Remarks: Both
engines lost power immediately following power increase during a stall recovery.
The F-27 was engaged in a series of stall tests.
Probable
cause: "Overheating of both engines,
resulting in their simultaneous failure. This was caused by malfunction of the
contact switches of no.1 engine propeller automatic safety pitch lock withdrawal
system and pilot's failure to withdraw the locks manually by placing the HP fuel
cock levers into the 'lockout' position"

Location: Jeddah;125km

Phase: Climb
Nature: Scheduled
passenger
Flight: Jeddah
- Karachi
Flight
number: PK-740
Remarks: Flight
PK-740 departed Jeddah at 01.29h for a flight to Karachi. The aircraft was
climbing to FL370 when, at 01.47h, a stewardess reported a fire near the aft
cabin passenger door. The crew started a descent from FL300 and were cleared to
descend to 4000ft. Following a mayday call at 02.03h nothing more was heard from
the flight. The aircraft crashed in a level rocky area at an elevation of 3000ft
and burst into flames.
Probable
cause: "An in-flight fire in the
cabin area which, through its intensity and rapid extension, resulted in panic
among the passengers and smoke in the cockpit, eventually incapacitating the
flight crew. The cause of the cabin fire was not determined". It was
considered that the origin of the cabin fire could have been a leaking gasoline
or kerosene stove, carried aboard by Hajj pilgrim passengers. Pressure
differential could have caused a poorly sealed gasket to leak fuel. A second
possibility is an electrical fire, but the rapid extension of the fire was
considered difficult to explain because of the electrical circuit protection
devices of the Boeing 707.Sabotage was considered as another possibility, but no
evidence of use of an incendiary device was found.

Flight: Lahore

Flight number:
Remarks: The
aircraft undershot Runway 35 during a nighttime approach, impacted the edge of a
ditch, broke up and eventually came to rest inverted. The co-pilot, who was
under route check, let the aircraft descend below MDA of 400ft in an attempt to
locate the runway visually. The pilot was
distracted from monitoring the height because he was attempting to talk to the
co-pilot into correcting the approach. The aircraft had logged 39732 hours and
45472 cycles.
