. The military charter overran the runway during takeoff, hit the ILS localizer support structure and burst into flames.

When she came to, she set out in vain to find her mother. Maria Koepcke, her mother, a leading Peruvian ornithologist, was dead. Rescue crews searched for the aircraft without success. Koepcke would have to save herself. Koepcke found a stream and began nine days of wading through kneehigh water and fighting off swarms of insects and leeches. On the ninth day, she found a canoe and shelter. Then she waited. Hours later, local lumbermen returned and found her. They tried to get her to eat but she was quite sick and refused. Insects had buried eggs in her skin and they were beginning to hatch. One of the men poured gasoline on her Page 2172 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Crashed after taking off this North sea island for another island. Crashed into the water after the fatigue failure of both tail rotor blade grips. Cashed into trees shortly after taking off after two engines failed. Refueling directly from the trucks, without allowing sufficient time for the fuel to settle. While practicing touch and go landing the aircraft crashed after getting caught in the wake turbulence of a DC-10. An encounter with a trailing vortex generated by a preceding 'heavy' jet which resulted in an involuntary loss of control of the airplane during final approach. Although cautioned to expect turbulence the crew did not have sufficient information to evaluate accurately the hazard or the possible location of the vortex.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 overran the runway and crashed into shallow water. On passenger that did not have her seatbelt on was killed. Midair collision. Seventeen aboard the HK-134 and twentyone aboard the HK-107 killed. The aircraft was hit by small arms fire shortly after taking off from SoTrang Air Base. Crashed on second approach after the pilot used the wrong flap setting and gears down after initiating a go-around. In cargo bay 6, hot air, leaking from an air conditioning system, melted insulation off cabling causing a short circuit in the stabilizing system. Melting insulation ignited flammable fluid which led to an uncontrollable fire that eventually weakened the structure until the tail fell off. Lost control soon after it took off and crashed into the sea.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Rugby Team. After leaving Mendoza and while flying at FL150, the copilot radioed he was over Curico and requested clearance to FL100. Because of head winds, the plane was actually still over the Andes. As the plane descended into clouds it ran into turbulence and the crew found themselves surrounded by mountains on all sides. The crew tried to climb out but the right wingtip struck the mountainside. The right wing detached and separated from the aircraft taking off part of the tail. The fuselage slid down a mountain slope and came to rest in the Andes mountains at an altitude of 12,000 feet. The survivors were not found until 12/22/72. Eight passengers died in an avalanche on October 30. Survivors resorted to cannibalism to stay alive. The book and movie 'Alive' is based Page 2240 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 refuel in Duluth. Reached a height of 300 feet when the plane suddenly plunged to earth and crashed. Loss of control precipitated by abnormal maneuvers made by the pilot in command in zero visibility. Crashed after the No. 4 engine separated from the plane. During a training exercise a F102A jet fighter collided with the C-130, causing both planes to crash. The aircraft entered a spiral, while the captain tried to remove ice from the windscreen with a scraper. This caused a violent correction which led to a high speed stall. The DC-3 crashed 12 miles south of LaRandall in a nose and wing down attitude. Crashed into hilly area in poor weather conditions. Pilot not advised of weather by approach control. Weather conditions below minima. Page 2252 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 conditions below minima. The aircraft crashed while making a nonprecision instrument approach to Runway 31L. The accident occurred in a residential area approximately 1.5 miles southeast of the approach end of Runway 31L. Upon reaching mimimum descent altitude, the pilot raised the nose of the aircraft to stop the descent. The stall warning horn sounded and continued to sound until the plane crashed 17 seconds later. The aircraft was destroyed by impact and subsequent fire. The captain's failure to exercise positive flight management during the execution of a non-precision approach, which culminated in a critical deterioration of airspeed resulting in a stall from which level flight could no longer be maintained. U.S. Representative from Illinois George Collins killed. Wife of Watergates E. Page 2256 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Howard Hunt, Dorothy Hunt, also killed. The positioning flight failed to climb after takeoff and crashed into a fuel storage tank. The Delta Convair, taxing across Runway 27L, after landing in heavy fog, was hit by the North Central DC-9 as it took off, shearing off its tail. The DC-9 came crashing back down on the runway and caught fire. Ten people out of 45 aboard the DC-9 were killed. None of the 88 aboard the Convair were killed. The ATC gave ambiguous instructions to the Delta crew, did not use all available information to determine the location of the CV-880 and the CV-880 crew did not request clarification of the controller's instructions. Shot down by enemy fire. Fuel began to leak and an explosion tore off the left wing. Two crew members parachuted to safety. Page 2260 of 4941

The crew was preoccupied with a landing gear problem and was trying to replace the landing gear light while on autopilot and in a holding pattern. As the captain got up to help, he inadvertently pushed on the yoke releasing the autopilot. With no ground reference and under nighttime conditions, the aircraft gradually descended until it crashed into Everglades, 18.7 miles west-northwest of Miami . The failure of the crew to monitor the flight instruments during the final 4 minutes of flight, and to detect a descent soon enough to prevent impact with the ground.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 plane came in for a landing at a high sink rate. The captain took over the controls to try to arrest the sink rate but the plane crashed into trees, a powerline and finally into a ridge short of the runway. The plane broke in two and was destroyed by fire. Crashed into Ben More mountain. The pilot did not maintain a safe altitude and gave insufficient attention to navigation when flying VFR into an area of snow covered high ground in marginal weather conditions. The plane went into a spiral dive. As the crew tried to pull the plane out it broke up due to excesss g loads. Four survived the crash as the plane landed in a blanket of snow but succumbed to the cold before they could be rescued. The landing gear collapsed after hitting a depression in the runway while landing. The Page 2272 of 4941

The captain and flight engineer were experimenting with the autothrottle system by tripping the circuit breakers which supplied the instruments which measured the rotational speed of each engine's low pressure compressor. This led to engine overspeeding and destruction of the engine. Smoke in the cockpit and uncontrollable fire caused by spillage of nitriacid on sawdust packing in the cargo hold. The aircraft was named 'Clipper Titian.' Flew into a mountain while en route. Flying under VFR in IFR conditons. The aircraft crashed after the wing touched the ground while landing short of the runway. Page 2336 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Continued VFR flight into adverse weather. Crashed in snow while en route. Attempted to fly into icing conditions without anti-icing equipment or pitot heat. Pilot minimally instrument qualified. Crashed in a steep nose down right wing low attitude in snow. Spatial disorientation. Continued VFR flight into adverse weather. The aircraft crashed and burned while making ILS approach to Pango Pango International Airport. There was a failure of the crew to correct an excessive rate of descent causing the aircraft to fly into trees short of the runway. Windshear, sensory illusory, inadequate monitoring of flight instruments, and the failure of the crew to call out descent rate. Most aboard the aircraft were not injured by the crash but succumbed to fire and paniafterwards. The aircraft was named Clipper Raidant. Page 2352 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 A 16 month old child was asphyxiated by a seat belt while unattended. The twin-engine turboprop hit a mountain at an elevation of 5,000 ft. during an ILS approach. Lost at sea. Never recovered. An out of work Pennsylvania salesman, Samuel Byck attempted to hijack Flight 523. His plans were to fly the plane into the White House and kill president Richard Nixon. He killed a security guard to get on board. He then shot and killed to copilot and seriously wounded the pilot. He was wounded by a security guard and soon after killed himself. The plane never left the ground. Severe turbulence possibly caused the failure of ropes securing cargo. The center of gravity shifted causing a loss of control. The wreckage was Page 2356 of 4941

The aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from Orly Airport in Paris, France. Climbing through FL110 the aircraft lost the rear cargo door, resulting in explosive decompression and damage to the cabin floor and control cables. The aircraft lost control and crashed in a forest at a high rate of speed. The service subcontractor and the flight engineer neglected to check the locking mechanism through a recently installed viewport to verify the door was latched properly. In addition, although a service bulletin stipulated that the locking pin should be extended, it was mistakenly shortened causing the latch to release after the cabin was pressurized. On June 12, 1972, an American Airlines DC-10 lost its cargo door shortly Page 2360 of 4941

The cargo plane was struck by a surface-to-air missile. Struck high ground while attempting to land at St. Honore. On a routine United Nations flight to Damascus, Syria, from Beirut, Lebanon, climbed eastward over the Lebanese highlands. Apparently painted by Syrian radar and subsequently as it neared the village of Diemas, the decision was made to launch several SAM missiles, one of which destroyed the aircraft. The aircraft crashed after running out of fuel. After being diverted because of bad weather, a navigation error caused the crew to circle the wrong city.

Crashed and burned in mountains while en route. Improper flight planning by proceeding in mountainous terrain during adverse weather conditions which had reduced visibility along the route. Midair collision between a DHC6 and a Cessna 150 at 2,200 feet while approaching Ontario Airport. Twelve aboard the Otter and two aboard the Cessna killed. The failure of both flight crews to see the other aircraft in sufficient time to initiate evasive action. This was because of the position of the sun, the closure angle of the aircraft and the necessity of the Twin Otter's flight crew to acquire visual contact with radar reported traffidirectly ahead of them.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 attempting to return to Juneau. Not found. Probable cause unknown. The aircraft crashed into the ground 1,360 meters past the runway threshold and 120 meters to the left of the center line while attempting to land at Ferihegy airport. Poor weather, fog, nightime conditions, lack of crew coordination and possible spatial disorientation contributed to the accident.



After an electrical failure at the airport the aircraft initiated a goaround. Because another aircraft was about to take off, an extended downwind leg was flown. The aircraft crashed into the Sea of Marmara while in the process of making the second approach. Crashed during take off. Misjudged altitude. Flew into rising terrain.

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 trafficontrol personnel and the flightcrew that a severe weather hazard existed along the approach path. Crashed in an emergency landing. Fatigue fracture of the cylinder head. Standpipe cutoff flush with bottom of oil tank. Improper maintenance. The cargo plane crashed en Page 2444 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 eing hit the ground and the plane crashed. The pilot decided to pull up too late for another try at landing and failed to operate the plane properly while doing so. The aircraft was on approach when the right wing tip and No. 4 engine struck a mountain peak at 2,400 feet. Part of the wing separated and the plane crashed into a ravine. Crew error. The plane was unable to land at Ilopango, El Salvador to refuel because of adverse weather conditions. The plane most likely ran out of fuel and crashed into the PacifiOcean. The aircraft climbed to about 100 feet above runway 35L and then crashed near the departure end of the runway. At the time of the accident, a thunderstorm with associated rain showers was moving over the northern portion of the airport. The Page 2452 of 4941

An unrestrained German Shepard interfered with flight controls. The plane crashed short of the runway in rain. Windshear. The aircraft's rate of descent and descent flight path angle increased as a result of windshear encountered during visual approach below minimum descent altitude. The flight crew did not recognize these flightpath deviations because they were relying on visual references which were degraded by non-homogeneous fog and on kinestheticues which were adversely affected by the aircraft's forward center of gravity resulting from the improperly loaded aircraft.

The elevator assembly separated in mid-flight. The plane nose dived and crashed. The in-flight separation of the right hand horizontal stabilizer and elevator as a result of a combination of metal fatigue and inadequate failsafe design in the rear spar structure. Shortcomings in design assessment, certification and inspection procedures were contributory factors. While passengers were loading aboard the helicopter on top of the Pan Am building, the landing gear collapsed causing the helicopter to tip on its side. Four people, waiting to board the craft were killed by the rotating blades. One of the blades tore loose and struck a Page 2560 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 engines quit before the aircraft could land and a forced landing was attempted in a wooded area. The plane struck trees before it could make a forced landing in an open field. Lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, 29, guitarist Stevie Gaines, back up vocalist Cassie Gaines and assistant manager Dean Kilpatrick of the Lynyrd Skynyrd band killed. Several other members of the band were seriously injured. Fuel exhaustion due to crew inattention of the fuel supply. Contributing factors were improper flight planning and a malfunction in the No.2 engine which caused a higher than normal fuel consumption. After lifting a water container the aircraft began rotating until control was lost and contact was made with the ground, shearing off the tail rotor and a large portion of the tail assembly.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 New engines were installed in the CH-53s to increase the power of the main rotor and on a whole to make the helicopter more powerful. However, it was soon evident that the tail rotor could not balance the increased power created by the main rotor. Under certain conditions the aircraft would become unstable and lose directional heading. Sikorsky warns of these conditions. To compensate for the mistake that had been made, Sikorsky designed and tested a bell crank system to stabilize the rear rotor. After seven years, this helicopter was still not retrofitted with the bell crank system. Gross weight of the container exceeded the lifting capacity of the helicopter. No restrains used by the passengers. Explosive decompression. Exploded, crashed and burned on approach. Page 2592 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The aircraft landed 1,000 ft. past the aiming point of the runway in heavy rain, overran the runway and plunged off a cliff during a third landing attempt. Hydroplaning, due to poor drainage on the runway. Excessive speed during landing. The cargo plane failed to gain altitude and crashed into trees. Aircraft went missing. Never found. The flight crashed into high ground after a second landing attempt. Procedural error by the crew during the final approach in that they abandoned the ILS procedure. This was influenced by the interruption of the VOR signal. Crashed into mountains north of the city in fog and adverse weather conditions. Hit trees short of the runway while on final approach in rain and fog. Aircraft observed flying low 3 miles from airport. Page 2596 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 crew's failure to adhere to prescribed impairment-ofcommunications procedures and prescribed holding procedures. The controller's and flight crew's actions are attributed to probable habits of imprecise communication and of imprecise adherence to procedures developed through years of exposure to operations in a radar environment. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the aircraft's No.1 electrical system for unknown reasons. The plane made a forced landing in the ocean. Fuel exhaustion. Inadequate preflight planning. Mismanagement of fuel. The pilot lost control of the aircraft and crashed 2,200 ft. short of the runway in a 45 degree nose-down and right bank attitude while attempting to land. Unknown possible Page 2608 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 combination of a mistrimmed horizontal stabilizer and a center of gravity near the aircraft's aft limit. The mistrimmed condition resulted from discrepancies in the aircraft's trim system and the flightcrew's preoccupation with making a timely departure. The out-of-trim warning system was inoperative. The aircraft touched down just as the crew noticed a snow plow on the runway. A go-around was initiated but the thrust reverses did not stow away properly because hydraulipower was automatically cut off at lift-off. The aircraft missed the plow, overran the runway, crashed and burned. Estimated time of arrival given by Calgary ATC in error. Crew did not report over its final approach beacon. Crashed into obscured mountain while en route. Continued VFR flight into adverse weather conditions. Page 2620 of 4941

Continued VFR flight into adverse weather conditions. While approaching V1 speed on takeoff, a loud bang was heard followed by shaking of the aircraft. The crew decided to abort the takeoff. With the end of the runway approaching, the captain steered the aircraft off the runway to the right. The landing gear failed and resulted in a fire. The plane slid for approximately 650 feet and came to rest 40 feet right of the runway centerline.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 altimeter readout was an old drum-roll-counter type (due to be replaced), which could easily be misread, especially in heavy workload situations. Three fatalities occurred when the frightened passengers grabbed their seat cushions and exited the plane from the rear. They drowned in part because their seat cushions were not flotation cushions. The airplane was not required to have floatation cushions because it was not flying over water. Crashed in mountains. The flight engineer accidentally shut off the automatitransferring of fuel from the sump tank. Eventually all three engines stopped and the plane crashed. Fuel starvation. Crashed in heavy fog while attempting to take off. The aircraft overran the runway and crashed into a revine after Page 2644 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 an aborted takeoff due to a blown tire. The No. 3 tire failed on takeoff and debris damaged the right gear 'down and locked' switch, causing a gear unsafe indication in the cockpit. Debris was also ingested by the No. 2 engine causing a loss of reverse thrust during the rejected takeoff. The helicopter crashed 87 miles northwest of Bergen on a ferry run to an oil drillilng platform. While en route the pilot decided to fly at a lower altitiude to avoid weather but crashed into a hill. Flying VFR in IFR conditions. The aircraft, flying VFR, collided with a mountain in deteriorating weather condtions after being blown off course which went unnoticed because of lacking navigational equipment. Crashed en route. All twelve bodies recovered. Pilot misjudged altitude and clearance and crashed while Page 2648 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 the PSA, two on the Cessna and seven on the ground. Crew fatigue may have played a part in the accident as there are unofficial reports that the crew attended an all night party and had only 2 hours sleep from the night before. Flew into vortex turbulence and crashed while attempting to land. Unable to communicate on terminal radar service frequency. After taking off, one of engines stalled due to a damaged #5 cylinder exhaust. The pilot attempted to return to to Kuopio. He turned but the plane lost control and crashed into Lake Juurusvesi. Lost both engines on climbout and made an emergency landing on a sandbank of the Irrawaddy River. Crashed after the left engine flamed out on takeoff.

While on a flight from Denver to Portland, the aircraft ran out of fuel while the crew was distracted with a landing gear problem. Failure of the captain to monitor properly the aircraft's fuel state and to properly respond to the low fuel state as indicated by other crew members. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the other two flight crew members either to fully comprehend the criticality of the fuel state or to successfully communicate their concern to the captain.

The captain's decision to take off with snow on the aircraft's wing and empennage surfaces which resulted in a loss of lateral control and a loss of lift as the aircraft ascended out of ground effect. Shot down by rebels with 2 surface-to-air missiles a few minutes after taking off from Kariba. Flew into the water while on ILS approach. The crew was misled by a visual illusion in conditions of reduced visibility into believing they were at a safe height and consequently failed to monitor the flight instruments sufficiently to confirm their aircraft maintained a safe approach path.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 emergency procedure following an autofeather of the right-hand propeller which resulted in their shutting down the remaining engine. A leak or break in the propeller pressure line probably caused the right engine to autofeather. The left engine was shut down when the flight crew failed to identify the engine on which the autofeather occurred and moved the left power lever to the stop position. Contributing to the accident was the unavailability of vital restart information to the crew.



The aircraft crashed into a factory after being stolen and flown by pilot who was not qualified to fly. The aircarft crashed in freezing rain and fog shortly after taking off. The aircraft was overloaded. The pilot had very little experience flying aircraft type.

The plane descended too quickly, power was applied but the plane struck trees and crashed. The plane was allowed in below minima conditions. Pilot became disoriented, crashed in snow and low visibility while en route. Pilot not qualified for type of flying. FAA had suspended his certificate. The cargo plane lost the No. 2 engine on takeoff, overran the runway, crashed into the ILS localizer antenna, broke up and caught fire. Engine failure shortly after takeoff caused damage so the landing gear could not be retracted and increasing drag during the critical climbout phase. Airspeed slowed until the aircraft crashed. Crashed into a mountain shortly after taking off. Continued VFR Page 2700 of 4941

On a third practice touch-and-go landing, the plane yawed to the right, stalled and crashed in an inverted attitude. The aircraft attained a nose-high attitude and pitched up shortly after taking off. The pilot's loss of control of the aircraft after takeoff because of the aircraft's grossly overweight and out-ofbalance condition which resulted from misloading by the company's load control personnel. The misloading was due to the failure of the company to supervise and enforce its loading procedures. Crashed into the sea after overrunning the runway while taking off. Locked condition of the elevators which prevented the rotation of the aircraft into a flying attitude. Gust lock became re-engaged during prePage 2720 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 bomb was planted by the Unabomber, a man who had been accused of attacks over an 18-year period. He was arrested in April 1996 and subsequently received a life sentence. The plane descended below the decision height without having established ground contact and crashed into a wooded area. During the descent the aircraft attained a high airspeed and high rate of descent and disintegrated in flight. A progressive failure in the aircraft's electrical system leading to the disabling or erratiperformance of some critical flight instruments and flight instrument lighting while the flight was operating in night instrument meteorological condition. As a result of these conditions, the flight crew could not resolve the instrumentation anomalies to determine proper aircraft attitude reference, and Page 2748 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 became disoriented and lost control of the aircraft. The crew's efforts to regain control of the aircraft imposed aerodynamiloads which exceeded design limits of the aircraft and caused it to break up in flight. Crashed while taking off. After being airborne about a half an hour a cabin attendant reported a fire in the aft cabin area. Seventeen minutes later the aircraft crashed into a rocky desert while attempting an emergency landing. The blaze may have been started by a passenger possibly from a leaking kerosene stove carried aboard by a Haj pilgrim passenger. The aircraft crashed into the slopes of Mt. Erebus while on sightseeing flight to Antarctica. An incorrect computer-stored flight plan resulted in a Page 2752 of 4941

ATC failure to track flight to termination of radar service and advise of impending danger. Two Libyan MiG aircraft concealed themselves from radar detection by flying closely to the DC-9. When this was discovered, an attempt was made by either French or US aircraft to intercept the MiGs. It was believed that a shot fired at the MiGs accidentally struck Itavia Flight 870. The aircraft exploded and crashed off the island of Ustica. A report released in 1994 stated new evidence pointed to an explosive device aboard the aircraft causing the crash.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The aircraft crashed and burned in a field 2 minutes after takeoff. Windshear. The plane crashed after continued VFR flight into adverse weather conditions. Collided with trees during the initial climb due to engine failure. Substantial loss of power I the left engine at a critical point in takeoff and the failure of the pilot to establish a minimum drag configuration which degraded the marginal singleengine climb performance of the aircraft. The loss of power resulted from seizure of the turbocharger following progressive failure of the turbine wheel blades initiated by foreign object ingestion which had occurred previous t o this flight and was not detected during maintenance on t he engine 4 days before the accident. The aircraft flew into the vortex wake of a B727, lost control and Page 2792 of 4941

The plane returned to the airport and landed but because of a delay in evacuating the plane, all aboard were killed by smoke and fire. Half a minute before landing the captain decided not to order an emergency evacuation. When he landed, he did not stop immediately but instead proceeded to make a normal landing delaying the fire equipment from putting out the fire. It took a full twenty-three minutes after touchdown before the doors were opened.

The cargo plane flew into the ground while trying to avoid bad weather. While climbing through 3,800 ft., a Loon collided with the cargo plane penetrating the windshield. The copilot was killed and the captain sustained serious injuries. Debris from the windshield were ingested by the No.2 engine which had to be shut down. The pilot returned to the airport for a successful emergency landing. A midair collision occurred 2 nm east-southeast of Loveland, Colorado at 13,000 ft.. Two killed and 3 injured on the Cessna and 13 killed on the Jetstream.

Contributing factor was the fact that existing regulations did not prohibit parachute jumping in or immediately adjacent to federal airways. Crashed during final approach. Hudbay Oil Co. charter. While cruising at FL 210, the pitch trim moved to the full nose-down position. Gravational forces from the resulting dive led to the break-up of the aircraft. The aircraft crashed into a river bed after two missed approaches and while in a holding pattern. Severe turbulence and thunderstorms where occurring in area.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 30 km from the airport. Crashed into a mountain during a typhoon. With one engine out and attempting an emergency landing the aircraft had to goaround because of a plane on the runway. While attempting a second landing from the opposite direction the aircraft ditched into a lake. The the right rear door of the cargo plane detached and struck the horizontal tail plane and became lodged on the leading edge. Control was lost, and the aircraft entered a steep dive. During the dive, the wings and tail plane failed due to overstressing. The aircraft experienced engine failure on takeoff and crashed. Power plant failure for reasons unknown. Improper emergency procedures. The cargo plane was brought down after a Soviet fighter jet Page 2840 of 4941

When the throttles were set to takeoff EPR, the engines were actually developing significantly less than takeoff thrust. The crew's inexperience in icing condtions was a contributing factor. Shot down by rebel forces. While landing on an icy runway, the aircraft touched down 2,800 feet beyond the displaced threshold and slid off the end of the runway into shallow water with the nose section detaching. The minimal braking effectiveness on the ice-covered runway. The crew landed without sufficient information as to runway conditions. Lack of FAA regulations.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 of clear air turbulence, mountain wave and the pilots spontaneous improper actions. There is some controversy surrounding this crash including the possiblity the aircraft was shot down by or collided with a British NATO Harrier jet fighter. The aircraft flew into a plume from a volcanieruption at 37,000 feet during the night. All engines failed and the windshield lost transparency because of pitting. The first engine was restarted at 12,000 feet, followed by the other three and the plane landed safely at Jakarta. The aircraft was named 'City of Edinburgh.' From an altitude of 30,000 ft., a malfunction occurred causing the aircraft to crash 125 miles from its destination. In-flight failure and jamming of stabilizer screw-jack mechanism due to wear.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 guitarist for heavy metal star Ozzy Osbourne was killed when the plane in which he was a passenger crashed into a tour bus and a house. The pilot was attempting to buzz Osbourne's tour bus when after several attempts, the left wing struck the side of the bus puncturing it in two places approximately half way down the right side. The plane was thrown over the bus, hit a pine tree, severing it approximately 10 feet up from the bottom, before it crashed into the garage of a house. The plane was an estimated 10-11 feet off the ground traveling at approximately 120 - 150 knots during final impact. Several other members of the group were inside the bus but were not hurt. The pilot, Andrew Aycock's medical certificate (3rd class) had expired, making his pilots license invalid. All three aboard, Rhoads, Rachel Page 2888 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Youngblood, the groups hairdresser and the pilot were killed. Poor judgement by the pilot in buzzing the bus and misjudging clearance of obstacles. Crashed 40 miles northwest of Chicago O'Hare Airport where it was to have landed. Exploded and dove in an almost vertical attitude from a height of 13,700 ft. into a wooded area, exploded and burned. Most probably overpressurization under the cargo floor and ignition of fuel vapor. The plane overran the runway in heavy rain, crashed into a field and burned while attemping to land. Crashed into a mountain during poor weather conditions. The aircraft crashed on a snow covered mountain slope in a steep left bank in overcast and snow showers. Continued VFR flight into IFR conditons. Page 2892 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Failure of the No.4 engine followed by separation of the engine and propeller of the No.3 engine. Overpressurization of the right wing resulting in an explosion and in-flight fire. A Mayday was received from the aircraft before it fell and crashed into mountainous terrain and burst into flames. Attachment bolts to support the No. 4 engine had not been installed. The aircraft struck a mountain in heavy rain during a landing attempt. The aircraft departed Hilo on the last leg of a 3rd flight. A few minutes after takeoff, the pilot called the tower to ask for a return and indicated he had a difficulty. No further transmission was made. Witnesses heard intermittent engine sputtering and then the whine of a high speed dive. The aircraft impacted in a sugar cane field at a steep angle. Page 2896 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 rain and fog. Despite two altitude alert system warnings and the co-pilot's warning of the mountains ahead, the captain continued to descend below the minimum descend altitude. Nonobservance of air traffiand carrier's procedures. The plane crashed into the tower during an approach in adverse weather conditions. The crew initiated a go-around after a heavy landing and a subsequently bounced lifted off the runway but descended back onto the ground and broke up. Deliberate reduction of engine power by the pilot 12 seconds prior to first impact due to altitude unawareness resulting in a high rate of descent and very hard landing. The aircraft was named 'Gaurishankar.'



The aircraft crashed and burned in field shortly after takeoff. Failure of the aircraft's power Page 2904 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Failure of the aircraft's power plant fire warning system due to design deficiencies which resulted in false fire indications in both engines. The aircraft crashed during a thunderstorm, 29 seconds after taking off from New Orleans International Airport. The plane reached an altitude of 95 to 150 feet and then began to descend and crashed into trees and houses bursting into flames. Microbust induced windshear. Limited capability of current ground-based low-level windshear detection technology. The aircraft was named 'Clipper Defiance.' Takeoff was aborted at V1 when the crew heard unusual sounds from the No.1 engine. The aircraft overran the runway and came to rest against a wall and some vehicles. Misjudged speed and distance and delayed action in aborting the takeoff. Page 2908 of 4941

The crew aborted the takeoff above VR and overran the runway. They also failed to apply reverse thrust symmetrically. Shortly after takeoff from Hudson Lake the left wingtip contacted the water causing the aircraft to cartwheel. The aircraft came to rest inverted & floated for a short time before sinking. Poor judgement by the pilot in command. Unfavorable wind and weather conditions.



The aircraft engine lost power over water of Hotham Inlet. Due to low altitude, the pilot had to ditch the aircraft. The aircraft sank almost immediately. Because of pilot's radio call two passengers were rescued. Page 2924 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 was suspected. Procedural error by maintenance crew caused Oring seal to be left off all three engines, causing all oil to leak out in flight. One engine shut down at first sign of trouble, followed by failure of other two engines. First engine restarted at an altitude of 3,000 feet and ran long enough to make a safe landing at Miami 9 minutes later. The aircraft failed to gain altitude and overran the runway. Crew did not follow checklist procedures. The plane was on a flight from Houston to Toronto with an intermediate stop at Dallas Fort Worth. An in-flight fire in the rear lavatory, of unknown origin, forced the plane to make an emergency landing at Cincinnati International Airport. Fatalities occurred from smoke inhalation and a flash fire that erupted when exit doors were Page 2960 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Crashed into Fouta Djall Mountain. The jetliner scraped a mountian peak, exploded in flames and slid down a ravine coming to rest at the foot of a mountain. The plane was attempting to land in the Andean city of Cuenca. Under-qualification of pilot. Crashed into the English Channel. The aircraft took off from Ottawa bound for Edmonton with less than half the fuel required to make the trip. A computer known as the 'Fuel Quantity Information System Processor' was not working properly so the ground crew made manual calculations for the amount of needed fuel. However, they used pounds/liter for the specifigravity factor instead of kilograms/liter. This was first model of aircraft of Air Canada to use kilograms. The aircraft Page 2968 of 4941

Failure of the No.3 engine during a climb out with the No.4 engine operating at idle. The left wing contacted the ground after the pilot attempted a go-around. The plane cartwheeled and crashed. Runway is not oriented to correspond with the prevailing winds. The aircraft was overloaded by 840 lbs and was below that prescribed to take off. Lack of weather forcast. The airliner crashed on approach in adverse weather. Instead of a go-around the pilot put the plane in a tight turn to the right with a high slip angle, leading to a loss of airspeed. After descending through decision height the pilot attempted a go-around but the Page 2996 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Crashed into the sea. Two bodies never recovered. While attempting to land at JFK, New York, the aircraft touched down 4,700 feet beyond the threshold, slid off end of runway and came to rest in a tidal waterway. The crew's disregard for prescribed procedures for monitoring and controlling of airspeed during the final stages of the approach and decision to continue the landing rather than to execute a missed approach. Overreliance on the autothrottle speed control system which had a history of recent malfunctions. Struck the face of a mountain as it made a low-level suppy drop during a training mission. Approximately 16 minutes prior to the accident the pilot was cleared for the localizer DME approach. The aircraft collided with the mountainous terrain on a heading of about 220 degrees Page 3008 of 4941

PTGJZ crashed out of control but PT-GKL was able to make a forced landing without its No.1 engine on a river after which it sank. Crashed into a village approximately 80 miles from Cairo, killing 19 on the ground. Crashed in poor weather. The pilot descended below minimum safe altitude. Flying VFR in IFR conditions. The cargo aircraft's entry into an unusual attitude and the inability of the flight crew to analyze the flight condition before there was a complete loss of control. Although the precise reason for the loss of control was not identified, an undetermined failure of a component in the No.2 vertical gyro system, perhaps involving the amplifier and associated circuitry, Page 3016 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 probably contributed to the cause of the accident by incorrectly processing data to the co-pilot's approach horizon. The inflight structural failure of the aircraft was due to overload. According to witnesses, the aircraft made a normal approach to Rwy 33 with no apparent abnormalities. However, when it was about 200 ft over the approach lights, they heard an increase in the engine thrust & the aircraft's descent stopped. Two witnesses thought the aircrew initiated a go-around. Immediately thereafter, the aircraft began an apparent level turn to the right. As it turned thru about 90 deg of turn, the bank angle had increased to nearly 90 deg, the aircraft's nose dropped & the plane crashed in a nose low attitude & burned. Malfunction of spoiler system for reasons undetermined. Page 3020 of 4941

The crew was overcome by smoke and cyanide, lost control and crashed. The aircraft collided with the waters of the narrow strait, northwest of Monashka Bay. Witnesses reported the weather was IFR in the area at the time. The aircraft was not equipped for instrument flight nor was the pilot current with FARS to conduct IFR operations. Continued VFR flight into IMC. While turning from its base leg onto the final approach the fight controls suddenly collapsed and the nose of the plane pitched up. The pilot attempted to maintain control of the aircraft by using the throttle and flap controls but it collided with a vehicle and terminal building. A Page 3028 of 4941

The captain, preoccupied the malfunctioning engine, didn't properly monitor instruments and over relied on the autopilot and did not use his rudder to keep the plane from rolling . The autopilot disengaged after it could not handle the excessive roll caused by the shut down engine. The captain failed to make the proper flight corrections to recover the aircraft. After a terrifying series of inadvertent aerobatics, the plane leveled off at 9,500 feet and managed to land safely at San Francisco. Forces during the inverted spin were estimated to be from +6G to -4G. The landing gear was forced out through the closed doors, breaking the doors, which flew back and took out part of the rudder and elevator. Crashed after taking off. The Page 3080 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 diver Robert Stethem was murdered aboard. The plane stalled and crashed into an emergency vehicle while making an emergency landing attempt after an engine caught fire. A faulty fuel injection nozzle caused a blow torch effect damaging the compressor turbine vane ring and causing thermal fatigue and loss of one of the turbine blades.The resulting imbalance ruptured the starting control bypass fuel return line. The aircraft broke up in flight and crashed into the ocean. Detonation of an explosive device in the forward cargo hold. Terrorist working in Vancouver, Canada, checked baggage with bombs onto two flights. One bag transferred at Toronto onto flight 182. The other would have been transferred at Tokyo onto another Air India flight, but Page 3100 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 exploded at the airport killing 2 baggage handlers. The aircraft was named 'Kanishka.' The aircraft collided with trees and a pole short of the runway during a night VFR approach to land. Poor VFR procedures. Overconfildence in personal ability. Poor judgement. Proper altitude not maintained. Exceeded proper descent rate. The aircraft went into an uncontrolled descent from FL 400 and crashed. During a normal IFR cruise flight, the pilot of air Ohio flight 21, did not respond to ATC instructions. Air Ohio flight 21 continued for 40 minutes with no reply and without deviation in altitude or heading until the discrete target disappeared from radar over Lake Erie. The pilot had not slept for approximately 30 hours prior to the loss of communication response. Crashed into the Amazon jungle Page 3104 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 in poor weather, after the crew reported a fire in the No. 3 engine. The last words from the aircraft was 'We're falling.' While on a flight from Fort Lauderdale, FL to Dallas/ Forth Worth, the aircraft crashed while making an landing attempt in thunderstorm activity. The plane touched down 6,000 feet short of the runway and 360 feet to the left of the runway centerline, became airborne again, struck a car killing the driver, crossed the highway and crashed into two water tank reservoirs. Microburst induced windshear. The flightcrew's decision to initiate and continue the approach into a cumulonimbus cloud which they observed to contain lightning. Lack of training for avoiding and escaping from low-altitude windshear. The aircraft suffered an aft pressure bulkhead failure at Page 3108 of 4941

Improper repair of the bulkhead while being supervised by Boeing engineers after a tail strike in 1978. Worst single plane disaster in aviation history. Kyu Sakamoto, 43, famous for his Japanese song 'Sukiyaki' was killed in the accident.



As the plane reached FL230, water was spilled on the autopilot panel and the crew had to disengage the autopilot because the stabilizer trim wheel started to rotate. Control was lost as the plane pitched up and down. Control was regained at 1,000 ft. and an emergency landing was carried out. During a night arrival, the flight Page 3112 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 was on an instrument approach to the Gulkana Airport when radio contact with the aircraft was lost. Search was initiated & the wreckage was found 7.4 mi north of the terminal VORr on the 330 deg radial. Improper IFR procedure. Minimum descent altitude not maintained. During takeoff from Manchester, failure of the No. 9 combustor on the port engine resulted in its ejection from the engine and fracturing of the fuel tank access panel and resulting fire. The fire spread into the cabin incapacitating and killing passengers due to toxismoke. Thermal metal fatigue of the combustor. Slow braking, using reverse thrust and turning the aircraft to starboard, sideways to a prevailing wind, all helped to feed the flames. The aircraft was named 'River Orrin.' While on approach, ATC noticed the flight was east of course and Page 3116 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 into the ground as it took off. Failure of right engine after compressor spacer failure precipitated by a fatigue crack. The crew's improper use of flight controls in response to the catastrophifailure of the right engine during a critical phase of flight which led to an accelerated stall and loss of control of the airplane. Contributing to the loss of control was a lack of crew coordination in response to the emergency. Shot down by Afghan rebels. The aircraft hit a mountain while on approach in level flight at an altitude of 2,400 feet. Navigational error by the crew resulting from their use of the incorrect navigational facility and their failure to adequately monitor the flight instruments. Improper IFR procedure. Lack of proper radio equipment. Playwright, Larry Shue, 39, Page 3124 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 the sequence leading up to the stall and crash could not be determined, with icing a possibility. The minority opinion was that the crash was possibly caused by detonation of an explosive device of unknown origin in a cargo compartment which led to an in-flight fire and loss of control of the aircraft.



The plane crash landed into a field and struck a pole then continued into trees after dense smoke filled the plane and cockpit. The fire most likely started in a defective cabin heater but was not determined for sure. Singer Rick Nelson, 45, fiancée Helen Blair, 27, soundman Clark Russell and the members of his back-up group The Stone Canyon Band, Andy Chapin, 20, Rick Intveld, 22, Bobby Neal, 38, and Patrick Woodward, 35 were killed.

Nelson had purchased the DC-3 in May 1985 from Jerry Lee Lewis and the craft had been forced to make two emergency landings in the previous six months. Nelson and his band were en route to perform at the half-time festivities at the Cotton Bowl. After initiating an overshoot and attempting to land for a second time, the plane crashed into a hilly area in the jungle. There were low lying clouds in the area. The purpose of the flight was to take a news crew to a location to cover a story. The news crew had attempted to hire another helicopter, but that operator refused due to forecast low visibility. This pilot, however, agreed to fly. Although he was certified for instrument flight in airplanes, the pilot was not qualified for instrument flight in helicopters, nor was the Page 3144 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Midair collision with a Mooney M-20 at 7,000 ft. Ten killed on the Swearingen and none on the Mooney. Procedures and directives not followed by the Mooney pilot. Lack of navigational vigilance by the Mooney instructor pilot which led to the authorized intrusion into the Salt Lake City airport radar service area. Contributing factor was the absence of a Mode-C transponder on the Mooney airplane and the limitations of the air trafficontrol system to provide collision protection. While en route the cargo plane began a gradual descent until it impacted a mountain at 6,500 ft. Altitude not maintained. Inadvertent descent by pilot. Pilot fatigue (lack of sleep).

While approaching to land the plane suddenly yawed to the left, rolled right and struck ground left of the runway. It then skidded into 3 ground vehicles and caught fire. The captain's inability to control the airplane in an attempt to recover from an asymmetripower condition at low speed following his intentional use of the beta mode of propeller operation to descend and slow the airplane rapidly on final approach for landing. The fatalities were attributed to a post crash fire, lack of fire-blocking material, and poorly designed aircraft components. Improper use of powerplant controls. Improper maintenance adjustment.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The cargo plane struck the side of a mountain while setting up for the approach. The ATC didn't monitor the plane for at least 2 minutes after observing the plane taking a wrong course. When the ATC tried to contact the plane to tell them of the mistake the crew never responded because communications in the vicinity of the mountain blocked the signal. Stalled and went into a spin during a low-level refueling practice. The stall was propagated by the wake of a B52. Dean Paul 'Dino' Martin, 35, son of entertainer Dean Martin was killed when the Phantom jet he was piloting crashed into the San Bernardino Mountains. Permission was given by March Air Force Base ATC to perform a 'maximum climb' takeoff. The aircraft was seen disappearing into a scattered cloud ceiling at Page 3216 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 4,700 feet. Radar contact was lost 9 minutes into the flight. The crash site was found on the 3rd day of searching in the San Bernardino Mountains. An investigation revealed the aircraft flew, inverted, into a solid wall of granite between two mountain peaks at an altitude of 3,750 feet and at an estimated speed of 560 mph. The aircraft was literally pulverized into the granite. The 'maximum climb' takeoff, g forces associated with this type of flight and the dense cloud cover negatively affected the pilots ability to know his position and aircraft attitude. The air ambulance impacted a mountain at 8,000 ft. while circling to land. Improper planned approach. Improper altitude maintained. Inadequate preflight planning. Approach charts inaccurate.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 fire. Poor in-flight planning. Emergency procedures not followed. The right engine did not have the latest welding process and failed causing a uncontained turbine failure. Shot down by rebels shortly after taking off. The cargo flight crew decided on a visual approach, ignored the GPWS warning and flew into a mountain. Improper maintenance in setting propeller flight idle blade angle and engine fuel flow resulting in a loss of control from an asymmetripower condition. A factor contributing to the accident was the pilot's unstabilized visual approach. The No. 2 engine failed, causing an engine fire, cabin decompression, damage to the No. 1 engine, loss of elevator control and damage to the electrical system. A fire in the cargo hold was not detected Page 3228 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 because of damage to the fire warning system. While attempting to return to Warsaw and attempting a turn to land, the aircraft crashed into a forest, 9 miles short of the runway. The cause of the engine failure was an overheated bearing. The aircraft was named Tadeusz Kosciuszko. The cargo plane lost the left wing while in a holding pattern. The left wing failed under normal flight loads as a result of a fatigue crack in the center section lower wing skin. Anomalies in the radiographs taken during mandatory nondestructive testing inspections were not correctly interpreted. During initial climb after takeoff, smoke was observed in the cockpit. When the smoke became hvy, the plt decided to land. He attempted a forced landing on rising terrain in foggy conditions. Subsequently, the Page 3232 of 4941

Pilot did not maintain proper altitude. Fog, low ceiling. Shot down by rebels. Lack of communication at the company's maintenance facility led to the dispatch of the aircraft with an unsuitable gasket in the right engine and the subsequent loss of engine oil. A singleengine go-around was attempted when the combination of single-engine performance, a low cloud base, and high terrain surrounding a Page 3256 of 4941

The flaps were fully retracted before the minimum speed for single-engine flight in the zero flap configuration was achieved. During a snowstorm in Denver, the flight was delayed 27 minutes after de-icing. When the aircraft took off, the crew experienced a rapid rotation during takeoff, overturned and crashed. Icing. Failure of the captain to de-ice a second time. The aircraft crash landed 200 yards short of the runway while attempting to land at Homer Airport. Failure of the crew to supervise the loading of the aircraft which resulted in a shift of the center of gravity which caused the plane to lose control when the flaps were lowered for landing.

A fired USAir employee, David Burke, after leaving a goodbye message to friends, shot both pilots with a .44 Magnum pistol. While the aircraft was cruising at 22,000 feet over the central California coast, the cockpit crew heard two shots in the passenger cabin and radioed a frantimessage to air trafficontrollers: 'There’s gunfire aboard.' Moments later, the plane entered a high-speed nosedive and smashed onto the ground at 700 mph. Investigators sifting through the wreckage were able to retrieve the plane’s cockpit voice recorder, which subsequently revealed the sounds of a commotion in the cockpit, three more shots, the groan of the pilot or co-pilot, and then a final Page 3272 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 landing at Kahuiui Airport on Maui. Failure of Aloha Airline's maintenance program to detect the presence of disbonding and fatigue damage which led to failure of the lap joint at S-10L and the separation of the fuselage upper lobe. Contributing factors were the failure of Aloha Airline's management to properly supervise its maintenance crew as well as the failure of the FAA to properly evaluate the Aloha Airlines maintenance program and to assess the airline's inspection and quality control deficiencies. In addition the maintenance program underestimated the need for inspections with the large number of pressurizations/depressurization s and humid salt air climate the plane was subjected to. Crashed into a hillside during approach in foggy weather. Page 3304 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The plane struck the rock face of a 8,600 ft. mountain in poor visibility. Pilot did not maintain proper altitude. Flight into known adverse weather. Poor inflight planning. The aircraft encountered heavy rain and hail which resulted in flame-out of both engines. Attempts to restart engines were unsuccessful. The aircraft landed safely in a grassy field between a drainage ditch and levee with no power. Water ingestion due to heavy rain from a level 4 thunderstorm caused failure of both engines. A contributing cause of the incident was the inadequate design of the engines and the FAA water ingestion certification standards which did not reflect the waterfall rates that can be expected in moderate or higher intensity thunderstorms. The cargo plane crashed.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 While landing the cargo plane pitched up for a go-around causing cargo to shift and the plane to lose control and crash. Crashed into mountains. The plane crashed and burned while practicing touch-and-go landings. The airliner crashed 3 miles short of the runway in poor visibility. Crew's overconfidence and incorrect in-flight planning.



The plane was scheduled to perform a series of fly-bys at an air show. The plane was to descend to 100 ft. altitude with landing gear and flaps extended. The automatigoaround protection (Alpha Floor Function) was inhibited for the maneuver. During the maneuver, the plane descended thru 100 ft. to an altitude of 30 feet and hit trees at the end of the runway. The aircraft was Page 3312 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 the runway. The aircraft was totally destroyed by the successive impacts and violent fire which followed. The pilot allowed the aircraft to descend through 100 ft. at slow speed and maximum angle of attack and was late in applying goaround power. Unfamiliarity of the crew with the landing field and lack of planning for the flyby. The civilian Iranian airliner was shot down by the U.S. Navy vessel U.S.S. Vincennes with surface-to-air missiles. The Vincennes was protecting other civilian ships in the area from Iranian gunboats. The Vincennes responded to hostile action taking place against a ship by Iranian gun boats. However, orders to the captain were to send a helicopter to investigate but maintain position. In fact, the ship headed towards the hostilities and Page 3316 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 penetrated 2nm inside Iranian territorial waters and after the helicopter was fired upon, engaged the enemy boats. The ill-fated airliner was delayed in leaving Bandar Abbas because of a problem with the passport of a passenger. Soon after taking off the target appeared on the radar of the Vincennes. Because the plane was late and confusion of time zones, the crew was not expecting an airliner in the area. When the target was first identified, it squawked both 2 (military) and 3 (civilian). The reason for this was the radar tracker ball was left in the vicinity of the Bandar Abbas airport and the radar was picking up both the airliner and a military F-14 jet fighter at the same time. Playing it safe, the plane was misidentified as a F14 Iranian fighter. The aircraft did not respond to 10 radio challenges from the Vincennes. Page 3320 of 4941

While en route and climbing through FL 280, a vibration was felt and the smell of smoke was detected. A fan blade on the No. 1 engine detached and caused a compressor stall and vibration of the aircraft. The crew throttled back the No. 2 engine and the vibration stopped. Soon after it was decided to shut down the No. 2 engine. While attempting to land, power was lost in the No. 1 engine, the aircraft stalled and crashed into trees 3,000 ft. short of the runway. The crew mistakenly shut down the wrong Page 3364 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 engine, lost power in the disabled engine and was unable to maintain flight in the final approach. After gaining altitude the cargo plane descended until it impacted trees. Improper IFR procedure by the first officer during takeoff, his lack of instrument scan, his failure to maintain a positive rate of climb or to identify the resultant descent, and the captain's inadequate supervision of the flight. Contributing factors were: dark night, low ceiling, drizzle, the first officer's lack of total experience in the type of operation, and possible spatial disorientation of the first officer. The plane went missing en route. Crashed about 500 ft. short of the runway. Crashed in flames after taking off from Dyess Air Force Base. Failure of the water injection Page 3368 of 4941

After a second takeoff attempt the cargo plane banked to the right until it crashed into the water. The airliner hit a mountain while attempting to land at Santa Maria. The crew mistakenly continued to descend through 3,000 ft. which it was clear to. Because of a overlap in communications, the tower did not notice the mistake. The aircraft continued to descend and did not comment or react to warnings from the GPSW for 7 seconds. The aircraft then hit Pico Alto mountain at an altitude of 2,000 ft. Procedural errors by the flight crew and ATC. Descent of the aircraft below minimum sector altitude. Transmission from the tower of a QNH value higher than the Page 3372 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 explosive decompression and loss of power in the No. 3 and 4 engines. Nine passengers were sucked out of the plane and lost at sea. The plane landed safely. The cargo door opening was attributed to a faulty switch or wiring in the door control system which permitted electrical actuation of the door latches towards the unlatched position after initial door closure and before takeoff. Hit high ground 27 km from the airport. The cargo plane crashed after its initial climb. While flying from Thunder Bay, Ontario to Winnipeg, Manitoba, the plane crashed on take-off from Dryden, Ontario. The aircraft failed to gain altitude, settled back down on the runway and then took off for a second time clipping the tops of trees, causing debris to clog the engines leading to the plane Page 3380 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 collided with trees and the ground after allowing the airplane to descend below the proper altitude. While on approach the plane pitched up, went into a steep dive and crashed short of the runway. Aircraft improperly loaded causing a shift in the center of gravity.



The aircraft hit a tree and crashed during a third landing attempt in fog. The crew descended below the published minimum altitude. Despite concerns about possible landing equipment failures the crew was determined to make a landing and not divert to another airport as they were running out of fuel. They could not get an ILS signal and ignored a Ground Proximity Warning System alarm 60 seconds prior to the crash by turning it off 10 seconds after it started its warning.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 an unstabilized instrument landing system approach that led to a stall, most likely of the horizontal stabilizer, and loss of control at low altitude. Contributing to the accident was the air trafficontroller's improper vectors that positioned the aircraft inside the outer marker while it was still well above the glideslope. Contributing to the stall and loss of control was the accumulation of airframe ice that degraded the aerodynamiperformance of the airplane. Crashed in poor weather conditions. Rumors suggest the plane was shot down. Midair collision. Five killed on ZA-DAX, ZK-DQF landed safely.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 of incapacitation. Twenty minutes later the plane went into a steep dive and crashed to the ground. The flight crew became incapacitated for undetermined reasons and lost control of the airplane. Crashed into El Junquito Hill 5 minutes after taking off and burned. Most likely cause was reduced visibility, rain and low overcast. The aircraft was put in a series of extended holding patterns as it approached New York.The crew informed ATC they were running out of fuel but did not declare an emergency and were cleared to land. After a missed approach and during a goaround, the plane ran out of fuel and crashed in a wooded area. The captain speaking very little English and communicating through the first officer, at no time declared an emergency. The first officer used the term Page 3472 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 'we need priority' several times, rather than declaring an emergency. The ATC did not realize the peril of the aircraft. Failure of the crew to properly communicate the emergency situation to the ATC. Although blame was placed squarely on the crew there are several reasons why ATC should have taken some responsibility for the accident. ATC was trying to land too many planes at once given the weather and number of missed approaches and aborted landing that were taking place. The plane was put in an extended holding pattern on three different occasions. The crew was not told of wind shear below 500 ft. which led to the aborted landing attempt. The plane was passed between three different controllers as it came out of its holding pattern to land. Each time the crew had to repeat their fuel situation. Page 3476 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The crew did say 'we are running out of fuel' numerous times only to be taken on a wide circling pattern after the first attempt at landing was aborted. Although the major blame was placed on the crew, in the end, the FAA paid 40% of compensations to the passenger's families. Crashed into Mt. Ringani after being diverted en route to Denpasair, Bali, due to bad weather. Rain and high winds caused the aircraft to crash 50 miles from it's destination of Brazzaville. In light snow, the cargo plane was unable to gain altitude and crashed into trees. The failure of the pilot to de-ice the airplane prior to departure, and his decision to make the takeoff at a weight that exceeded both the maximum structural takeoff weight and the reduced takeoff weight allowed for icing Page 3480 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 conditions resulting in an inadvertent stall. The cargo plane took off at night in snow was unable to gain altitude, make a steep descent and crashed into trees. Loss of control in-flight after the airplane stalled during climbout. The stall resulted from a loss of lift due to a contaminated wing surface. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the pilot to de-ice the aircraft prior to departure. Crashed after an aborted landing following landing too fast and 2/3rds down the runway. The pilot attempted a go-around, became airborne but stalled and crashed into houses and a car killing two people. On final approach, the aircraft descended below the normal approach profile until it hit the ground 2,300 ft. short and 200 ft. to the right of the runway centerline.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 director was left in the Open Descent Idle Mode instead of the Vertical Speed Mode, the prescribed setting for an approach and landing.The aircraft could not maintain the correct flight path at idle power. Failure of the crew to realize the gravity of the situation and respond immediately towards proper action of moving the throttles, even after the radio altitude call-outs. Suddenly dove into a field as it prepared to land at Likouala. While on an ILS approach, the cargo plane encountered icing conditions. Subsequently it entered a steep descent and crashed short of the runway. The accumulation of structural ice and subsequent stalling of the aircraft. The icing condition was a related factor. After the pilot ejected safely, the aircraft crashed into two trucks killing 50 people on the ground. Page 3488 of 4941

He entered an autorotation, deployed emergency floats and successfully landed on the water. However, a wave turned the helicopter over. All successfully got out of the aircraft but one passenger died from drowning 8 hours later and the other 15 hours later. Fatigue failure of an engine turbine blade, which resulted in a loss of power. Rough ocean water in the emergency landing area was a related factor. Crashed into the sea after takeoff. The cargo plane descended below the minimum safe altitude and struck a 7,000 mountain in poor weather. During takeoff, close to V1 the takeoff was aborted.

Ignition of vapors in the empty center tank probably resulted from faulty wiring. Several causes have been presumed including chafed insulation on the wiring for the center fuel tank float level switch and damaged insulation on the wiring of the nearby wing antiice valve. Crashed into Mt. Emerald , close to the summit, in a wings level, slightly nose-down attitude, shortly before it was due to land. There were thunderstorms in the area at the time. During a low level flight the crew lost reference with the ground and crashed. Crashed shortly after taking off. The aircraft never gained more Page 3504 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed into the sea. The last message that was heard from the crew was they were low on fuel and preparing to ditch. Crashed into the sea 80nm southwest of its departure point. According to ATC tapes, the crew was being incapacitated by hypoxia prior to crashing. The aircraft undershot on approach and crashed 1,700m short of the runway. It is reported that the crew, who was apparently fatigued, failed to correctly follow procedures. The accident happened at night. The predeparture check lists were carried out by the first officer, while the captain arrived late. The aircraft s taxied out immediately and it is presumed that the crew did not carry out the pretakeoff checklist. The airplane took off, entered a steep climb and turned right. Shortly afterwards the plane Page 3524 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 dove into the sea. Both pilots had very little experience on Bandeirante planes. Crashed short of the runway into a Eucalyptus tree while making an approach to Runway 11in heavy fog. The pilot's improper IFR procedure. His failure to maintain the minimum descent altitude for the adverse weather was a related factor. The aircraft was shot down by a Kuwaiti fighter shortly after takeoff with an air-to-air missile. Mostly military personnel were onboard. Shortly after taking off a hijacker entered the cockpit and demanded to be flown to Hong Kong. The captain circled for 30 minutes and after a struggle in the cockpit, attempted to land at Guangzhou, hitting the runway hard, clipping a B-707 and crashing into a B-757. Eightytwo aboard the B-737 and 46 aboard the B-757 were killed. Page 3528 of 4941

The failure of the flight crew to detect and remove ice contamination on the airplane's wings, which was largely a result of a lack of appropriate response by the Federal Aviation Administration, Douglas Aircraft Company, and Ryan International Airlines to the known effect that a minute amount of contamination has on the stall characteristics of the DC-9 series 10 airplane. The ice contamination led to wing stall and loss of control during the attempted takeoff. After receiving a runway change, the crew executed a missed approach. They became confused on which way to go. They entered an area of clouds and heavy rain, became disoriented and descended in a left wing down attitude until they impacted the ground at a coconut plantation.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 survived but one elderly passenger died while waiting for rescue. Shot down by a surface-to-air missile during operation Desert Storm. The Skywest Metroliner was told to taxi into position for takeoff and hold. The ATC became preoccupied with another aircraft that departed the tower frequency. A Wings West aircraft reporting 'ready for takeoff', caused some confusion because the controller didn't have a flight progress strip in front of her. The strip appeared to have been misfiled at the clearance delivery position. The USAir, which was cleared to land, landed on top of the Metroliner. After the collision, both planes slid off the runway into an unoccupied fire station and burst into flames.The failure of the Los Angeles Air Traffifacility management to Page 3552 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 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 controller to maintain awareness of the traffisituation, culminating in the inappropriate clearances and the subsequent collision of the USAir and SkyWest aircraft. Twenty-two killed aboard the USAir and all 12 aboard the Metroliner. The aircraft flew into the summit of Mt. Billiuras at 4,000 ft. while preparing to land at Nea Anghialos Airport. Impacted the side of a mountain at 2,300 ft., 10 miles from the destination airport. The pilot Page 3556 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 consumption. Shot down by Sudan People's Liberation Army. Crashed into Mt. Klabat in heavy fog while descending for a landing. The airplane crashed into a wooded area about 8 minutes after takeoff. Detonation (or preignition) in the number 1 cylinder, which resulted in erosion (burning) of the number 1 piston and subsequent loss of engine power. A factor related to the accident was: the lack of suitable terrain for an emergency landing. Eight minutes after takeoff the No. 2 engine failed. The pilot turned back but crashed 1 mile short of the runway. The passengers were told to throw out cargo after which unfortunately they all moved towards the tail leading to a loss of control.

After taking off, fire was reported in the landing gear well. The aircraft crashed while trying to return to the airport. Loss of hydraulics and electrical systems after a fire, started in the wheel when two tires disintegrated due to under inflation of one tire. This caused a fire which ignited years of accumulated flammables in the DC-8's wheel well leading to an uncontroable fire. The plane was allowed to leave with an under inflated tire.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 ground 8 nm from it's destination airport in fog and low visibility. The decision of the pilot to continue night low level flight in forecasted adverse weather conditions. Contributing to the accident was the foggy weather and dark night conditions which restricted the pilot's visual outlook.



The cargo plane overshot the runway and crashed into trees. While on approach to Bugulma, the plane yawed to the right. The crew decided to go around but crashed 800 m short and to the right of the runway. Horizontal stabilizer icing. Flew into the side of a hill towards the end of the flight while flying VOR. The crew flew along the wrong valley. The aircraft encountered low ceiling and rain showers and was not certified for IFR flight. Instead of going to a alternate Page 3636 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Instead of going to a alternate airport the pilot continued VFR flight and impacted the side of a mountain. The pilot-incommand's poor inflight decision by not electing to proceed to an alternate airport and to continue to the flight under visual flight rules into instrument meteorological conditions. The low ceilings and visibilities across the flight route and the mountainous terrain were factors in the accident. Crashed into Mt. Lavendar at 1,580 ft. msl. The captain's decision to initiate visual flight rules into an area of known mountainous terrain and low ceiling and the failure of the flightcrew to maintain awareness of their proximity to the terrain. The sightseeing tour struck a hill at 2,000 ft. while making a left turn in turbulence. Poor crew coordination. Overloaded. Page 3640 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The aircraft reached an altitude of 3,000 feet and then made an emergency descent, clipping trees and made a belly landing in a field, breaking into 3 parts but staying together. Failure of both engines. Improper deicing of the aircraft led to chunks of ice breaking off and being ingested into both engines, leading to engine failure. The crew was not trained to recognize and correct engine surges, which occurred when the ice struck the engines.The aircraft was named Dana Viking. Crashed after colliding with a vulture. The cargo plane crashed on takeoff after losing the No. 3 and 4 engines due to corroded midspar fuse pins. The No. 3 engine broke loose first striking the No. 4 engine. During the approach the aircraft struck trees and crashed near the top of a hill. Failure of the Page 3644 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 the decision by the flight crew to take off without positive assurance that the airplane's wings were free of ice accumulation after 35 minutes of exposure to precipitation following de-icing. The ice contamination on the wings resulted in an aerodynamistall and loss of control after liftoff. Autopilot engagement and disengagement resulted in oscillations of the aircraft which led to a loss of control and break-up in mid air. Pilotinduced lateral oscillations led to a stall, dive and break-up. The crew deviated from the ILS localizer during an approach to Runway 33R and struck 2,000 foot Mount Hymittus. The pilot didn't comply with the procedures for an ILS approach and attempted a visual approach. The pilot confirmed 'established on the ILS localizer,' but he was not on the Page 3668 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Possibly shot down by LTTA rebel forces as it attempted to land a the Elephant Pass Army Garrison. Cargo shifted as the cargo plane took off causing a high nose attitude which led to loss of contol. Inadequate security of the cargo which shifted rearward during the takeoff roll. Factors which contributed to the accident were: the over gross weight condition, and the improper alteration of the tie down rings by the overhauling maintenance facility. Cashed and burned after taking off. Possible fuel exhaustion. Crashed while in a holding pattern and attempting to land at Aden Airport during a sandstorm. Overran the runway while trying to take off and crashed into buildings. Overloaded. Center of gravity too far forward.

In the final seconds, the captain assessed the Ground Proximity Warning System warning as false. The accident was caused by a combination of occurrences, errors and actions by both the crew and ATC. The initial problem with the flaps, the lack of radar service, a misread chart by the crew, communication difficulties and the use of non-standard phraseology among other items led to the accident. The aircraft failed to gain altitude after lift-off, touched down again and overran the runway bursting into flames 2,000 feet past the runway. Possible engine failure.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 crashed into a marsh. Fuel contamination. Shortly after taking off from Schiphol Airport, while climbing through 6,500 feet, the No. 3 engine separated with its pylon from the aircraft and damaged the leading edge of the right wing. The No. 3 engine separated in such a way that the No. 4 engine and pylon also separated from the wing. During an attempted return to the airport, the aircraft crashed into a 11 story building in the Bijlmermeer residential district. The design and certification of the B-747 pylon was found to be inadequate to provide the required level of safety. The system to ensure structural integrity by inspection failed. The separation of the No. 3 engine was initiated by fatigue (corrosion) in the inboard midspar fuse pin. This led to loss of the No. 4 engine and Page 3724 of 4941

While approaching Charles de Gaulle Airport, a preceding Korean Air, Boeing 747 blew a tire on landing and the runway was closed. The crew had to use another runway but the aircraft entered a high sink rate and flew into the ground 5,500 feet short of the runway. The No. 2 engine lost power on takeoff. The aircraft crashed into a swamp 800m beyond the end of the runway, broke up and caught fire. Flaps were found to be retracted. Right propeller did not autofeather and had to be feathered manually. The cargo plane struck a mountain while descending in fog and poor visibility. After takeoff, the cargo plane, banked sharply went nose-down and crashed. Page 3748 of 4941

The aircraft shuttered violently after takeoff, rolled to the left, then right and crashed. Icing. Loss of roll controllability due to contamination on the wings with ice. Failure to de-ice the plane before taking off. The airplane was in cruise flight along an airway, with a minimum en route altitude of 13,300 feet, when it impacted terrain at an elevation of 10,600 feet. The pilot's inadequate preflight planning/preparation and the selection of an altitude that would not provide terrain clearance along his planned route. Factors were the dark night conditions and the mountainous terrain. Crashed 5 km short and 1km to the right of Runway 26 in poor weather conditons Page 3756 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The aircraft crashed approximately 30 minutes after takeoff in rain. The No.2 engine and pylon separated from the aircraft at 2,000 feet. The plane landed safely. The engine separation was due to an encounter with severe or possibly extreme turbulence and a fatigue crack. The Hooters Restaurant private plane crashed 0.5 miles outside the Outer Marker while attempting to land at the TriCities airport near Bristol, Tennessee. NASCAR Winston Cup Champion Alan Kulwicki, 38, killed. Failure of the pilot to follow procedures concerning use of the engine inlet anti-icing system while operating in icing conditions, which resulted in ice ingestion and loss of engine power. Failure of the pilot to maintain airspeed while coping with the engine problem. While in cruise flight at an Page 3760 of 4941

Examination of the helicopter disclosed fatigue failure of the lower mixing unit and a fatigue crack in the upper mixing unit on the flight control system. Crashed into the sea after departing Caracas on a test flight. The slats were inadvertently deployed while at FL 330. The aircraft progressed through several pitch oscillations and lost 5,000 feet in altitude. Inadequate design of the flap/slat actuation handle that allowed the handle to be easily and inadvertently dislodged from the UP/RET position, thereby causing extension of the leading edge slats during cruise flight.

The aircraft descended into mountainous terrain before actually reaching the Abejorral NDB beacon. The VOR/DME had been sabotaged by terrorists and not in service. The cargo plane impacted a hill while on visual approach to El Yopal. Lost the right engine on takeoff. The pilot returned to the airport and landed with the landing gear retracted. During the slide the left wing struck a rock and ruptured causing the plane to burst into flames. On final approach at low speed the left wing dropped and touched the ground during a stall or deliberate low left turn. The plane cartwheeled and broke up. Page 3776 of 4941

A factor which contributed to the accident was the pilot's failure to assure that the nose baggage compartment door was secured. The helicopter crashed while attempting to land in a confined area of the infield of the Talladega Super Speedway. The pilot of the helicopter, NASCAR race car driver Davey Allison, 30, killed. The pilot's poor in-flight decision to land downwind in a confined area that was surrounded by high obstructions, and his failure to properly compensate for the tailwind condition. The aircraft crashed into a lake after it was unable to get airborne while attempting to takeoff. Mechanical failure. Flaps selected but did not extend. The aircraft hit Mt.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 change in wind direction. A very light touch of the runway surface with the landing gear and lack of compression of the left landing gear leg to the extent understood by the aircraft computer as the actual landing, resulted in delayed deployment of spoilers and thrust reversers. The delay was about 9 seconds. Thus, the braking commenced with delay and in a condition of heavy rain and strong tailwind the aircraft did not stop on the runway. The aircraft was named Kulbach. Crashed into the sea. Shot down with a missile by Abkhazi separatist rebels. The aircraft was hit by a missile then crash landed on the runway. Terrorist act by Abkhazian rebels. While on the ground, the aircraft struck by artillery fire from Abkhazian rebels, killing one crew member. Page 3796 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The plane was on a seniflight of the Mt. Cook area and impacted Franz Josef Glacier at 4,500 ft. The aircraft became trapped in a narrow valley and as the pilot attempted to turn around within the valley the aircraft stalled while it was in a steep bank. While landing during a rainstorm, the aircraft went off the end of the runway, into a swamp, collapsing the landing gear and breaking the fuselage into three sections. The aircraft descended below minima during a localizer approach, without a glideslope, struck the top of trees and crashed into a swamp in heavy rain showers and strong winds. One witness, located about two miles south of the airport, saw the airplane turn sharply left, drop nose low, recover, drop nose low, and then descend from sight behind trees. Page 3800 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 from sight behind trees. Investigators and rescue personnel discovered a large amount of ice debris along the flight path and outside the fire ring at the crash site. An inadvertent stall by the pilot in command. Factors associated with the accident are the icing conditions and low ceilings. The aircraft took off and made a low right turn, struck trees and crashed. The crew most likely lost situational awareness and as a result did not detect the increasing deviation from their intended flight path. Contributing factor was the loss of AC power to some of the flight instruments the reason for which could not be determined. The plane crashed short of the runway while landing in dense fog, hitting power lines and a wall. The autopilot disconnected during approach and reengaged with the vertical speed Page 3804 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 aerodynamistall occurred when the flightcrew allowed the airspeed to decay to stall speed following a poorly planned and executed approach characterized by an absence of procedural discipline. Improper pilot response to the stall warning including failure to advance the power levers to maximum and inappropriately raising the flaps. Flightcrew's inexperience in a 'glass cockpit' automated aircraft. The cargo plane ran out of fuel and crashed. While on approach the nose pitched up, the aircraft stalled and crashed short of the runway. Icing of the horizontal stabilizer.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 three engines during severe icing. Multiple engine failures occurred as a result of flight in extreme icing conditions. Incomplete performance of the emergency drills by the crew, as a result of not referring to the Emergency Checklist, prejudiced the chances of successful engine re-starts. Crew actions for securing and re-starting the failed engines, which were not in accordance with the operator's procedures, limited the power available. The drag from two unfeathered propellers of the failed engines and the weight of the heavily iced airframe resulted in a loss of height and control before the chosen diversion airfield could be reached. Poor Crew Resource Management reduced the potential for emergency planning, decision making and workload sharing. Consequently, the crew had no Page 3828 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 pilot pulled back on the yoke to obtain level flight but the plane stalled. With his seat pulled all the way back, the co-pilot in the right hand seat could not properly control the aircraft. After several stalls and rapid pull-ups the plane went into a spiral descent. In the end the co-pilot initiated a 4.8g pull-up and nearly regained a stable flight path but the aircraft struck the ground in an almost level attitude killing all aboard. The aircraft was named Glinka, after Mikhail Glinka, the father of Russian music. The jet fighter collided in mid air with the transport as they approached Pope Air Force Base. The fighter then slid into a staging area where troops were boarding a third aircraft (660173).

The crew tried to override this situation by turning off the autothrottle and reducing air speed. The aircraft stalled, hit the runway tail first and burst into flames. The plane crashed because of an extreme out of trim configuration brought about by the fact that the tailplane setting had moved automatically and undetected to a maximum nose-up position. The plane climbed at a steep angle until it stalled. The crew could have saved the aircraft even in the final seconds had they reverted to basiflight procedures and switched off the autopilot.

The failure of the captain to use the available ILS glideslope, his failure to execute a go-around when conditions were not suitable for landing, and his failure to land the airplane at a point sufficient to allow for a safe stopping distance; the fatalities were caused by the presence of the nonfrangible blast fence and the absence of a safety area at the end of the runway Crashed into a mountain while inbound for Bogota. The aircraft was destroyed when it undershot the runway during a visual approach to Sao Gabriel and stuck trees. Crashed while making an emergency landing following engine trouble. Crashed shortly after taking off after double engine failure. Continued VFR flight into IMC.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The plane broke-up in flight 10 minutes after taking off. Autopilot induced oscillations caused the aircraft to shake violently. The autopilot yaw-channel was accidentally connected to the bank control and the bankchannel to the yaw controls. The aircraft flew into high ground during a go-around. The accident happened in darkness and in poor weather with rain and heavy clouds. The accident was attributed to the pilot's failure to follow the established go-around procedure correctly. The aircraft crashed in poor weather conditions 0.8 nm south of the threshold of runway 1R at Dulles International Airport while attempting a ILS landing. Poor airmanship and relative inexperience of the captain in initiating and continuing an unstabilized instrument approach that led to a descent below the authorized altitude Page 3864 of 4941

The flightcrew's failure to establish and maintain the proper airplane attitude and thrust setting necessary to escape the windshear. The lack of real-time adverse weather and windshear hazard information dissemination from air trafficontrol. The aircraft lifted off slowly. After lift-off, the plane settled in a descenting left turn and crashed. Excess gross weight and incorrect CG caused the plane to stall. The helicopter crashed into the water. All survived but were not equipped with life vests and 3 passengers drowned. Failure of the engine-driven fuel pump, which resulted in the loss of power, and the lack of aircraft flotation equipment.

Crew error. There was a struggle and argument between the captain and co-pilot during the last seconds of the landing as to whether they should go-around. The pilot flew into a blind box canyon and crashed while attempting to turn around. Improper in-flight planning /decision by the pilot and his failure to remain clear of mountainous terrain. The box canyon and proximity of mountains were related factors. The non-instrument rated commercial pilot was en route at 2000 feet msl on a night VFR flight when he reported an inadvertent encounter with instrument meteorological conditions.

Suffered engine failure and made a crash landing on terrain near the shoreline of a body of water. Fatigue cracking of the engine case, which resulted in eventual damage to the #3 cylinder studs/engine throughbolts, subsequent separation of the #3 cylinder and piston, and an in-flight fire. Inadequate maintenance and inspection. The aircraft entered a steep dive from 16,000 ft. and crashed 10 minutes after taking off from Agadir. The pilot was blamed for disconnecting the autopilot and deliberately causing the crash and committing suicide. This was challenged by the Moroccan Pilot's Union. While on approach, the aircraft went into a sudden nose dive from 6,000 ft. and crashed into a Page 3888 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 wooded ravine 6 miles northwest of Pittsburgh International Airport. The accident was caused by a loss of control of the aircraft resulting from the movement of the rudder surface to its blowdown limit or an uncommanded rudder reversal. The rudder surface deflected in a direction opposite to that commanded by the pilots as a result of a jam of the main rudder PCU servo valve secondary slide to the servo valve housing offset from its neutral position and overtravel of the primary slide. The most likely sequence of events that led up to the accident included the jamming of the PCU servo valve, the application of light left rudder followed by hard right rudder which caused the rudder to reverse in the opposite direction the pilot commanded it to go. The application of hard right rudder was possibly Page 3892 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Just as the plane took off there was a pitch-up and stall resulting in the plane crashing into the water. The down elevator control cable failed at station 367 due to corrosion. The failure resulted from salt water induced corrosion. The aircraft had recently undergone a periodiinspection but the damage had apparently not been discovered. After circling for almost an hour and a half and aborting four landing attempts in adverse weather conditions, the aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed. The cargo plane lost control shortly after becoming airborne, began losing altitude and ditched 500 meters from the runway. The No. 4 prop pitch control system failed. After three landing attempts at Tura, the crew diverted to Vanavarva because of bad weather. The aircraft ran out of Page 3900 of 4941

The airplane was susceptible to this loss of control and the crew was unable to recover. Contributing factor was the French Directorate General for Civil Aviation's inadequate oversight of the ATR42 and ATR 72, and its failure to take the necessary corrective action to ensure continued airworthiness in icing conditions and failure to provide the FAA with timely airworthiness information developed from previous ATR incidents and accidents in icing conditions.

While en route, the cargo plane made an uncontrolled descent and crashed. Loss of aircraft control at night by the pilot for unknown reasons. Crashed into a mountain in poor weather conditions. During its takeoff roll, the DC-9 collided with the Cessna, which was waiting for clearance to take off. The ground collision took place in the fog. The Cessna pilot mistakenly thought he had clearance to enter the runway. Two aboard the Cessna were killed, none were killed aboard the DC-9. Shot down by UNITA rebel forces.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 engine flame out and decided to execute a missed approach. This eventually led to a stall and the plane crashed 4 miles SW of the runway threshold. The captain's improper assumption that an engine had failed. The captain's subsequent failure to follow approved procedures for engine failure, single-engine approach, go-around, and stall recovery. Contributing to the cause of the accident was the failure of American Eagle management to identify, document, monitor and remedy deficiencies in pilot performance and training. The cargo plane hit trees and crashed short of the runway while attempting to land. The chartered flight struck a cliff at 6,400 ft. during a flight from a copper and gold mine. After a go-around the plane struck a transmission tower and crashed. Page 3924 of 4941

The aircraft crashed into a hill near the airport in driving snow after a fourth landing attempt. The plane crashed after the pilot reported a loss of cabin pressure. The aircraft disappeared while en route from Bima, Sumbawa Island to Ruteng, Flores Island, and crashed into the Molo Strait. The accident occurred in daylight, in poor weather. While descending from FL 190, ground witnesses saw fire and sparks aboard the plane before it crashed and exploded. One nine-year-old girl survived. Her mother threw her out of the plane and she landed in some soft-water lilies. Possible electrical fire. Possible faulty altimeter.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The cargo plane was observed in a shallow left bank until it descended and struck trees and broke up. The pilot's failure to properly configure the aircraft fuel system prior to takeoff and his failure maintain an adequate terrain clearance altitude while maneuvering to return to the airport. Factors in the accident were the dark night lighting conditions, low ceilings, restricted visibility conditions, and the pilot's diverted attention which resulted from activation of the airplane's fuel selector warning horn system.



The cargo plane crashed while on approach. Failure of the pilotin-command to maintain visual contact with terrain and sufficient altitude for terrain clearance. Factors in the accident were the pilot's decision to initiate a descent 14 miles from the airport, and Page 3932 of 4941

Factors in the accident were: the high gusting wind, the high density altitude, the rising terrain, and the reduced single-engine performance capability of the airplane under these conditions. On a positioning flight the crew aborted its first takeoff. On the second takeoff the tail struck the ground and crashed back to the ground. The loss of directional control by the pilot in command during the takeoff roll, and his decision to continue the takeoff and initiate a rotation below the computed rotation airspeed, resulting in a premature lift-off, further loss of control and collision with the terrain.

Shortly after takeoff in poor visibility and heavy snow, with autothrottles engaged, climb thrust was selected. The right engine throttle jammed and remained at takeoff thrust, while the left engine throttle slowly reduced to idle. The increasing thrust asymmetry resulted in an increasing left bank angle, which eventually reached about 170 degrees. The airplane lost altitude and impacted the ground. Lack of crew response to an extreme nose-down attitude. The investigation concluded that the captain was incapacitated. Just before impact the first officer expressed his concern about the situation of either the captain's incapacitation or the aircraft's attitude and attempted a recovery.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Contributing to the occurrence were the inherent limitations of the see-and-avoid concept which preclude the effective separation of aircraft with high closure rates, the fact that neither crew was directly alerted to the presence of the other aircraft by the Flight Service specialist or by onboard electroniequipment and an apparent lack of pilot understanding of how to optimize avoidance maneuvering. Crashed into Cerro Sincholagua mountain at 16,000 ft. during an approach to Quito. Pilot fatigue may have been a factor. Crashed into a mountain during approach in poor weather. An engine caught fire shortly after takeoff and the aircraft was not able to make an emergency landing and crashed. The crew had serious problems maintaining their heading after Page 3960 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 both artificial horizons failed shortly after takeoff. The crew had difficulty controlling the aircraft in turbulent conditions and the plane went into a spiral dive and crashed into a field. One or possibly both of the aircraft's artificial horizons malfunctioned and in the absence of a standby horizon, for which there was no airworthiness requirement, there was no single instrument available for assured attitude reference or simple means of determining which flight instruments had failed. The pilot became spatially disoriented and was unable to maintain control.



Ditched in the sea just offshore, after losing an engine on approach. The pilot was not rated for that aircraft type and had very little experience.

Two died of their injuries after the accident. While en route the cargo plane flew into a 4,800 ft. mountain. The pilot's continued VFR flight into instrument meteorological conditions. The weather was a factor. During a low flying turn manuve, at an air show, the pilot caused the plane to stall and crash into the water. The captain made an error of judgement in modifying one of the display manoeuvres to the extent that he stalled the aircraft at a height and attitude from which recovery was impossible. After climbing to 18,400' msl, the pilot reported a turbocharger problem & reversed course. He said he 'may lose the left Page 3988 of 4941

During a right turn onto final approach, the airplane was observed to cross (overshoot) the extended centerline of the runway. It continued in a right turn back toward the centerline, and then entered a left turn to intercept the inbound course. The turn steepened, and then the airplane entered a spin & crashed 1/2 mile short of the runway. Failure of the pilot to maintain adequate airspeed, while maneuvering on approach, which resulted in an inadvertent stall/spin and uncontrolled collision with terrain. Factors relating to the accident were: the pilot allowed the aircraft weight and balance limitations to be exceeded; the pilot's lack of recurrent training in the make and model of airplane; inadequate Page 3992 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 aircraft; and the pilot's decision making. The No. 1 engine failed or power was reduced after takeoff followed by loss of the second engine. With the gear down and flaps extended, the crew lost control of the aircraft and crashed 1.2 miles past the runway into a soccer field killing 24 on the ground. The cargo plane was unable to gain altitude while attempting to takeoff, overran the runway and hit power lines and a conrete barrier. Inadequate pre-flight planning and preparation by the PIC, his failure to ensure the aircraft was properly loaded within limitations, his failure to use proper flaps for takeoff, his failure to use ADI (Antidetonation Injection) assisted takeoff, and his resultant failure to attain sufficient airspeed to climb after takeoff.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 accident were: the high density altitude, and the PIC's lack of experience in the make and model of airplane. The plane crashed into the AtlantiOcean, 21 km north of Puerto Plata, shortly after taking off. Incorrect airspeed indications resulting from a clogged pitot tube. The readings were greater than the actual airspeed resulting in the crew reducing power and leading to a stall. Failure of the crew to recognize the activation of the control column shaker as a warning of an imminent stall. Failure of the crew to carry out the procedures to recover the aircraft from the stall and restore lift. Crashed into a hill in heavy fog while on approach. The helicopter was shot down. Shortly after lifting off of the ground, the aircraft rolled to the right and struck the ground Page 4036 of 4941

Crashed after experiencing an engine fire. The pilot tried to make a forced landing but the engine and part of the left wing broke away. The pilot's improper decision to continue the flight rather than making an immediate water landing due to the low altitude of the airplane and obstructions ahead, which led to his intentional maneuver to avoid the obstructions and subsequent inadvertent stall and loss of control. The aircraft strayed off course and hit St. John Hill at an altitude of 2,200 feet, 16km SE of Dubrovnik while attempting to land in poor weather conditions.

Witnesses describe the plane's climb rate and speed as slow and they observed the aircraft enter a roll consistent with a stall. The plane's gross weight was 84 pounds over the maximum limit. Pilot's improper decision to take off into deteriorating weather conditions when the airplane was overweight resulting in stall caused by failure to maintain airspeed. After a number of failed landing attempts during a sandstorm, the aircraft made a forced landing in a local suburb crashing into a building. On a positioning flight the aircraft flew into a mountain. Crashed into high ground while attempting to land at a mine airstrip in turbulence and stong gusty winds. Page 4052 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Crashed into a ridge line shrouded in clouds while en route. The aircraft crashed 18 miles NW of Miami airport in a remote part of the Everglades. Shortly after taking off, after the crew reported fire and smoke in the cabin and cockpit. The in-flight fire was caused by activation of one or more oxygen generators in the forward cargo hold. The generators were outdated, improperly labeled, lacked safety caps and were prohibited from being transported on a passenger flight. The loss of control resulted either from flight control failure or incapacitation of the crew due to extreme heat and smoke. Candi Kubeck was the first American female commercial airline captain to be killed in a crash.

The training flight crashed into a field during touch-and-go landings. The two helicopters collided in mid-air while flying in formation. The pilots may have possibly been stressed fatigued and inadequately prepared and were flying too low to see the target. The aircraft overran the runway after an aborted takeoff. The fuel line in the No.3 engine was sheared and caught fire after the fanblade of the first stage HP turbine separated. During the slide the No. 1 engine and landing gear were lost ane the plane came to rest in a ditch. Three passengers were trapped in the wreckage and overcome by toxifumes after a fire started.

Aboard were members of a Dutch Army Band returning from Italy. While on a flight from New York to Paris, France, the aircraft exploded at FL 130, broke up and crashed into the AtlantiOcean off Long Island, N.Y. The NTSB determined that the probable cause of the accident was an explosion of the center wing fuel tank resulting from ignition of the flammable fuel/air mixture in the tank. The source of ignition energy for the explosion could not be determined with certainty but, of the sources evaluated by the investigation, the most likely was a short circuit outside of the Page 4068 of 4941

Rumors persist that the plane was brought down by a missile, either by the Navy conducting exercises in the area or by terrorists. Crashed 150 ft. short of the runway. Soon after takeoff, the No. 3 engine caught fire in the cargo plane. The pilot tried to return to the airport for an emergency landing but the right wing seperated and the plane crashed.

A straight-in visual approach to Mergui was being attempted when the aircraft entered a squall line of heavy rain. The aircraft then started to lose height quickly, undershot the runway by 800ft. And crashed into a ravine. After touching down, the cargo plane bounced twice and continued to the end of the runway, became airborne but crashed terrain. For unknown reasons, a decision was made to overshoot even though insufficient runway remained for acceleration, take-off, and climb. Likely contributing directly to the decision to overshoot was the Page 4076 of 4941

The pilot tried to land the plane in a river bed. The number 2 engine separated from the aircraft as a result of an intense fire in the wing. The loss of the engine rendered the aircraft uncontrollable, and the pilots were forced to land in the river. The plane struck a mountain. Failure of the crew to monitor the aircraft's position and flight path relative to high terrain surrounding Jackson Hole Airport. While en route, flew into the side of a mountain. The pilot probably made a navigational error because of restricted visibility in fog and light drizzle and entered the wrong valley, and he delayed his decision to reverse course until he was Page 4080 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 unable to avoid the weather. After taking off from Belgrade, the plane experienced electrical problems and returned to the airport. After dumping fuel and circling for 3 hours, the plane crashed into a corn field 800m short of the runway. The aircraft crashed 7 nm short of the runway into Operafjellet Mountain at an altitude of 2,900 ft. while attempting to land in poor weather. The crew did not use the usual approach which includes a turn over the ocean, but rather took a route that led through a narrow valley. Inadequate planning, unsatisfactory crew resource management and monitoring, not discontinuing the approach when procedural uncertainties existed and limited knowledge of the operating language and the actual airspace. The passengers were mainly Russian coal miners headed for Page 4084 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 a Russian mine on one of the Norwegian islands. The cargo plane crashed while approaching to land. The crew did not notice an incorrect heading due to an inoperative beacon and crashed into a hill. After taking off, the aircraft stopped climbing, struck a pole and crashed and burn. Improper installation of a connecting bolt in the throttle linkage, which resulted in a worn/disconnected throttle arm, partial loss of engine power, and a forced landing after takeoff. Shortly after takeoff from Texel, a connecting rod bearing in the No.1 engine failed. The prop was feathered. Soon after, a part of the feathering mechanism failed and the prop started windmilling causing drag. The aircraft rapidly descended and crashed onto a mud-flat. The accident was initiated by a combined failure of Page 4088 of 4941

The accident became inevitable when the flight crew allowed the speed to decrease below stall speed and lost control of the aircraft at an altitude from which recovery was not possible. The aircraft crashed into the ocean 28 minutes after taking off from Lima, Peru. Pieces of adhesive tape were found covering the statiports, placed there by personnel during aircraft maintenance and cleaning, causing the malfunction of the airspeed indicators and altimeters. The crew was not able to correctly determine their altitude and airspeed and with no ground reference over water and at night, crashed into the sea. An employee did not remove the adhesive tape from the statiports, nor was it detected by any number of people, including Page 4092 of 4941

While maneuvering to land, he crashed 3 miles west of the runway. Loss of power from the right engine, and the pilot did not conserve altitude or configure the aircraft for maximum performance following the loss of power. Control of the aircraft was probably lost as the pilot was attempting to intercept the ILS for Runway 13 during a low-level turn. Contributing factors were the overweight condition of the aircraft and the lack of in-flight emergency procedures training received by the pilot.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 the flight following jamming of the propeller in an intermediate position after the right engine crankshaft ruptured. The inappropriate management was due to the pilot’s relative lack of experience on this aircraft type, his false notions about the aircraft’s performance and about the existence of a flight level to maintain level flight with an unfeathered propeller and an heavy aircraft and a series of misjudged strategies to attempt to continue the flight then to land at Limoges when the aircraft’s altitude no longer made this possible. Crashed short of the runway in dense fog while attempting to land a second time at Lucapa. The plane crashed mid-way along its scheduled 50 minute route. The aircraft went into a roll and lost control after taking evasive action to avoid another aircraft. The plane was flying Page 4108 of 4941

However, due to a misunderstanding, the pilot and most of the cockpit crew of the IL76 believed the flight had been cleared to continue down to FL140. The Indian accident report attributed the failure of most of the IL76 crew to correctly understand the situation to their lack of a working knowledge of English. Also contributing to the crew's decision to continue the descent below their clearance limit were poor cockpit resource management, a lack of leadership by the captain, a lack of co-ordination between the crew and a general casual attitude to the conduct of the flight.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 FAA's failure to establish adequate aircraft certification standards for flight in icing conditions. Contributing to the accident were the flightcrew's decision to operate in icing conditions near the lower margin of the operating airspeed envelope (with flaps retracted), and Comair's failure to establish and adequately disseminate unambiguous minimum airspeed values for flap configurations and for flight in icing conditions. While en rote the plane experienced engine trouble. The crew decided to divert to Sparrevohn. While attempting to land the plane encountered strong turbulence from surrounding mountains. Although full power was applied to the good engine the plane crashed into terrain. Loss of the right engine propeller control oil, which led to an overspeed of the Page 4144 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 right engine and propeller, and necessitated a shut-down of the right engine; and failure of the pilot to maintain adequate altitude/distance from terrain during visual approach for a precautionary landing at an alternate airport. Factors relating to the accident were: fluctuation of the left engine power, premature lowering of the airplane flaps, and an encounter with adverse weather conditions (including high winds, severe turbulence, and whiteout conditions) during the approach. After being in a holding pattern for over an hour the plane hit trees and a power line and crashed 700m short of the runway. The aircraft crashed shortly after taking off fromTambacoumba after losing power in the left engine. Fuel contamination. The plane took off from Luanda Page 4148 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 crashed 24 miles NE of Mashhad in the Binalud Heights. The pilot reported engine failure prior the crash. The aircraft lost altitude from FL 197 and crashed into a forest while en route from Stavropol, Russia to Trabzon, Turkey. Reports indicated that an inflight fire and an explosion led to the separation of the tail section prior to the crash. Superficial mechanical inspection of the aircraft which was carried out without the use of monitoring instruments and subsequent unjustified decision to extend the time between overhauls. Inadequate monitoring to determine the state of structural elements and detect the presence of corrosion in hard-to-reach areas under the floor of the fuselage. Failure to carry out prescribed anticorrosion measures on the aircraft structure during Page 4156 of 4941

While landing the aircraft overran the runway, hit a concrete drainage ditch, when through a fence and came to rest on a highway where it caught fire. On a positioning flight, while taking off the plane suffered engine failure, overran the runway and crashed into a vacant building. After making two approaches the pilot decided to head back to the departure airport. He flew north at an altitude beneath minimum radar coverage. The plane impacted the frozen ArctiOcean in a right bank and at a 60 degree nose-down attitude. The pilot's intentional VFR flight into instrument meteorological conditions and his failure to maintain altitude and clearance from terrain. A contributing factor was the weather conditions.

A stray bullet from training soldiers struck the landing plane, hitting an oxygen cylinder. A fire broke out and control of the plane was lost and it crashed.



During the final stage of a visual approach, one of the aircraft's engines failed. The crew failed to correctly identify the problem and because of the flight regime, the propeller did not autofeather. The approach was continued, however, as the aircraft descended through about 2,000ft., power was applied at the start of a goaround. Control was lost and the aircraft crashed.

The aircraft touched down at excessive speed, far down the runway threshold, bounced twice and overran the runway. The aircraft crashed into Nimitz Hill, 3 miles short of Runway 06R, while making a nonprecision approach in heavy rain to A.B. Won Guam International Airport. The runway glide slope system was inoperative. In addition, the Minimum Safe Altitude Warning system (MSAW) was also not working due to a software problem. The captain’s failure to adequately brief and execute the nonprecision approach and the first officer's and flight engineer's failure to effectively monitor and cross-check the captain’s execution of the approach. Contributing to these failures were the captain's fatigue and Page 4180 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 were the captain's fatigue and Korean Air's inadequate flight crew training. Contributing to the accident was the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) intentional inhibition of the MSAW at Guam and the agency's failure to adequately manage the system. Immediately after taking off the plane went into a nose-high attitude, stalled and crashed to the ground. The probable cause of the accident, which resulted from the airplane being misloaded to produce a more aft center of gravity and a correspondingly incorrect stabilizer trim setting that precipitated an extreme pitch-up at rotation, was (1) the failure of Fine Air to exercise operational control over the cargo loading process and (2) the failure of Aeromar to load the airplane as specified by Fine Air. Contributing to the accident was Page 4184 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 mountainous terrain 15 minutes before it was due to land at Medan on a flight from Jakarta. The aircraft crashed 20 miles from the airport. ATC error in directing the plane in the wrong direction into mountainous terrain that was obscured by smoke and haze due to forest fires in the area. Collided with terrain at the 9,900 foot level on the Uncompahgre Plateau. The pilot's failure to maintain sufficient airspeed for undetermined reasons while maneuvering the airplane near maximum gross weight and aft center of gravity in or near instrument meteorological conditions, which resulted in a loss of control and entry into a stall/spin. Crashed 3km short of the runway at Banjul International Airport in heavy rain and thunderstorms. The aircraft crashed near Page 4200 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Nuevo Berlin, a town on the banks of the Uruguay River, after changing its route to avoid heavy rain and hail. A crater 25 feet deep crater was created where the plane crashed into the earth. Pitot heater failure. Crashed in poor weather. The aircraft had just finished performing 3 touch-and-go landings at Monterey Peninsula Airport. Shortly after taking off a fourth time, witnesses heard the engine make popping noises, bank to the right, pitch up, and go into a steep dive from about a 500 foot altitude and crash into the sea about 150 yards offshore. Singer John Denver, 53, who was piloting the plane, was killed. Denver, an experienced pilot with over 2,800 flying hours, had only a little over an hour in the experimental plane. The accident was caused by the Page 4204 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 inadvertent application of right rudder by the pilot as he attempted to manipulate the fuel selector handle. The unmarked fuel selector handle in this aircraft was located in a hard to reach area behind the pilot's left shoulder, instead of between his legs. This required removing his harness and reaching behind. While turning around, he inadvertently pressed down on the plane's right rudder pedal causing the aircraft to roll and go into a dive. Contributing factors were, Denver took off with too little fuel in one tank which led to the necessity of switching to his backup tank. Also it was difficult to determine how much fuel was in the tanks due to the unmarked fuel quantity sight gauge. Crashed during a landing attempt. Crashed while en route. The pilot continued flight into Page 4208 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 adverse weather and lighting conditions which did not enable him to avoid collision with terrain. Contributing factors to this occurrence were the aircraft's unserviceability for single pilot IFR flight and the lack of guidance to company pilots as to weather limits for night VFR flight. A few minutes after takeoff a distress call was received from the aircraft after which it ditched into the sea 200 yards offshore. The pilot's disregard for lateral fuel loading limits, his improper removal of frost prior to takeoff, and the resulting inadvertent stall/spin. Factors involved in this accident were the improper asymmetrical fuel loading which reduced lateral aircraft control, the self-induced pressure to takeoff on time by the pilot, and inadequate surveillance of the company operations by company management.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The military aircraft, bound for Vladivostok, crashed into a residential neighborhood twenty seconds after taking off. All four engines failed after the computer system began shutting them down shortly after takeoff. Design flaw which led to uncoordinated operation of the high-pressure compressors. Crashed during the second approach right of the approach path. While the aircraft was being manoeuvred at a very low level in marginal weather, it descended after an abrupt turn and flew, in controlled flight, into the terrain. Crew procedural error. The aircraft was 1,000 pounds heavier than the maximum allowable weight. The GPS installed in aircraft was not approved as a primary navigational aid.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 holding at 3,300 feet due to heavy traffic. Tower tapes indicate that after the missed approach, the crew reported they were heading north when they actually were heading west. An investigation revealed the crew had poor training, flew too low, didn't know how to use the radar equipment and failed to declare an emergency after they missed the landing strip. A second crash occurred when a C-130 transport plane on its way to pick up troops to assist in the search, crashed into Pastra Mountain. The plane disappeared off radar screens and shortly after, crashed into the Musi River. The plane, almost brand-new, cruising in good weather and with an experienced crew, suddenly left normal flight from 35,000 feet and crashed at a high rate of speed into the Sumatran jungle.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 and parts of the rudder separated from the aircraft before it crashed. The Indonesian National Transportation Committee found that there was insufficient evidence to find a cause for the accident. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board strongly disagreed and stated the jet's cockpit voice recorder was intentionally disconnected and its flight controls placed in a nose-down position most likely by the captain. While the U.S. NTSB stopped short of using the term suicide, its dissenting report made it clear it believed the crash was the result of actions by the captain. In July 2004 a California jury found the manufacturer of the PCU valve that controls rudder responsible for the accident after the valve was located and showed defects which may have led to a rudder hardover.

May have been shot down. Two hours into the flight, at FL 310, the plane received reports of severe clear air turbulence in the area and the seat belt sign was turned on. Moments later, the aircraft suddenly dropped around one hundred feet seriously injuring many passengers and causing damage to the aircraft. The plane landed safely back at Tokyo, but one passenger died of her injuries. Crashed into dense jungle, 4 miles short of its destination in heavy fog. During takeoff, the cargo plane drifted off the runway to the left returned, drifted to the right, over ran the runway, became airborne and collided with trees. Page 4232 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The pilot's failure to remove the control lock prior to takeoff and his failure to abort the takeoff when he was unable to initiate a climb, resulting in the aircraft over running the runway and colliding with trees on the departure end of the runway. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's self-induced pressure to arrive at his destination to attend a family affair. The aircraft was on a flight from Kandahar to Herat but was forced to return to Kandahar because of poor weather when it crashed into a mountain 70 miles north of Quetta in Khojak Pass. The last message from the pilot was 'we are running low on fuel.' Crashed due to fuel starvation. Fog and low visibility forced the plane to divert to divert to Brno.

Flight 387 originated in Manila on a flight to Tacloban and Cagayan de Oro. The aircraft crashed while on approach to Cagay de Oro into a remote mountainous area. Wreckage was found near the town of Pagalungan, NE of Cagay de Oro. The last radio message from the pilot was 'leveling off at 5,000 feet sir.' The cockpit voice recorder revealed that the GPWS warned of terrain a dozen times just before impact. The crew apparently got lost in a cloud, never realizing they were headed into a mountain. Pilot error, inadequate training standards and deficient equipment. Page 4240 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 final, and when the aircraft was over the runway, the left wing broke upwards. The fuselage inverted, struck the runway and slid 2,500 feet and came to rest on the left side of the runway. PC: The crew did not realize that the pull to the left and the extended take-off run were due to the left brakes' dragging, which led to overheating of the brake components. The dragging caused overheating and leakage, probably at one of the piston seals that retain the brake hydraulifluid. When hydraulifluid leaked onto the hot brake components, the fluid caught fire and initiated an intense fire in the left nacelle, leading to failure of the main hydraulisystem. When the L WING OVHT light went out, the overheating problem appeared corrected; however, the fire continued to burn. The crew never realized that all of the Page 4272 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 problems were associated with a fire in the wheel well, and they did not realize how serious the situation was. The left wing was weakened by the wing/engine fire and failed, rendering the aircraft uncontrollable. The helicopter impacted a mountain on a sightseeing trip. The pilot's decision to continue VFR flight into deteriorating weather conditions consisting of lowering ceilings and visibility in mountainous terrain, which resulted in the inadvertent entry into instrument meteorological conditions and a collision with a mountainside. A factor in the accident was the failure of the chief pilot, who had directly observed the deteriorating weather conditions, to direct the following pilots to avoid the area. The cargo plane lifted off from the runway, slowly sank and impacted the sea. The plane Page 4276 of 4941

The pilot had reported an engine problem about 20 minutes earlier. Shortly after taking off the plane pitched up, stalled and crashed to the ground. The pitch-up was caused by an uncommanded downward movement of the horizontal stabilizer. This was due to a partial detachment of the actuator forward bearing support fitting due to the noninstallation of required hi-lok fasteners. The aircraft touched down briefly, overran the runway and crashed into the sea in strong winds. Midair collision. The Beechcraft was on a flight from Lyon to Lorient, approaching Lorient, when it requested permission to fly over the ocean liner Norway. Page 4284 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 fly over the ocean liner Norway. While circling the Norway, it collided with the Cessna. One killed aboard the Cessna, 14 aboard the Beechcraft. Failure of both pilots to 'see and avoid' each other under VFR condition. The pilot made three low passes over the water in an attempt to land at Kincolith. On the fourth approach, the aircraft touched down, apparently in a controlled manner, and skipped on the water surface. The floats then dug into the water followed by the right wing, which was severed from the fuselage on water impact. The aircraft quickly overturned and came to rest inverted with only the bottom of the floats visible. All five occupants drowned. On touchdown, the floats struck the water and caused a flying attitude that the pilot could not control before the right wing dug in and the aircraft overturned. Page 4288 of 4941

The taking off with the elevator trim set to the full nose-up position. This resulted in the nose of the aircraft pitching up after rotation, causing the pilot to lose control of the aircraft. The aircraft was on a flight from Rangoon to Tachilek when it was diverted to Heho due to poor weather conditions. After the aircraft was reported missing, wreckage was found on Payakha Mountain, near Manibagi. It was five days before officials announced that the plane had crashed as an effort was made to hide the accident. There are reports that some survived the crash, only to be tortured and murdered by nearby villagers who thought it was a military plane.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 taking off in a snowstorm. Crashed during a fourth visual approach attempt to Airai Airport in heavy rain. The homebuilt plane was attempting to land at Lee Airport in Maryland when it crashed into Beard's Creek. coming to rest inverted in 18 feet of water. Actor, William Gardner Knight, 56, who was piloting the aircraft was killed. The pilot's failure to maintain adequate altitude/clearance from the trees. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's unfamiliarity with the geographilocation and dark night conditions. While en route, the cargo plane made a right turn in the vicinity of Beaver Point, and began to head towards high ground north of the Victoria airport. The aircraft then began a gradual, descending turn to the left in a southeasterly direction before Page 4320 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 southeasterly direction before striking trees near Mount Tuam peak. The crew would have encountered the lower ceiling in the vicinity of Beaver Point. This lower layer of cloud would have restricted the crew's view of the ground lighting and reduced the ambient lighting available to navigate by visual means. With the loss of ground references, it is unlikely that the crew would have been able to perceive the divergence of the aircraft's flight path away from its intended track by visual means. The crew was unable to maintain separation between the aircraft and the terrain by visual means. Windshear or strong crosswinds caused the aircraft to crash as it was taking off. On a positioning flight, the aircrafted rolled over and crashed inverted 17 miles south of the airport it took off from. The pilot's in flight loss of Page 4324 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 balance limitations After completing an air refueling mission the plane pitched upward, stalled and crashed. Shortly after taking off, the cargo plane began to lose altitude until it hit trees, went off a cliff and crashed to a valley floor. The accident flight was not conducted in accordance with the night obstacle clearance requirements of Canadian Aviation Regulation. The Kelowna Flightcraft company operations manual did not reflect the restrictive conditions imposed on night visual flight rules (VFR) flight by CAR 705.32. Such information might have prevented the accident by ensuring the crew's awareness of those night obstacle clearance standards. After initiating a goaround, the aircraft veered left and commenced a shallow climb before suddenly rolling right and Page 4336 of 4941

The pilot initiated a goaround from final approach because of a vehicle on the airstrip. The left propeller showed little evidence of rotation damage. The reason for a possible loss of left engine power could not be determined. For reasons that could not be established, the pilot lost control of the aircraft at a low height. While taking off the aircraft stalled, crashed and caught fire. Incorrectly set flaps for takeoff. The plane, on a relief mission to Bluefields was waved off from landing because of a blocked runway. While navigating around for another landing attempt, the aircraft crashed into mountainous terrain. The plane was on a flight to Lucapa, when it was forced to return to Luanda due to engine trouble.

A self-locking nut, other than a castle nut with cotter pin as specified, had been installed at the bolt for connection between the pull rod and bellcranck in the elevator control system. The nut screwed off, resulting in bolt loss, which led to the loss of pitch control. While approaching New Delhi Airport, the plane suddenly veered off its landing path and crashed into a building site and careened into a water tank reservoir. A witness said the plane came in very low and crashed, exploded and burned after severing power lines. A heavy layer of fog covered the area prior to the crash. The crash site was 1.5 miles from the airport. Crashed into Huirotico Hill. Wreckage found 4 days later. On approach, the crew of the cargo plane descended to MDA Page 4348 of 4941

On the second approach the captain descended below MDA and the aircraft struck the ground in controlled flight 2 nm short of the runway. The aircraft was destroyed. The captain decided to descend below the minimum descent altitude without the required visual references. After descending below MDA, both pilots were preoccupied with acquiring and maintaining visual contact with the ground and did not adequately monitor the flight instruments; thus, the aircraft flew into the ice. The pilot-in-command lost control during touch-and-go landing and crashed. The aircraft departed Adana to pick up Turkish pilgrims. The plane crashed 9 minutes after taking off in poor weather conditions. Severe weather Page 4352 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 probably contributed to the cause of the accident. Pitot antiicing system was probably not activated because of missed checklist items. The crew failed to recognize the cause of erratiairspeed indications and failed to use other cockpit indications for control and recovery of the aircraft. The aircraft crashed into La Caida Hill in fog, 10 minutes from its destination. The aircraft was off course. Shortly after taking off and after getting into a disagreement with the first officer about the planes altitude, the captain pushed down on the control column and the plane entered a rapid descent. Both crew members tried to recover from the dive but were unable to gain control and the plane crashed into the ground and was destroyed. Crashed into the ocean during a heavy rain.

The sightseeing helicopter impacted a glacier.The pilot's continued VFR flight into adverse weather, spatial disorientation, and failure to maintain aircraft control. Factors associated with the accident were pressure by the company to continue flights in marginal weather, and the 'flat' lighting leading to whiteout conditions. The aircraft was 19 miles or six minutes out of Goroka when it crashed into a hillside. At the time of the crash, the pilot was in routine communication with Goroka and gave no indications of any problems.

After forcing the co-pilot out of the cockpit he ordered the captain to fly to a U.S. Air Force base in western Tokyo. When he refused, he stabbed the captain and seized the controls. After a sudden drop in altitude, the co-pilot and an off duty crew member entered the cockpit and overpowered the hijacker. A one point the plane plunged to within 984 feet of the ground. The plane ultimately landed safely but the captain died of his injuries. The plane crashed into Patascoy mountain at 7,000 ft. on a reconnaissance flight over drug producing areas.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The aircraft was named Thutmosis III. The accident was caused by the relief first officer's flight control inputs which caused the airplane's departure from normal cruise flight and subsequent impact with the AtlantiOcean. The reason for the first officer's actions were not determined by the NTSB. One could conclude the actions were deliberate in an attempt to commit suicide. A witness observed the aircraft approach the airstrip from the west, for landing to the east. While on final approach, power fluctuations were heard. The aircraft touched down on the approach end of the airstrip, then bounced into the air to about 20 feet. The witness then heard the pilot apply corrective power for about three to five seconds before full power was applied. Aircraft control was not maintained. The pilot's improper Page 4408 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 runway. The charter flight crashed in the Kahuzi-Biega National Park. Shortly after taking off the ADI comparator alarm sounded three times. Shortly afterwards, the warning sounded a further two times. As the captain initiated a procedural turn to the left, the comparator warning sounded 9 more times.. The aircraft then banked left progressively and entered a descent until it struck the ground in a 40 degree nose down attitude at a high rate of speed. The pilots did not respond appropriately to the comparator warnings during the climb after takeoff from Stansted despite prompts from the flight engineer. The commander, as the handling pilot, maintained a left roll control input, rolling the aircraft to approximately 90 of left bank and there was no control input to correct the pitch Page 4436 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 attitude throughout the turn. The first officer either did not monitor the aircraft attitude during the climbing turn or, having done so, did not alert the commander to the extreme unsafe attitude that developed. The plane was hijacked and subsequently flown to Amritsar, India, Lahore, Pakistan, alMinhar Air Base, Dubai and Kandahar, Afghanistan. The hijacking lasted 7 days. One crewmember was killed. While on approach, after circling for 40 minutes and 5 miles from Valencia Airport, the aircraft crashed into the Tocuyito mountain range and exploded in flames. The airport at Valencia was being used as operations at Simon Bolivar International Airport, Caracas had been disrupted by flooding in the region. The aircraft crashed 5 minutes after taking off from Simara. Page 4440 of 4941

While on a positioning flight the aircraft crashed into the Black Sea after stating they were diverting to Ankara Turkey. During a visual approach the aircraft stalled and pancaked 400 ft. short of the runway. The aircraft crashed shortly after taking off, 8 km from the airport in light rain. After departing, the captain turned the aircraft to the right instead of to the left. The first officer advised the captain he should be turning right and ATC also asked about the direction taken. ATC then cleared the aircraft for a right turn. Soon after, the pitch decreased rapidly accompanied by a marked speed increase and plane entered a high speed, high-rate, spiral descent and crashed into an open field. The flight crew reacted Page 4444 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 inappropriately to the change in departure clearance SID ZUE 1Y by ATC. The first officer made an entry in the FMS, without being instructed to do so by the commander, which related to the change to the SID ZUE 1 standard instrument departure. In doing so, he omitted to select a turn direction. The captain dispensed with use of the autopilot under instrument flight conditions and during the work-intensive climb phase of the flight. The captain took the aircraft into a spiral dive to the right because, with a probability bordering on certainty, he had lost spatial orientation. The first officer took only inadequate measures to prevent or recover from the spiral dive. The aircraft was on a flight from Tripoli to Marsa el-Brega Libya ferrying oil workers.

The pilot's response to an alarm that inaccurately indicated the plane had stalled. The pilot failed to complete established procedure for such an emergency. Takeoff conditions also contributed to the accident, which occurred at night, hampering the crew's ability to judge the plane's distance from the sea. The military flight crashed after losing its engines after striking birds,unable to return to land. Engine problems forced the pilot to return to the airport. However, he overshot the runway and crashed into the sea. One passenger was rescued by fishermen. Major General Santiago Madrid, chief of the southwestern military command, killed.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The airplane impacted level terrain, covered by smooth, wind-blown, snow, in a left bank of 26 degrees or greater. The pilot's attempted flight into adverse weather, and his failure to maintain altitude/clearance above the snow-covered tundra. Factors associated with the accident were snow, rain, and whiteout conditions. The cargo plane lost altitude after taking off and crashed into a auto salvage yard and burned. A loss of pitch control resulting from the disconnection of the right elevator control tab. The disconnection was caused by the failure to properly secure and inspect the attachment bolt. While attempting to land at Burbank Airport, the plane overran the runway, collided with a metal blast fence and an airport perimeter wall and came to rest on a city street near a gas station.

In the accident sequence, the nose gear collapsed, the forward service door (1R) escape slide inflated inside the airplane and the forward dual flight attendant jumpseat, which was occupied by two flight attendants, partially collapsed. Two passengers sustained serious injuries and 41 passengers and the captain sustained minor injuries. The flightcrew's excessive airspeed and flight path angle during the approach and landing and its failure to abort the approach when stabilized approach criteria were not met. Contributing to the accident was the controller's positioning of the airplane in such a manner as to leave no safe options for the flightcrew other than a goPage 4472 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 position 15 nm off the coast of Whyalla. No further transmissions were heard from the plane and the wreckage was found in Spencer Gulf the next morning. Malfunction of both engines due to the failure of components of the engines. A fractured connecting rod in the left engine led the pilot to increase the power setting in the right engine, leading to the No. 6 piston being holed in the right engine. The plane made a hard landing, short of the runway and broke in two during a heavy rainstorm. Engaged in an air ambulance operation, the plane crashed into the sea, in the estuary of the River Mersey, 0.8 nm from Liverpool Airport while on approach to land. The pilot lost control of the aircraft at a late stage of the approach due either to disorientation, distraction, incapacitation, or a combination Page 4500 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 There was fog and rain in the area at the time. Flying VFR, deviation to avoid weather resulted in spatial disorientation of the crew which led to descending below a safe flying altitude to clear high ground. The cargo plane had 19 people aboard when it crashed into a farm after losing the No. 2 engine, two minutes after taking off from Villavicencio. The plane, on a positioning flight crashed into rugged woods during an approach to land. The pilot's continued VFR flight into IMC conditions, by failing to maintain altitude, and descending from VFR conditions into IMC, which resulted in him subsequently impacting with trees. Factors in this accident were: reduced visibility due to dark night and fog. An additional factor was the pilot was not certified for instrument flight. Page 4508 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 While attempting to land at Patna, the aircraft was too high and the crew attempted a goaround. During the second landing attempt, the aircraft was again high, veered to left and lost altitude until it crashed into houses in the Gardanibagh district and burst into flames. The cause of the accident was loss of control of the aircraft due to crew error. The crew did not followed the correct approach procedure, which resulted in the aircraft being high on approach. The crew then initiated a 'goaround procedure' instead of an 'approach to stall recovery procedure' resulting in an actual stall of the aircraft, loss of control and subsequent impact with the ground. After declaring an emergency the cargo plane crew requested the nearest airport. The aircraft soon after descended out of control and crashed on the Page 4512 of 4941

A metal strip left on the runway by another plane gashed one of the Concorde's tires which blew out sending a piece of rubber into the underside of the wing which sent a shockwave which ruptured a seam in the fuel tank. An electrical severed by another piece of rubber sparked which ignited leaking fuel ignited and started an uncontrollable fire. Power was lost to the No. 1 and No. 2 engines which led to loss of control of the aircraft and subsequent crash. Investigation revealed the metal strip was probably a thrust reverser part from Continental Airlines DC-1030 , registered N13067 which departed Paris as Flight 055 to Newark. This is the first crash of a Concorde in aviation history. Crashed on a training flight. Page 4520 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 were killed on the Navajo as were a pilot instructor and his student on the Seminole. Failure of the pilots of the two airplanes to see and avoid each other and maintain proper airspace separation during visual flight rules. The plane was approaching Tshikapa and the pilot informed the tower that it was having difficulties with its landing gear. The tower told the pilot to do a low fly-by for an evaluation and then make an emergency landing but the pilot refused and attempted to return to Kinshasa. The plane crashed 40 miles north of Tshikapa. The float plane took off, entered a steep climb, stalled and crashed into the water. The pilot's decision to depart from the unlit location was likely the result of the many psychological and physiological stressors encountered during the day. Page 4528 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 from an altitude of 1,000 feet and crashed into the shallow waters of the gulf approximately 1 mile from the airport. The accident was a result of a fatal combination of factors, including the captain's failure to comply with standard operating procedures and the copilot's actions in not drawing the captain's attention to the deviations of the aircraft from the standard flight parameters. The captain may have suffered a 'spatial disorientation' to ground warning systems, which could have made him falsely perceive the aircraft was pitching up. He responded by making a nose down input, resulting in the aircraft starting to descend, when aircraft warning systems were saying he should increase altitude. The aircraft, was on an aroundthe-island tour when it's right engine caught fire. While Page 4536 of 4941

The plane crashed head-on into 5,360 ft. Arenal volcano, 95 miles north of San Jose shortly after taking off from La Fortuna. The pilot was flying VFR and deviated from his course by 12 miles, most likely to give passengers a view of the volcano which had erupted earlier in the week. The reason the crew did not see the volcano is not known. Possibly, with changing meteorological conditions in the area, the volcano may have been obscured by clouds.

After receiving special VFR clearance the cargo plane flew into a small hill. The pilot's attempted flight into known adverse weather conditions, and his subsequent failure to maintain altitude above, or clearance with, trees. Factors contributing to the accident included low ceilings, fog, the pilot's low-altitude flight, rising terrain, and trees. The cause of this accident was the pilot's excessive takeoff rotation, during an aft center of gravity takeoff, a rearward migration of fuel during acceleration and takeoff and consequent shift in the airplane's aft c.g. to aft of the aft c.g. limit, which caused the airplane to stall at an altitude too low for recovery.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The aircraft crashed into a mountain at 4,800 ft., in poor weather, while making an apporach to Sam Neua. Communications were lost with the aircraft as it approached Mt. Tirina at 4,250 feet, preparing to land at Batumi. The aircraft was seen rapidly descending into mountainous terrain. A large explosion followed as the plane crashed somewhere between the towns of Batumi and Kabuleti in heavy rain. Navigation error made by the crew in the final stage of the landing approach. Error by the Batumi ATC who failed to locate the plane and conform it to the crew. Erroneous data shown by ground radio-technical facilities at Batumi airport. Weather conditions at the time were extremely poor due to typhoon Xiang Sane. A NOTAM issued on Aug 31, 2000 indicated that Runway 05R was Page 4568 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 closed due to construction between Sep 13 and Nov 22. After reaching the end of Taxiway NP, the plane turned onto Taxiway N1 and then made a 180-degree turn onto Runway 05R and began its takeoff roll. Approximately 3.5 seconds after reaching V1, the aircraft hit construction equipment on the runway, crashed back to the ground, broke up and burst into flames. The pilot attempted to take off from a closed runway. The following factors contributed to the accident. Of three lights used to guide the aircraft onto the correct runway, one was not working and another dim. The airport lacked 'guard lights' used to help pilots navigate from the taxiway to the correct runway during times of poor visibility. International regulations require that a large white X be placed on the tarmaat the entrance to a closed runway, but there was Page 4572 of 4941

Whether there should have been, in this case, however, is itself a contentious matter as the runway remained open for taxiing. The aircraft exploded in midair 20 minutes after taking off from Saurimo. UNITA rebels claimed they shot down the plane. Due to a blown tire on takeoff the pilot aborted the takeoff, overran the runway, came to rest in a cemetery and caught fire. During takeoff, the cargo plane struck trees, crashed and caught fire. The indicated failure of the right hand AC bus during takeoff with low ceiling. The factors were the low ceiling, night, and the execssive workload the pilot experienced on takeoff with an electrical failure without a second in command. The plane crashed and Page 4576 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 cause for the explosion was unclear. The center fuel tank is located near air conditioning packs which generate heat, and were running nonstop prior to the explosion. The plane was on a flight from Florida to Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia when witnesses observed the plane gliding down and losing altitude until it impacted the ground, exploding into flames. Heavy rain and wind were present in the area at the time of the accident. Weight imbalances in the aircraft were the primary cause of the accident as the cargo shifted when the pilot got up and walked through the plane toward the rear of the plane, unbalancing the aircraft just as it hit severe turbulence. This led to the loss of control and break-up of the aircraft. The plane was hijacked and flown to Medina, Saudi Arabia. Page 4600 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 tones. The sightseeing plane impacted the side of a mountain in poor visibility. The pilot's continued flight into known adverse weather conditions, and his poor in-flight decision making. Factors associated with the accident were clouds and mountainous terrain. A finding is the pilot's use of FAA prohibited drugs. The cargo plane crashed into a hill and broke up. Crew did not follow standard operating procedures. Crew fatigue. The sightseeing helicopter crashed and burned about 3,700 feet up the 5,600-foot Grand Wash Cliffs just outside the boundaries of Grand Canyon National Park. The aircraft was returning to McCarran International Airport where it had originated. Besides the pilot, all victims, including the one survivor, were members Page 4628 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 the one survivor, were members of the same family. The pilot's decision to maneuver the helicopter in a flight regime and in a high density altitude environment which significantly decreased the helicopter's performance capabilities, resulting in a high rate of descent from which recovery was not possible. Factors contributing to the accident were high density altitude and the pilot's decision to maneuver the helicopter in proximity to precipitous terrain, which effectively limited remedial options available. After an engine failed the crew declared an emergency and elected to divert to Bukavu but crashed 10 km short of the airport. The crew reported that they had a loss of fuel and were going to have to divert to Lajes. Shortly thereafter, they said that they Page 4632 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 only had five minutes of fuel and probably would not reach Lajes. The Airbus 330, without engine power, glided for almost 20 minutes, descending from for more than 30,000 ft. before landing safely at Lajes Airport. Several tires blew out causing a fire which was quickly extinguished by emergency crews. Eleven passengers were slightly injured. The leak was caused by a damaged fuel feed pipe that was caused by interference from the aft hydraulipump. Mechanics did not completely follow a RollsRoyce service bulletin. In addition, software mistakenly identified the fuel leak as a fuel imbalance, prompting the crew to respond erroneously to the situation. The official report stated the cause was the pilots responded incorrectly to the fuel leak. The pilots acted from memory rather than utilizing a Page 4636 of 4941

Shortly after taking off the cargo plane crashed into a wooded area about one-half mile from the runway. The pilot's failure to maintain a proper climb rate while taking off at night, which was a result of spatial disorientation. Factors in the accident were the low visibility and cloud conditions, and the dark night. The aircraft crashed in flames approximately 200 ft. past the end of the runway while attempting to take off. The plane was overloaded by several hundred pounds and the weight improperly distributed, causing the pilot to lose control of the aircraft.

The aircraft crash-landed on a highway near Ruiz Picasso Airport in Málaga. While on final approach, the pilot reported failure of the plane's left engine forcing the crew to make an emergency landing. The plane crashed 1,300 ft. short of the runway. The pilot later died of his injuries. The aircraft was hijacked after taking off from Newark International Airport. The hijackers took control of the aircraft and turned the plane towards Washington D.C. A struggle ensued between the passengers and hijackers after which the plane crashed at a high rate of speed into a field in the Pennsylvania countryside. It was one of four planes that were hijacked the same day. Page 4644 of 4941

The aircraft crashed 4.4 miles from Kura Airport shortly after a normal takeoff. The plane was flying at about 1,500 feet when it began turning onto a course requested by the air trafficontroller. It did not stop turning and suddenly plunged to the ground. While the aircraft was over Belo Horizonte, the cabin depressurized, causing the death of one passenger. The aircraft made an emergency landing at Cofins. Three of the other 77 passengers aboard suffered minor injuries. Pressurization was lost at an altitude of 33,000 feet when the right engine disintegrated, causing pieces of the engine to break two cabin windows. Page 4652 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The aircraft was taking off from Guatemala's Aurora Airport when it lost power in one of it's engines and crashed to the ground. Witnesses to the accident reported that shortly after departing from the northbound turf runway the pilot initiated a 360-degree turn to the right (east). Shortly before completing the turn, the aircraft banked sharply to the left, pitched down, and collided with trees in a nose-low attitude. The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed during a low altitude turn, resulting in a stall. The pilot exceeding the aircraft's maximum gross takeoff weight was a factor. The aircraft exploded in mid-air at 36,000 ft. while en route over the Black Sea. The plane then nose-dived crashing into the water.

The aircraft was taking off from Linate Airport in fog and poor visibility when it struck a German Cessna Citation II business jet. The MD-87 then swerved off the runway and collided with the airport's baggage handling building, bursting into flames. The Cessna, which was about to take off for Paris, entered the active runway by mistake, after having been told by the tower to enter a different runway. One hundred four passengers and 6 crew on the MD-87 and 2 passengers and 2 crew on the Citation were killed along with 4 on the ground. The MD-87 was named Lage Viking.

In addition, despite the poor visibility, control tower operators failed to ask the Cessna to read back his instructions to make sure they were understood. The seaplane crashed into Mollet Lake while attempting to land. The seaplane stalled at an altitude that did not allow the pilot time to recover from the stall. The stall occurred in circumstances conducive to illusions created by drift. Shortly after taking off from Dillingham, the aircraft's wing dipped, the nose pitched up, the plane became inverted and crashed to the ground.

Contributing to the accident was the lack of a preflight inspection requirement for CE-208 pilots to examine at close range the upper surface of the wing for ice contamination when ground icing conditions exist. The plane was en-route from Barcelona, Spain to Oran, Algeria, 80 miles off the coast of Valencia, Spain when it informed Valencia ATC it was going to change course in order to avoid bad weather. There was no further contact with the aircraft. Debris was sighted two days later on the water.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 most likely led to the captain losing situational awareness. Thirty minutes into the flight both engines quit and the pilot had to make an emergency landing in the rainforest. The helicopter was flying very low because the pilot was not instrument rated. The skid hit the water followed by the tail rotor and the helicopter crashed. The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from the surface of an open body of water while intentionally attempting to maintain a very low altitude while in cruise flight. Factors include falling snow, low ceilings, whiteout/greyout conditions, and flat/glassy water. Three minutes after taking off and while in a climbing left turn, at 2,800 ft., parts of the plane, including the vertical stabilizer and rudder, fell from the aircraft. The crew soon lost control of Page 4672 of 4941

After flying into the wake turbulence of two aircraft about two minutes into the flight, investigators believe a series of quick rudder swings by the copilot whipped the tail so severely that the fin broke off. The National Transportation Safety Board has found that pilot error was the probable cause. Sharply criticizing American Airlines Advanced Aircraft Maneuvering Program, the Board said that American Airlines' pilot training included a simulator exercise which could have caused the first officer to have an unrealistiand exaggerated view of the effects of wake turbulence, erroneously associate wake turbulence encounters with the need for aggressive roll upset recovery techniques and develop control strategies that would produce a Page 4676 of 4941

The plane crashed into a marshy forested area about 2 kilometer short of its destination at Kardla Airport. Several errors by the pilot. The aircraft was flying through a mix of rain and snow on final approach, when it crashed in a wooded area, 5.5 miles from Zurich Airport where it was scheduled to land on Runway 28. At 22.03 the aircraft was descending to 4000 ft. on final approach. At 22.05 the captain reported reaching the minimum descent altitude and stated he could see the ground.

The cargo plane crashed into high ground less than 5 miles from the airport while on an ILS approach. The poor in-flight planning by the pilot-incommand for his initiation of the ILS approach to runway 05 with weather conditions below minimums for the approach contrary to the Federal Aviation Regulations, and the failure of the pilot to maintain control of the airplane during a missed approach resulting in the inflight collision with trees then terrain. While enroute the cargo plane on a positioning flight entered an uncontroled descent and crashed. Loss of control during descent for undetermined reasons. Page 4692 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The plane may have been shot down by Allied DemocratiForces rebels. The aircraft crashed into El Silencio de El manzanillo mountain at 7,800 ft., 3 minutes after taking off in heavy rain and poor visibility from Medellin Airport. After reaching a height of 500 ft. the aircraft began to loose altitude until the plane impacted the ground at the end of Runway 34. The crew lost spatial orientation after take-off, leading to an unintentional loss of altitude. The copilot's basitraining in instrument flying did not include night instrument take-offs. The crew's method of working was adversely affected by great time pressure. Executing the take-off as a rolling take-off was not adapted to the prevailing meteorological conditions. The aircraft crashed into the Page 4696 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 Forces troops the plane crashed 2.5 miles from the airstrip. Overloaded. The excessive cargo weight loaded on the aircraft at the Band E Sardeh Dam landing zone. The airliner and cargo plane collided over southern Germany at 35,400 ft. Debris was spread across a 20 mile radius. Fiftytwo children on a beach holiday were among the 69 aboard the Tupolev. The Tupolev pilot received contradictory instructions. The collision avoidance warning system (TCAS) told the pilot to ascend followed by an order from the Swiss air trafficontroller to descend one second later. The Russian plane did not immediately respond to the tower's order to descend, so he repeated the command 14 seconds later. Thirty seconds later the two planes collided. The Tupolev's TCAS was telling Page 4752 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 the pilots to ascend. The Boeing's TCAS was telling the pilots to descend. The Swiss air trafficontroller was telling the Tupolev's pilots to descend. The air trafficontroller that guided the planes had no way of knowing the Russian pilot was receiving contradictory instruction from his cockpit TCAS unless told so by the pilot. Russian aviation officials said the pilot correctly gave precedence to the control tower, but Western aviation experts said pilots are trained to give precedence to the cockpit warning. In addition, the controller was left alone on duty while his partner went on a break and was preoccupied with another aircraft. This was accepted policy at Skyguide, the Swiss air control company. In addition, maintenance crews, working on the computer system, limited the controller's information he was receiving Page 4756 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The aircraft lost power while taking off from Bracket Airport and crashed into picnickers on the shoreline of Puddingstone Lake in Bonelli Park. The plane was observed in a left bank, traveling approximately 30 feet above and parallel to the shoreline, before impacting two trees in a picniarea. Witnesses reported that they did not hear the engines running. The pilot made 3 consecutive mayday calls during the initial climb-out from runway 26L, however, the pilot did not indicate the nature of the emergency. Two children on the ground were killed. Fifteen others were injured. The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed which resulted in an inadvertent stall, and subsequent collision with terrain. A contributing factor was the pilot's impairment from the effects of prescription painkilling drugs. Page 4760 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The aircraft crashed 2 miles short of the runway into the Guitangola neighborhood of Bangui. The plane was bound for Brazzaville but diverted to Bangui because of mechanical problems. Two survived but succumbed to their injuries. The commercial pilot of the float-equipped airplane was transporting passengers to a lodge at a remote lake. When the airplane did not arrive at the lake, a search was initiated, and two days later the wreckage of the airplane was located on the side of a box canyon about the 2,400 foot elevation level. The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from terrain while maneuvering inside a box/blind canyon, resulting in an in-flight collision with terrain. A factor contributing to the accident was the box/blind canyon. Air trafficontrol lost contact with the aircraft 15 minutes before it Page 4764 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 show at Skniliv Airport in the Ukraine. The aircraft had just performed a steep turn when it appeared to tumble and enter a steep dive from which it failed to recover. The two pilots parachuted to safety. Pilot error. The pilots ignored their flight plans and performed untried and complicated maneuvers which led to a loss of control. Both received a jail sentence of 14 years. A Russian passenger airliner on a training flight crashed shortly after takeoff from Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport. After reaching an altitude of about 600 ft., the plane banked hard left, hit the ground and exploded. Sixteen of 18 crewmembers aboard were killed. Two flight attendants survived. Investigation revealed that the stabilizer spontaneously shifted to the full down position two seconds after takeoff. Six Page 4772 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 scattered over a small area. There was poor weather in the area at the time of the accident. The twin prop plane crashed into a cliff in dense fog as it prepared to land at Ayan. ATC lost contact with the aircraft 12 minutes before it was scheduled to land. The crew made four attempts to land before disappearing off radar. While attempting to land the air ambulance, the thrust reverser deployed lights did not illuminate, so the captain stowed the thrust reverse levers and activated them again with the same result. The captain then released and reapplied the brakes with no effect. The airplane then overran the runway and the right wing struck the ILS antennas and lighting. The plane came to rest and burst into flames. The captain's addition of forward thrust during the landing rollout, which Page 4784 of 4941

Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone, 58, killed, along with his wife, daughter, three staff members and a crew of two. During the later stages of the approach, the flight crew failed to monitor the airplane's airspeed and allowed it to decrease to a dangerously low level and to remain below the recommended approach airspeed for about 50 seconds. The flight crew failed to recognize that a stall was imminent and allowed the airplane to enter a stall from which they did not recover. The inadequate airspeed or the full course deviation indicator needle deflection should have prompted the flight crew to execute a go-around; however, they failed to do so.

Factors associated with the accident were the low ceilings, high winds, crosswind, and wind shear conditions that existed. While en route the stall warning sounded, the crew of the cargo plane disconnected the autopilot and the plane began to descend until it impacted the ocean. The Ukrainian passenger plane, crashed in a mountainous area 70 km from Isfanan, after losing contact with ground controllers as it prepared to land. Improper use of the Global Positioning System by the pilot. On a positioning flight, while on approach, the plane crashed into Croatan Sound.

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 The weather was clear, cold and windy, with greater than 10 miles visibility at the time of the accident. The airplane's loss of pitch control during takeoff was the result of incorrect rigging of the elevator control system compounded by the airplane's center of gravity, which was substantially aft of the certified aft limit. Contributing to the cause of the accident was: (1) Air Midwest's lack of oversight of the work being performed at the Huntington, West Virginia, maintenance station, (2) Air Midwest's maintenance procedures and documentation, (3) Air Midwest's weight and balance program at the time of the accident, (4) the Raytheon Aerospace quality assurance inspector's failure to detect the incorrect rigging of the elevator system, (5) the FAA's average weight assumptions in its weight and balance program guidance Page 4820 of 4941

While carrying a group of parachute jumpers, the aircraft began to disintegrate in mid-air while flying at an altitude of about 10,000 ft. The tail and left wing separated from the plane before it crashed into an area of deep snow. Many of the skydivers were able to jump out of the plane to safely before it crashed. The starboard engine caught fire and failed while the plane was attempting to take off. The aircraft continued about 2,000 ft. past the end of the runway and crashed. The accident was caused by the loss of an engine during a critical phase of flight, the non-retraction of the landing gear after the engine failure, and the Captain, the pilot not flying, taking over control of the airplane before having clearly identified the problem.

The aircraft, owned by a flying club as a rental airplane, was destroyed following an uncontrolled descent into terrain about 2 miles west of New Vienna, Iowa. The improper planning/decision by the pilot to fly into forecast icing conditions with an airplane not equipped with a certified deicing system. Also casual to the accident was the continued flight in known icing conditions and the pilot not performing flight to an alternate destination. A contributing factor was the pilot's lack of qualification as an air carrier. A large number of military personnel and their family members were sucked out of the plane after the aircraft's back ramp accidentally dropped open in flight. The ramp opened as the pressure system broke Page 4840 of 4941

A loss of engine power due to the fatigue fracture and separation of the compressor coupling adapter. The fatigue fracture was initiated by fretting on the pilot diameter due to both the inadequate design of the coupling and the coaxial misalignment of the spur adapter gear, compressorcoupling adapter, and compressor impeller during recent engine maintenance where the gearbox was removed and replaced. A factor in the accident was the unsuitable nature of the terrain to make an emergency landing. The aircraft crashed onto a road Page 4852 of 4941

During a positioning flight the jet crashed into several houses before ending up in a river. The first officer's inadvertent retraction of the flaps during the low altitude maneuvering, which resulted in the inadvertent stall and subsequent in-flight collision with a residential home. Factors in the accident were the captain's decision to perform a low altitude maneuver using excessive bank angle, the flight crews inadequate coordination, and low clouds surrounding the airport. The pilot decided to divert to Tocomita after experiencing engine problems but crashed into trees 100 meters short of the runway. The helicopter was flying at a 13-meter height when the pilot Page 4872 of 4941

Airplane Crashes and Fatalities Since 1908 headed for the bottom of the Grand Canyon, hit the face of a cliff and crashed in rugged terrain killing all aboard. Tourists were supposed to board a pontoon boat when the accident occurred 2/3 of the way down the canyon. The pilot's disregard of safe flying procedures and misjudgment of the helicopter's proximity to terrain. Contributing to the accident was the failure of Sundance Helicopters and the FAA to provide adequate surveillance of Sundance's air tour operations in Descent Canyon. Cashed as it approached Gaspé in fog and low ceiling. The pilot descended to the minimum descent altitude (MDA) without being established on the localizer track, thereby placing himself in a precarious situation with respect to the approach and to obstruction clearance.
