The list of aircraft accidents and incidents caused by structural failures summarizes notable accidents and incidents such as the 1933 United Airlines Chesterton Crash due to a bombing and a 1964 B-52 test that landed after the vertical stabilizer broke off. Loss of structural integrity during flight can be caused by:
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 ...
United Airlines Flight 328 N772UA, the aircraft involved in 2012 Incident Date February 20, 2021 13:08 MST (2021-02-20UTC20:08Z) Summary Engine failure caused by metal fatigue Site Over Broomfield, Colorado, U.S. 39°55′44″N 105°03′18″W / 39.929°N 105.055°W / 39.929; -105.055 Aircraft Aircraft type Boeing 777-222 [a] Operator United Airlines IATA flight No. UA328 ICAO ...
The cause of the crash was determined to be loss of control during go around due to lack of coordination between the pilots in a case of engine torque asymmetry, pilot fatigue and poor overisght by the operator. 6 fatalities.
In aeronautics, loss of control (LOC) is the unintended departure of an aircraft from controlled flight and is a significant factor in several aviation accidents worldwide. In 2015 [ 1 ] it was the leading cause of general aviation accidents. [ 2 ]
The aircraft experienced complete loss of electrical power shortly after takeoff and eventually crashed into terrain while trying to navigate in the dark without instrumentation; the captain was blamed for attempting to continue to the flight's destination rather than executing an emergency landing at the departure airport.
An Aeroflot Tu-154 (СССР-85030) force-landed in a forest during a training flight on takeoff from Vnukovo Airport; the aircraft had taken off with the spoilers deployed, causing severe vibrations and a loss of power in engines one and three; all four crew survived. [4] 10 July 1974
American Airlines Flight 191 was a regularly scheduled domestic passenger flight from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago to Los Angeles International Airport.On the afternoon of May 25, 1979, the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 operating this flight was taking off from runway 32R at O'Hare International when its left engine detached from the wing, causing a loss of control, and the aircraft ...
