Seating chart for American Airlines Flight 1420 created by the NTSB, revealing the location of passengers and lack of injury, severity of injuries, and deaths. The aircraft involved in the incident was a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 (registration N215AA [2]), a derivative of the McDonnell Douglas DC-9, and part of the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series of aircraft.
An Airbus A320 overran the runway while landing in rain, and crashed into a warehouse. All 187 people on board, and 12 people on the ground, were killed. Sriwijaya Air Flight 62: 2008 Sultan Thaha Airport, Jambi, Indonesia The Boeing 737-200 overran the runway due to a hydraulics malfunction and crashed into a house. There were no fatalities ...
Jeju Air initially said that the crashed aircraft was not involved in any prior incident, but data from the Korea Airports Corporation showed that in February 2021, the aircraft was damaged when its tail struck the runway during takeoff from Gimpo International Airport in Seoul, for which Jeju Air was fined 2.2 billion won ($1.5 million) by the ...
Realizing the aircraft could not stop before the end of the runway, the captain deliberately tried to swing the aircraft to the left so the right wing would take the initial brunt of impact. Using left rudder and adding power to the Nos. 3 and 4 (right-side) engines, the aircraft pivoted 35 degrees to the left but continued to slide down the ...
The aircraft was estimated to be traveling at 15 to 20 knots (28 to 37 km/h; 17 to 23 mph) at the time of the overrun. Had optimum braking taken place, the aircraft would probably have come to a stop on the runway. The massive damage was not caused by the overrun as such, but rather the steep slopes on the side of the runway. [32]
Flight 1455 departed McCarran International Airport (LAS), Las Vegas, Nevada, at 1650, more than 2 hours behind schedule due to inclement weather in the area.At 18:04:02, when the aircraft was 19 nautical miles (22 mi; 35 km) north of the BUR outer marker, the SoCal approach controller instructed the aircraft to maintain 230 knots (260 mph; 430 km/h) or greater until further notice.
[citation needed] The NTSB determined that the probable cause was the pilots' failure to use available reverse thrust promptly to safely decelerate or stop after landing, which resulted in a runway overrun. This failure occurred because the pilots' first experience and lack of familiarity with the airplane's autobrake system distracted them ...
[5] [12] [13] Initial causes of the investigation focused on a possible failure of the thrust reverser and the pilot's request to change runways. [14] The right hand thrust reverser was inoperative at the time of takeoff, as allowed per the master minimum equipment list, which made the thrust reversers unavailable after the aircraft landed. [1]
