—For the first part of the class project, you will research an aircraft accident or incident that occurred as a direct result of any one or a combination of aircraft systems in Modules 1-9.

Topic: Korean Air cargo flight 8509
Summary: On December 22, 1999, a Korean Air Cargo Boeing 747 crashed in the United Kingdom shortly after takeoff from London Stansted Airport, killing all four crew members. The incident intensified scrutiny on Korean Air, already facing issues from previous accidents. British investigators identified a chain of failures, including a faulty instrument and a misguided repair attempt, leading to the crash. The crew’s passive response and communication breakdown contributed to the tragedy. Beyond being a cargo plane crash, the incident highlighted Korean Air’s struggle with safety issues.
Rationale: I chose to focus on this accident because a crucial instrument called the altitude indicator, or ADI, wasn’t working properly, and this played a significant role in the catastrophic outcome. It really emphasizes how vital it is for us pilots to have a good handle on our instruments, especially when flying in low-light conditions where we can’t rely on visual cues for the horizon. Essentially, understanding and trusting our instruments becomes paramount for safe navigation, and incidents like these highlight the importance of that awareness.
- References
- Teacher notes regarding my selected topic: Andres, a very good event to review. Yes, it’s not enough for a pilot to just reference instruments, a good pilot should understand what they represent and be able to cross-check in flight to ensure they are reading correctly. This is a large part of instrument training today. I suggest after you write a review of the event, review the instrument and how it functions as well as how it is used, and then address what it represents and how the pilot may have cross-referenced other instruments to verify and mitigate the accident. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
