Safety history

February 17, 1990AccidentHull loss
The approach to Mahón Airport was completed by night and poor weather conditions. On final, the crew lost visual contact with the runway and the captain instructed the pilot to initiate a go-around. In a certain confusion, the aircraft continued its approach until it struck the runway surface with a positive acceleration of 3,56 G.
Douglas DC-9
It was determined that the copilot (pilot-in-command) did not understand the captain's instructions to initiate a go-around procedure due to non standard phraseology used by the captain. Poor crew coordination and lack of visibility were considered as contributing factors. Full accident record
