Rotor blade loosened after fatigue to the knuckle joint: crashed into the sea [10] 1979-05-25 American Airlines Flight 191: Chicago, United States MD DC-10: Improper maintenance 271 + 2 on ground No.1 engine broke off due to faulty maintenance procedure; slats retracted, leading the plane to stall and crash 1981-06-02 NLM CityHopper Flight 431
The same type of pilot errors and violations of standard operating procedure had been found in other accidents in which fatigue was not a factor. [ 3 ] : 171–173 To state that fatigue was a contributing factor, and thus part of the probable cause, would be inconsistent with the above finding and would, therefore, disrupt this flow of logic.
Aloha Airlines Flight 243 (IATA: AQ243, ICAO: AAH243) was a scheduled Aloha Airlines flight between Hilo and Honolulu in Hawaii. On April 28, 1988, a Boeing 737-297 serving the flight suffered extensive damage after an explosive decompression in flight, caused by part of the fuselage breaking due to poor maintenance and metal fatigue.
A Delta plane crash-landed and flipped upside-down in Toronto on Monday. Airline pilots say strong crosswinds or runway debris could have caused a landing gear failure. All 80 passengers and crew ...
A commuter plane crashed off the coast of Alaska, killing all 10 people on board. With different aircraft involved in recent aviation accidents, Boyd discussed whether commercial and general ...
The probable cause of the accident was determined to be the failure of the propeller due to undiscovered metal fatigue in one blade resulting from corrosion from chlorine. [1]: v Two previous failures of the same type of propeller had occurred, but those aircraft had been able to land safely.
Implementation of fatigue prediction models, such as the Sleep, Activity, Fatigue, and Task Effectiveness model, optimize scheduling by being able to predict pilot fatigue at any point in time. Although the mathematical model is limited by individual pilot differences it is the most accurate existing prediction because it takes into account ...
The final investigation report found that the accident was the result of fatigue cracking caused by inadequate maintenance after a much earlier tailstrike incident. On 7 February 1980, the aircraft was flying from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Taoyuan International Airport via King Abdulaziz International Airport and Kai Tak International ...
