Loss of oil on climb on both engines, Boeing 737-400, G-OBMM
Micro-summary: This Boeing 737-400 lost nearly all the oil in both engines on climb. Event Date: 1995-02-25 at 1205 UTC Investigative Body: Aircraft Accident Investigation Board (AAIB), United Kingdom Investigative Body's Web Site: http://www.aaib.dft.gov/uk/ Note: Reprinted by kind permission of the AAIB.
Cautions: 1. Accident reports can be and sometimes are revised. Be sure to consult the investigative agency for the latest version before basing anything significant on content (e.g., thesis, research, etc). 2. Readers are advised that each report is a glimpse of events at specific points in time. While broad themes permeate the causal events leading up to crashes, and we can learn from those, the specific regulatory and technological environments can and do change. Your company's flight operations manual is the final authority as to the safe operation of your aircraft! 3. Reports may or may not represent reality. Many many non-scientific factors go into an investigation, including the magnitude of the event, the experience of the investigator, the political climate, relationship with the regulatory authority, technological and recovery capabilities, etc. It is recommended that the reader review all reports analytically. Even a "bad" report can be a very useful launching point for learning. 4. Contact us before reproducing or redistributing a report from this anthology. Individual countries have very differing views on copyright! We can advise you on the steps to follow.

Minutes later, our High School Teacher informed us that two planes just collided over downtown San Diego.

    On July 19, 1989, a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 operated by United Airlines experienced a catastrophic failure of the number 2 tail-mounted engine during cruise flight. The catastrophic failure led to engine debris severing all three flight control hydraulic lines resulting in total hydraulic loss. The pilots were subsequently unable to control the airplane, except by manipulation of the throttles to vary engine thrust, resulting in a crash landing. The NTSB determined that the probable cause of the accident was the inadequate consideration given to human factors limitations in the inspection and quality control procedures used by United Airlines’ engine overhaul facility which resulted in the failure to detect…

    The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) plays a central role in the overall equation of aviation safety. The agency enjoys the reputation of being the foremost independent safety investigative authority in the world. The caliber of the agency's investigations and reports has become the international standard. The NTSB is considered to be the best in the business and has served as a model for independent investigative authorities in many countries. And although the NTSB investigates thousands of marine, rail, highway, pipeline and general aviation accidents each year, the public reputation and credibility of the Board substantially rests on its ability to determine the cause of major commercial aviation accidents (Lebow, et al. 18).…

    The Tenerife airport terminal debacle was a lethal runway crash between two Boeing 747s on Sunday, Walk 27, 1977 at Los Rodeos Airplane terminal (now Tenerife North Airplane terminal) on the Spanish island of Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands. The accident murdered 583 individuals, making it the deadliest mishap in flying history.

    En 2009, probablement en raison d’une erreur présumée dans le fonctionnement des sondes Pitot fournies par la société Thalès, l’Airbus 453 Rio-Paris disparaît mystérieusement dans l’Atlantique. Le syndicat des pilotes demande à son personnel de ne plus naviguer sur les Airbus dont au moins deux Pitots n’ont pas été modifiées. A la suite de plusieurs incidents les mois précédents, la société Thalès avait déjà mis en garde les utilisateurs. L’Airbus selon le syndicat devient instable lorsque les sondes cessent de fonctionner. Ce bug, toléré par Air France avant l’accident, aura coûté la vie à deux cent vingt huit personnes. Il avait déjà été reporté à plusieurs reprises bien avant 2008. Notamment dès 1998, les responsables de Lufthansa avaient rapporté un incident semblable lors du survol du Mont Cameroun, lorsque les températures chutent parfois au dessous de -70°. Prévues pour des températures de -50° les sondes Pitot, selon divers professionnels dont le syndicat des pilotes, ne respectaient pas les spécifications du cahier des charges. Il s’agit ici de négligence, d’avidité, de déni et de persistance dans le déni. Les conséquences vont au-delà et à contre-courant du but poursuivi, puisque à terme, c’est le marché des Airbus qui est remis en cause.…
