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.

Crashed at Rattlesnake Butte
after the plane lost engine
power. James Montijo, 40, the
man who taught Amelia Earhart
to fly, killed.
The plane crashed while en
route from Albuquerque to
Kansas City. After encountering
fog and poor visibility, the plane
was diverted to Kirksville where
witnesses reported the low
flying aircraft made contact with
the ground and crashed.
Whether the plane struck the
ground while the pilot was
emergency landing or because
the available fuel supply had
been exhausted, or for other
reasons, could not be
determined. New Mexico
Senator Bronson M. Cutting, 46,
killed. Improper clearance of the
airplane from Albuquerque by
the company's ground
personnel when the plane's two-
way radio was not functioning

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

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.

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.

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

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

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 DC-
2, both of which landed safely.
Crashed due to icing.

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.

After taking off from Salt Lake,

the aircraft proceeded in the
wrong direction and crashed
into the side of a hill 3.8 miles
northeast of the Salt Lake City
Airport. The point of impact was
at an elevation of 5,053 feet
above sea level and about 830
feet above the airport. A
deviation from the proper
course, for reasons
undetermined.
The plane hit an obstruction at

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

at the instant of structural
failure. The cause of the
airplane becoming inverted was
not determined.

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

The aircraft lost control and
spiraled into the ground after the
No. 1 engine caught on fire and
the left wing separated from the

attempting to land at Laramie.
Weather conditions were
deteriorating rapidly and worse
than predicted. The action of the
pilot in maneuvering the aircraft
at a dangerously low altitude
under extremely adverse
weather conditions in an attempt
to land. A contributing factor
was the negligence of the pilot
in planning a flight into an area
in which adverse weather
conditions were forecast without
making adequate provisions for
a suitable alternate airport.
Struck an 11,000 ft. mountain.
The plane crashed into a hill

and crashed 500 feet short of
the runway. 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

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.

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.

While cruising at 8,000 ft. in
clear weather, the aircraft went
into steep dive which the co-
pilot was able to pull out of at
350 feet from the ground. As a
prank, a captain riding in the

pilot, not knowing the gust lock
was engaged, rolled the

Crashed on takeoff.
The plane crashed after an in-

flight 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

ordered carbon dioxide
extinguishers installed. Earl

After about 750 feet, the tail
wheel made contact with the
runway. 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,

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

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

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.

seen losing altitude until it
crashed into trees 1.5 miles

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.

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
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

Flew into Mount Popa.
The plane returned after failure

of the No. 2 engine, stalled and
crashed 200 yards short of the
runway into parked aircraft and
a hanger. 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.

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

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 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.'

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

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.

could not have been due to the
absence of sufficient visual
reference in the prevailing

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

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

embedded in the mangled
fuselage and burst into flames.
The flight had been diverted to

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.

Crashed during approach.
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.

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

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.

flight. The aircraft was then
dived in an effort to attain
sufficient airspeed to drive the

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 check-
pilot 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.

available.
The cargo plane descended and
crashed into the ocean
attempting to take off. A loss of
power on the No.1 and 2
engines following takeoff, which
resulted in a gradual loss of
height. The probable slow
psycho-physical reaction of the

prevented perception of the
danger and the timely execution
of maneuvers to prevent the
accident, or minimize its
consequences.

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-moving-

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 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 4,090-
foot 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.

set the altimeters in the final
approach according to the
instructions in the operations
manual. This error was
aggravated by the fact that the
final approach check list did not
coincide with the altimeter
setting procedure. In
consequence the crew
unintentionally flew below
critical height and the aircraft
collided with trees when the
altimeters were showing approx.
200 ft. above the critical height.
Crashed into building while
landing.
Crashed into hill while on
approach. Improper procedures
used by crew.
Pilot misjudged altitude and
distance and crashed into a
mountain at 8,800 ft. Pilot tested
positive for alcohol.
Crashed after an explosion
aboard the aircraft.
Crashed due to bomb explosion.

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

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

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,

circumstances of another
aircraft taking off on that
runway.
The plane climbed to 700 ft. and
crashed into the ground.
Malfunctioning artificial horizon

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.

The plane landed in the shallow

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

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.

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. False fire warning which
prompted the shutting down of

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.

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

deployed causing the aircraft to
fall to the runway and lose the
No. 4 engine. With the wing on
fire, the captain decided to go-
around 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.

unconscious for an unknown
amount of time but had survived
the crash still strapped in her
seat. 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 knee-
high 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

assistance they could provide
but it was too late in the day to
start the journey back to
civilization; she slept one more

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 F-
102A 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.

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.

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.

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 aircraft took off from
Burbank when a propeller blade
separated, causing an engine
failure. The aircraft circled back
to the airport and attempted an
emergency landing but upon
touchdown the planes speed
was too great. As a result, the
landing was aborted and the
flight crew opted to divert to
nearby Van Nuys Airport. While
en route, a second engine failed
and the aircraft crashed onto the
Woodley Golf Course one mile
short of the runway at Van
Nuys. The aircraft plowed into a
small unoccupied building and
came to rest against a portable
bungalow.

The aircraft crashed while on
final approach. 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.

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

to make an emergency landing
in a large clearing in the bush.
The aircraft crash landed,
striking an irrigation ditch, cart-
wheeled, broke up and caught
fire. Soldiers from the Joshua
Nkomo's Zimbabwe Peoples

during a landing approach. Poor
monitoring of altitudes and too
early a transition from ILS to

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.'

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.
The aircraft hit a mountain while

on approach in level flight at an
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

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'

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 automatigo-
around 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

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 go-
around 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

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 F-
14 Iranian fighter. The aircraft
did not respond to 10 radio
challenges from the Vincennes.

The plane struck trees, losing
part of a wing after initiating a
go-around.
The aircraft bounced and came

down on its right wing tip while
attempting to land. The controls
were damaged and after an
attempted go-around and
reaching a height of 200 ft., the
plane rolled to the left and
crashed into trees on a hill.
Improper pilot techniques and
crew coordination during the
landing attempt, bounce and
attempted go-around.
Failure of the autopilot caused
the plane to enter a spiral

plane out caused the aircraft to
break-up in midair and crash
into a swamp.
A dry fuel pump led to the
ignition of fuel vapors.

The aircraft was making a night,

VOR instrument approach to
Runway 28. Visual
meteorological conditions
prevailed, except for some parts
of the airport which were
obscured by low cloud.
Approaching Runway 28, the
aircraft was too high to land and
the pilot chose instead to enter
a right downwind to land on
Runway 10. At approximately
400 feet above ground level on
final for Runway 10, the aircraft
entered some clouds, the base
of which were reported by the
tower operator to be at 10
meters. The aircraft continued
its descent, initially striking
some trees about 400 feet short

one of the main landing gear on
a hillside road about 200 feet
prior to the runway. The
aircraft, under full power and
nose up, began to climb, but
rolled inverted and crashed at
the threshold of Runway 10.
The wing fuel tanks were
ruptured and the fuselage,
trailing fire, slid across the
runway and stopped on the
parallel taxiway. A fire ensued
and airport fire and rescue
crews put out the fire within 10
minutes. Both pilots and one
passenger were killed by impact
and the remaining four
passengers were taken to the
hospital with moderate injuries.
The primary cause of the
accident was the pilot's decision
to descend without visual
reference to the surface. A

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 go-
around, the plane ran out of fuel
and crashed in a wooded area.

English and communicating
through the first officer, at no
time declared an emergency.

'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.

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 pre-
ignition) 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

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.

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

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

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

of height and control before the
chosen diversion airfield could
be reached. Poor Crew
Resource Management reduced
the potential for emergency

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

The helicopter crashed shortly
after takeoff. The ingestion of
foreign material (snow) in the
engine, which resulted in a
flameout (loss of engine power).
Factors related to the accident
were: the adverse weather
conditions (snow falling & high
density altitude), the lack of
snow covers to protect the
engine intakes while parked and
awaiting for the weather
conditions to improve, improper
planning/decision by the pilot
and the company/operator
management, inadequate
information in the flight manual,
and the lack of suitable terrain
for an emergency landing.
Shortly after taking off, the plane
experienced engine problems
and returned to the airport.

While on ILS approach to
Nagoya Airport, at an altitude of
1,000 feet, the first officer
inadvertently triggered the
TOGA (take-off-go-around)
lever. 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.

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

his concern about the situation
of either the captain's
incapacitation or the aircraft's
attitude and attempted a
recovery.

with a large flock of lapwings

While on a flight from New York

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

the crew had poor training, flew

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.

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

severed from the fuselage on
water impact. The aircraft
quickly overturned and came to

The plane took off from JFK at
1:19 a.m. bound for Cairo,
Egypt. Thirty-three minutes
later, after attaining an altitude
of 33,000 feet, it was observed
on radar in an extremely rapid
descent. The aircraft was
observed in a 66 degree dive at
483 knots. The descent
continued to 16,700 feet after
which the aircraft climbed to
24,000 ft. After that, the plane
began a second dive and broke
up at around 10,000 ft. crashing
into the AtlantiOcean, 60 miles
southeast of Nantucket Island.

caused by the relief first officer's
flight control inputs which
caused the airplane's departure
from normal cruise flight and
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

and the crew attempted a go-
around. During the second
landing attempt, the aircraft was
again high, veered to left and
lost altitude until it crashed into

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 'go-
around 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.

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 airplane climbed to about
100 to 150 feet above the
ground, and then began a
descending left turn. The
airplane collided with the ground
on a 095 degree heading. The
wreckage path extended for
about 300 feet, during which the
landing gear, left wing, and the
left engine separated from the
airplane. A postcrash fire
destroyed the fuselage, right
wing, and the right engine. The
pilot's failure to extend the
landing gear, his improper
aborted landing procedure, and
inadvertent stall/mush. Factors
in the accident were an
improper adjustment of the
landing gear warning horn
system by company
maintenance personnel, and the
failure of the pilot to utilize the
prelanding checklist.
The aircraft overshot the runway
near Reynosa, Mexico and
crashed into vehicles and

of the terrain surrounding the
airstrip, resulting in a controlled-
flight-into-terrain accident.
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. Contributing to
the accident were Bombardier's

inadequate flight planning

of direct, on-site operational
oversight by Transport Canada
and the Federal Aviation
Administration.
The twin engine Cessna
crashed into a densely wooded
area, 30 miles south of St.
Louis, 25 minutes after taking
off from Parks Airport. The
plane was flying in rain and fog
when the pilot reported he was
at 6,500 feet and having
problems with the artificial
horizon. Radar contact was
soon lost with the aircraft.
Witnesses reported hearing a
plane in a dive followed by an
explosion. Wreckage was
scattered over a wide area. Mel
Carnahan, 66, Governor of
Missouri was killed in the
accident along with a campaign
aide and his son, Roger, who
was piloting the plane.

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

aircraft swung around 180
degrees and entered a flat spin.
The captain ordered the engines
at full throttle but it was too late
and 22 seconds later the plane
hit the ground, belly first, broke
up and burned. Incorrect actions
of the crew. Due to poor
communication between pilots,
they put in the wrong
parameters while landing
causing the plane to descend at
the wrong angle. As a result, the
plane stalled and entered a spin

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 plane's landing gear had
failed to open during the
approach into Tunis-Carthage
airport and the pilot had made
another circuit before attempting
a fresh landing when the plane
crashed in heavy rain and high
winds. The accident was
attributed to the rough weather
conditions and the pilot's
inability to deal with the
situation.
The MD-82 crashed into the
Dalian Bay, 12 miles east of
Dalian airport. The pilot reported
a fire aboard the aircraft and the
cabin lights were out prior to the
plane impacting the water. The
accident was caused by an act
of sabotage by a passenger

contributing factors were the
emergence of electrical problem

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

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
resulted in an inadvertent stall,
and subsequent collision with
terrain. A contributing factor was
the pilot's impairment from the
effects of prescription painkilling

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
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.

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

incorrect rigging of the elevator
system, (5) the FAA's average
weight assumptions in its weight

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

to the ground.
The helicopter impacted a lava
field on the Pulama Pali in the
Volcanoes National Park,
Volcano, Hawaii. 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, compressor-
coupling 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.

3,500 ft., the right engine began
coming apart and throwing parts
out of the cowling. Although the
right engine was feathered,
flaps and gear retracted and full
power applied t the left engine,
the plane could not maintain
altitude and the pilot ditched the
aircraft 15 miles from its
destination. All passengers and
the pilot were able to exit from
the plane before it sank but 2
passengers subsequently died.
The in-flight failure of the right
engine and the pilot's failure to
adequately manage the
airplane's performance after the
engine failed. The right engine
failure resulted for inadequate
maintenance that was
performed by Air Sunshine's
maintenance personnel during

accident was the failure of
Sundance Helicopters and the
FAA to provide adequate
surveillance of Sundance's air
tour operations in Descent
