Location:

Phase: Go around
Nature: Training
Flight: Karachi -
Karachi
Flight number: -
Remarks: The PIA
Viscount took off from Karachi at 14.30 GMT for a training flight. The aircraft
returned to Karachi at 16.39h and took off again at 16.48h for further training.
At 17.07h the crew were cleared to land. The aircraft (probably carrying out an
ILS approach) was not properly lined up with the runway, so a go around was
carried out. On the second time, the Viscount was seen flying very low over the
runway with engines no.3 and 4 inoperative. During the overshoot, Viscount yawed
almost 90deg to starboard, causing the right wing to strike a blast pen wall.
The aircraft then crashed in flames.
Probable cause: "The
trainee Captain attempted a maneuver in disregard of the prescribed limitations
of such maneuver. A two-engine overshoot was attempted at a very low
height and below the prescribed minimum speed, when the aircraft was committed
to a landing. This resulted in violent yaw and sharp drop which could not be
controlled. The training Captain was conversant with the minimum requirements of
a two-engine overshoot of a Viscount 815 aircraft but appears to have
overestimated its performance".
