Unresolved Fault
The pilots of an A320 tried a different way of solving a recurring flight control problem and were startled by the results.
Causal Factors
Spurious Autofeather
The loss of thrust on takeoff caught the ATR 72 pilots off guard and unprepared.
Risky Business
Piloting cited in fatal crash of World War II Ju 52 on Swiss Alps sightseeing flight.
Tragic Transition
A 737 captain may have been overwhelmed by stress and anxiety when he lost control of the aircraft while initiating a go-around.
Hole in the Fuselage
A passenger was partially ejected when debris from an uncontained engine failure blew out a cabin window.
Exception to the Rule
When the airplane would not rotate, rejecting the takeoff several seconds after reaching V1 was the right thing to do.
