DC-10 crash

During the late 1980s two air tragedies resulted from very similar common cause failures. In both cases (a Japan Air Lines Boeing 747 and a United Airlines DC-10), hydraulic control was lost when the redundant hydraulic systems (seven in the 747 and three in the DC-10) were disabled by loss of hydraulic fluid when the hydraulic lines in the rudder of the aircraft were severed. Only one hydraulic system in either aircraft would have been sufficient to maintain control of the aircraft. The only location on either aircraft where all the hydraulic lines were in close proximity was in the rudder. Even though the trigger event was different for each aircraft (aft pressure bulkhead failure and sudden depressurization in the 747 and an engine explosion in the DC-10), both aircraft crashed due to common cause failure of redundant hydraulic control systems. [Pg.262]

The crew attempted to fly the aircraft in accordance with procedures they had practised many times in the DC-10 simulator. Unfortunately, these procedures called for a speed that was too slow, and the aircraft stalled and crashed. Finding 10 from the NTSB final report of their investigation into the Chicago accident is given below ... [Pg.24]

In 1974, Turkish Airlines Flight 981 (aircraft type McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10) crashed due to cargo hatch failure and control cable failures, causing 346 fatalities [24]. [Pg.3]

Turkish Airlines Flight 981 Accident. This accident occurred on March 3, 1974, and is associated with the Turkish Airlines Flight 981 (aircraft type McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10), a scheduled flight from Istanbul, Turkey, to Heathrow Airport, London, U.K., via Paris, France [6]. The flight crashed due to cargo hatch failure and control cable failures and caused 346 fatalities. [Pg.74]

United Airlines Flight 859 Accident. This accident occurred on July 11, 1961, and is associated with the United Airlines Flight 859 (aircraft type Douglas DC-8-20), a scheduled flight from Omaha, Nebraska, to Stapleton International Airport, Denver, Colorado [10]. The flight crashed during landing at the Stapleton International Airport because the aircraft suffered a hydraulic failure while en route and caused 18 fatalities and 84 injuries. [Pg.75]
