Flight details and approach phase On 16 September 2007, One Two Go Airlines Flight 269 departed Don Mueang International Airport for Phuket International Airport. The McDonnell-Douglas MD-82, registered HS-OMG, carried 123 passengers and 7 crew members. The flight was en route at Flight Level 320 when it began its approach to Phuket. ## Weather and air traffic control communications During the approach, Orient Thai Airlines Flight 2071 reported cumulonimbus clouds over the airport and windshear, resulting in airspeed fluctuations. Air traffic control relayed this information to Flight 269, which acknowledged it and extended its landing gear. Surface winds were reported to increase from 15 knots to 40 knots from 240 degrees as the aircraft descended. ## Go-around and crash At 500 feet, the pilot-in-command noted the aircraft was below the ILS glide path and ordered increased engine power. At 40 feet, the enhanced ground proximity warning system activated. The co-pilot called for a go-around, and the pilot-in-command agreed. During the maneuver, the aircraft veered off and struck an embankment north of Runway 27, breaking up in flames. 40 people were rescued, while 90 others, including five crew members, were killed.

Probable cause

The accident was caused by the flight crew's failure to follow standard operating procedures for a stabilized approach and go-around, failure to press the takeoff/go-around switch, insufficient crew coordination, sudden weather changes, crew fatigue, and transfer of aircraft control at a critical moment.
