A case of “get there itis” August 23 2005: TANS Perú Flight 204, a B-737, crashes in Pucallpa (Peru), 40 of 98 aboard die. On approach, the jet impacted swamplands in a CFIT, 3.8 mi from the runway. Report pointed to pilot actions, namely the decision to proceed with the landing attempt in poor weather, stating it was safer to divert. Inquiry noted that the crew failed to follow SOP in adverse weather. The captain assumed control of the aircraft, but the trainee pilot did not immediately monitor the instruments, leaving the crew unaware of the rapid descent during the critical seconds when the accident might have been avoided. Investigation of the crash site was hampered by looters, who removed various items from the wreck as scrap. A US$500 reward was offered and successfully led to the return of the flight data recorder. According to Aviation Safety Network, it was among the deadliest accidents of 2005 and the second major crash involving a TANS Perú aircraft in just over two years. Video – Mayday ACI “Blind Landing”

The Asiana crash in San Francisco was 13 years ago July 6 2013: Asiana Airlines Flight 214, a B-777, crashes in San Francisco (US), 3 of 307 aboard die. On landing, Jet approached too low and slow: its tail struck a seawall and was ripped off, and the aircraft cartwheeled on the runway. Investigation pointed pilot actions, with factors such as training, breach of SOP, inadequate supervision of trainee pilots, and fatigue, among others.

Korean 747 crash in Guam was 29 years ago August 6 1997: Korean Air Flight 801, a B-747, crashes in Guam (US) 228 of 254 aboard die. On approach in bad weather, the jet hit a ridge. Inquiry noted crew actions by failing to execute, brief, and check the non-precision approach. Factors: lack of CRM, fatigue, training, FAA monitoring. This accident, along with the Flight 8509 accident in Essex (England) and other mishaps, were also reflecting poor work culture in Korean Air Lines, which led to structural reforms in the airline´s organization, improving its safety record. 🎥 Mayday ACI episode "Blind Landing"

July 4 2001: Vladivostok Air Flight 352, a Tu-154, crashes in Irktutsk (Russia). All 145 aboard die: 3rd worst crash in Russia. On approach, the jet went into a high angle of attack, and the pilots' correction attempts developed into an irrecoverable flat spin. Report pointed “erroneous actions of the crew" and was very critical of their actions. During the approach, the crew made incorrect control inputs on the yoke, leading to a loss of airspeed. Subsequent errors resulted in excessive back pressure on the controls, causing the aircraft to enter a corkscrew. The crew attempted to recover, but the low altitude prevented a successful recovery. 🎥 Air crash daily

One of the (many) significant air crashes of this date... May 25 2002: China Airlines Flight 611, a B-747, disintegrates in mid-air off Penghu Islands (Taiwan Strait). All 225 aboard die: deadliest crash in Taiwanese history. Investigation determined that the in-flight breakup was caused by metal fatigue cracks that originated from a tail strike at Kai Tak Airport on February 7, 1980. The aircraft was not repaired in accordance with Boeing policies and maintenance manuals. Over its 22-year service life, repeated pressurization cycles allowed these tiny cracks to propagate, resulting in the structural failure. This accident had some similarities to the crash of Japan Airlines Flight 123 in 1985 - still remains the worst single plane disaster in history - which is detailed on the tweet below - 🎥 Plane N´ Boom

Toronto Miracle was 21 years ago August 2 2005 - Air France Flight 358, an A340, crashes in Toronto (Canada). All 309 aboard survived. Due to the crew's actions landing in bad weather, the plane skidded off the runway and caught fire. A highly effective cabin evacuation was vital to the outcome. Due to severe weather, over 500 flights at Toronto Pearson were cancelled due to poor weather, but the crew persisted in attempting the landing. Canada´s Transport Minister called the event a “miracle”. Inquiry noted crew action: use of the shortest runway; the plane touched down nearly halfway through the runway, and the thrust reversers were not on full power until 17 seconds after touchdown.

OTD in 2010: Air India Express Flight 812, a Boeing 737, crashes in Mangalore (India), 158 of 166 aboard die. On landing, the aircraft overran runway, fell down in a gorge and caught fire. Inquiry noted Captain actions in the unstabilized approach maneuver, despite multiple F/O and EGPWS warnings (More info below)⬇️ 🎥 Air Crash Animation (Youtube - go follow them there) From the accident enquiry (via ASN) "Direct Causes: The Court of Inquiry determines that the cause of this accident was Captain's failure to discontinue the 'unstabilised approach' and his persistence in continuing with the landing, despite three calls from the First Officer to 'go around' and a number of warnings from EGPWS. Contributing Factors to the Accident: 1. In spite of the availability of an adequate rest period prior to the flight, the Captain was in prolonged sleep during the flight, which could have led to sleep inertia. As a result of a relatively short period of time between his awakening and the approach, it possibly led to impaired judgment. This aspect might have got accentuated while flying in the Window of Circadian Low (WOCL). 2. In the absence of Mangalore Area Control Radar (MSSR), due to unserviceability, the aircraft was given descent at a shorter distance on DME as compared to the normal. However, the flight crew did not plan the descent profile properly, resulting in remaining high on approach. 3. Probably in view of ambiguity in various instructions empowering the 'copilot' to initiate a 'go around ', the First Officer gave repeated calls to this effect, but did not take over the controls to actually discontinue the ill-fated approach.

May 18 2011: Sol Líneas Aéreas Flight 5428, a Saab 340, crashes off Río Negro, (Argentina) all 22 aboard die. Enroute, aircraft went out of control, which was later traced to severe airframe icing in bad weather. Report also pointed crew actions when dealing with the emergency. In more detail, it was determined that the icing conditions encountered were so severe that the aircraft's de-icing systems were overwhelmed. However, it was also noted that engine power and airspeed management by the crew was inadequate. In particular, the engines were never set to full power, and the airspeed was allowed to decay until the aircraft stalled. It was also determined that the weather reports that the crew received called for minor icing, and thus, they were not prepared for the conditions that they actually encountered. The investigators described the crew's stall recovery technique as “inappropriate” and issued several safety recommendations to aviation authorities and organizations, calling for more pilot training in aircraft upset recovery, incipient stall recognition, and stall recovery. 🎥 Plane N´Boom

Not one of those "records" you want to see beaten so fast... On May 29 a United DC-4 crashed on take-off from La Guardia, killing 43. This was, up to that point, the deadliest aircraft in US history. The record was beaten less than 24 hours by this very same accident... On This day in 1947: Eastern Air Lines Flight 605, a DC-4, crashes in Maryland (US). All 53 aboard die. After take-off the airplane went out of control at 4000 ft and dived to the ground. Based on available evidence, the inquiry couldn´t determine the cause of the accident*. *Do note this was relatively common back in the day: CVR and FDR weren´t invented yet, and aviation investigation itself was in its infancy. It has been suggested it was likely a control failure, but there was simply no way to prove it. 🎥 British Pathé

Another ill-fated take-off over V1 (in this case, V2!) June 13 1996: Garuda Indonesia Flight 865, a DC-10, crashes in Fukuoka (Japan) 3 of 275 aboard die. On take-off, the jet had just left the ground when one of the engines failed. Crew opted to reject the maneuver; the aircraft was unable to stop safely and left the runway: landing gear collapsed, and the airplane caught fire. Inquiry noted pilot actions by aborting takeoff above V1, where SOP dictated pilots should have continued takeoff and deal with the engine later. More info below from Aviation Safety Network – Aftermath video is from Aircrashdaily (go give them a follow on YouTube) “The DC-10 accelerated for takeoff. The nose was raised, and at a speed of 158 kts, the first officer called "Rotate". It was 12:07:40. Three seconds later, at a radio altitude of 9 feet, a fan blade of the 1st stage HP turbine from the no. 3 engine separated. The N1 dropped to 23,7% within a few seconds. At 12:07:45, the flight engineer called "Engine failure number one." Takeoff was aborted at about the V2 speed, and the airplane contacted the runway one second later at a vertical acceleration force of 2.1 Gs. The thrust reversers were deployed and ground spoilers were extended. The DC-10 skidded off the runway through a ditch, fence and a road, before coming to a halt 620 m past the runway threshold. Investigation revealed that the turbine blade that failed, had operated for 30913 hours and 6182 cycles. General Electric had advised customers to discard blades after about 6000 cycles. Accident cause Although the Aircraft was well in excess of V1 and the aircraft had already lifted off from the runway, the takeoff was aborted. Consequently, the aircraft departed the end of the runway, came to rest and caught fire. It is estimated that contributing to the rejection of the takeoff under this circumstance was the fact that the CAP's judgement in the event of the engine failure was inadequate."

Cerritos mid-air collision was 40 years ago: 82 died in a crash that led to landmark changes in the USA´s ATC systems August 31 1986: On approach to LAX airport, Aeroméxico Flight 498 (a DC-9) collides with a private Piper PA-28. The Piper struck the DC-9 through the tail section, killing all aboard instantly. With its tail torn off, the irrecoverably out-of-control airliner rolled and plunged into a Cerritos neighborhood. It exploded on impact, killing everyone aboard, along with 15 on the ground. The PA-28 then spun harmlessly into an empty playground. The inquiry determined the Piper entered Los Angeles’ Terminal Control Area without clearance. The aircraft lacked a Mode C transponder, LAX had no automatic warning system for such a breach, and neither crew appears to have seen the other in time; No fault was found with the DC-9 or the actions of its crew. The accident prompted the FAA to require TCAS - Traffic Collision Avoidance System - on large commercial jets and Mode C transponders on light aircraft operating in busy airspace such as LAX. A jury later assigned equal negligence to the Cessna pilot and the FAA, the organization in charge of ATC in the USA. Mayday ACI – “Out of Sight”

The first accident covered by Mayday - Air Crash Investigation On this day in 1999: American Airlines Flight 1420, an MD-82, crashes in Little Rock (Arkansas, US), 11 of 145 aboard die. On landing, the jet overran the runway and hit airport structures. Factors: crew actions – continuing approach in bad weather, improper use of spoilers, etc- fatigue, poor CRM, others (as detailed below) From the NTSB report - (...) "The probable causes of this accident were the flight crew's failure to discontinue the approach when severe thunderstorms and their associated hazards to flight operations had moved into the airport area, and the crew's failure to ensure that the spoilers had extended after touchdown. Contributing to the accident were the flight crew's (1) impaired performance resulting from fatigue, and the situational stress associated with the intent to land under the circumstances; (2) continuation of the approach to a landing when the company's maximum crosswind component was exceeded; and (3) use of reverse thrust greater than 1.3 engine pressure ratio after landing." The events of Flight 1420 were featured in the first ever episode of the famous Mayday - Air Crash Investigation series, entitled "Racing the Storm", which debuted in 2003*. (Some folks might ask why the show´s crash animation isn´t here, but simply because this one, produced by the NTSB, is clearer to explain what happened)

A preventable tragedy On This Day in 1967: Stockport air disaster (England). A British Midland C-4 [G-ALHG] crashes in Stockport, 72 of 84 aboard die. On a go-around, crew lost control after 2 engines failed. Investigation traced the issues to a known - but never addressed - design issue in the fuel system. More details here by ASN (video is from British Pathé) PROBABLE CAUSE: "The immediate cause of the accident was loss of power of both engines on the starboard side, resulting in control problems which prevented the pilot from maintaining height on the available power with one propeller windmilling. The loss of power of the first engine was due to fuel starvation due to inadvertent fuel transfer in flight. The loss of power of the second engine was due either to fuel starvation resulting from inadvertent fuel transfer in flight or to misidentification by the crew of which engine had failed followed by failure to restore power in time to the engine misidentified as having failed. Contributory causes of the accident were: (a) The design of the fuel valves and location in the cockpit of their actuating levers, so that a failure by the pilot correctly to position the lever by an amount so small as to be easy to do and difficult to recognize would result in inadvertent fuel transfer on a scale sufficient to involve the risk after a long flight of a tank expected to contain sufficient fuel being in fact empty. (b) Failure of those responsible for the design of the fuel system or the fuel valves to warn users that failure by a small amount to place the actuating levers in the proper position would result in inadvertent fuel transfer on a scale involving this risk after a long flight. (c) Failure of British Midland's air crew or engineers to recognize the possibility of inadvertent fuel transfer in the air from the evidence available in previous incidents in flight and contained in the fuel logs. (d) Failure of other operators of Argonauts who had learned by experience of the possibility of inadvertent fuel transfer in flight to inform the Air Registration Board, the Directorate of Flight Safety of the Board of Trade or its predecessors, or the United Kingdom Flight Safety Committee of the facts which they had learned so that these might be communicated to other operators of Argonauts and other aircraft equipped with similar systems and fuel cocks."

On a go-around, crew lost control after 2 engines failed. Investigation traced the issues to a known - but never addressed - design issue in the fuel system. More details here by ASN (video is from British Pathé) PROBABLE CAUSE: "The immediate cause of the accident was loss of power of both engines on the starboard side, resulting in control problems which prevented the pilot from maintaining height on the available power with one propeller windmilling. The loss of power of the first engine was due to fuel starvation due to inadvertent fuel transfer in flight. The loss of power of the second engine was due either to fuel starvation resulting from inadvertent fuel transfer in flight or to misidentification by the crew of which engine had failed followed by failure to restore power in time to the engine misidentified as having failed. Contributory causes of the accident were: (a) The design of the fuel valves and location in the cockpit of their actuating levers, so that a failure by the pilot correctly to position the lever by an amount so small as to be easy to do and difficult to recognize would result in inadvertent fuel transfer on a scale sufficient to involve the risk after a long flight of a tank expected to contain sufficient fuel being in fact empty. (b) Failure of those responsible for the design of the fuel system or the fuel valves to warn users that failure by a small amount to place the actuating levers in the proper position would result in inadvertent fuel transfer on a scale involving this risk after a long flight. (c) Failure of British Midland's air crew or engineers to recognize the possibility of inadvertent fuel transfer in the air from the evidence available in previous incidents in flight and contained in the fuel logs. (d) Failure of other operators of Argonauts who had learned by experience of the possibility of inadvertent fuel transfer in flight to inform the Air Registration Board, the Directorate of Flight Safety of the Board of Trade or its predecessors, or the United Kingdom Flight Safety Committee of the facts which they had learned so that these might be communicated to other operators of Argonauts and other aircraft equipped with similar systems and fuel cocks."

One person is dead and four others are injured after a Learjet 35A veers off the runway after landing at Scottsdale Airport and crashes into another aircraft, according to the Federal Aviation Authority. "According to initial reports, the Learjet’s left main landing gear failed upon landing, leading to the collision," the City of Scottsdale said in a statement, which also confirmed that the flight was inbound from Austin, Texas. Two individuals were in critical condition, and they were sent to local trauma centers, he said. Another person was sent to a local hospital, and a fourth refused treatment at the scene. The Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil was identified as the owner of the Learjet. In a statement posted to X on Monday, representatives for Neil confirmed that he was not aboard the jet at the time of the incident.

Deadliest aviation crash in Russia was 41 years ago July 10 1985: Aeroflot Flight 5143, a Tu-154, crashes in Uchkuduk (Uzbekistan) all 200 aboard die. Jet stalled at high altitude due to incorrect configuration for climbout. The crew misdiagnosed the stall as an engine issue, throttling back and leading to an irrecoverable flat spin. Video is from a documentary by the excellent YouTube channel “Paper Skies”, a very informative feature that details how fatigue likely played a role in the crew´s actions and other issues related to the aircraft´s performance. More OTD occurrences below 1/5 ⬇️🧵

“Probable Cause: The pilot's operation of the airplane while intoxicated, which resulted in a loss of airplane control on landing” (and at the wrong airport) July 18 2019: a private Citation II crashes in Nevada (US), no casualties. Jet left the runway on landing at Mesquite, lost its undercarriage, and was destroyed in a fire. The aircraft was on a ferry flight, and it was not intended to land at Mesquite: the pilot was later arrested on suspicion of flying while drunk (later confirmed) (Below is an exact quote of the accident report: I can imagine that when this came out, the pilot was busy printing CVs) “After authorities arrived on site, the pilot was arrested for operating an aircraft under the influence of alcohol. The pilot was found to have a blood alcohol level of .288, which exceeded the FAA's allowable limit of .040. This likely contributed to the pilot landing at the incorrect airport and his subsequent loss of airplane control during landing” More info here, from the NTSB report "The flight departed Pasco-Tri-Cities Airport, Washington, at about 16:25 on a ferry flight to Las Vegas-Henderson Sky Harbor Airport, Nevada. While approaching Class B airspace, air traffic control noted the pilot’s slurred speech and repeatedly asked if the oxygen system was working. About 85 miles from the destination, the pilot reported having a nearby airport in sight and requested a visual approach several times, despite being instructed to continue southwest. The airplane soon dropped off radar, landed at the unintended airport instead, and touched down hard about halfway down the runway before sliding to a stop on the left side, with the fuselage and wings largely destroyed by post-impact fire".
