On October 25, 1988, a Fokker F28-1000 Fellowship crashed on Aeroperú flight 772 (flight number: PL772 ) shortly after taking off from Juliaca airport . 12 people were killed in the accident.
Airplane and occupants
The Fokker F28-1000 with the factory number 11059 was registered for its maiden flight on December 8, 1972, initially with the Dutch aircraft registration PH-ZBO on Fokker . On March 15, 1973 the machine was delivered to the Servicio Aereo de Transportes Comerciales (SATCO), a subsidiary of the Peruvian Air Force , where it received the Peruvian aircraft registration OB-R-397 . When the Peruvian government founded the new state airline Aeroperú a few weeks later , the machine was transferred to their fleet and received the new registration number OB-R-1020. The machine had completed 35,404 flight hours with 44,078 take-offs and landings since it was first put into operation. The twin- engine, short - haul narrow-body aircraft was equipped with two Rolls-Royce Spey 555-15 turbojet engines.
The Aeroperú flight 772 had 65 passengers and 4 crew members traveled with it.
the accident
The Aeroperú flight 772 was a scheduled flight from Juliaca , a city in southern Peru near Lake Titicaca and the border with Bolivia, to Arequipa in the southwest . The machine made its take-off run from runway 29 in a north-westerly direction, but hardly gained any altitude after rotating . When both the landing gear and the buoyancy aids were then retracted and the thrust was reduced at the same time, the machine stayed a few meters above the ground in the air. About 1.8 kilometers behind the runway, the machine crashed onto federal highway 124, which was raised at this point by 0.8 meters and surrounded on both sides by trenches 0.7 meters deep. After the impact, the Fokker slid another 220 meters above the ground until it came to a halt in a river bed 2.3 meters below the road.
The fuselage of the machine broke into several parts in the accident. The forward fuselage section was separated from the middle section near the wing tips, overturned and came to a stop upside down about 50 meters from the middle section. The underside of the fuselage of the front section was severely deformed, with the degree of deformation increasing from the aircraft nose to the point of fracture. Despite this fact, the survival space inside the airframe was not restricted in this area. Most of the seats were still firmly anchored in the cabin floor, only in some areas towards the end of the fuselage fragment there were occasional cracks in the seat structure.
The middle fuselage section was badly damaged. The left wing was torn off, the right was still attached to the fuselage. The outer shell was largely torn off. A large number of torn seats and parts of the interior were found lying in the open next to the torn left wing. It was assumed that these assemblies had been ejected from the central hull section during the last impact in the river bed. This was also the area where most of the dead had occurred.
The structure of the rear part of the fuselage, which was torn off from the middle, had almost completely failed. The two engines were next to the fuselage, but both were torn off. The tail unit was extremely badly damaged.
The occupants of the front part of the torso, which had come to a standstill upside down, left the machine either on their own or with outside help through the rear opening. In the middle and rear part of the fuselage, all occupants were probably thrown out by the impact forces.
The accident killed 12 people, including 11 passengers and one crew member.
Trivia
The machine with the serial number 11059 comes from a group of Fokker F28s built in 1972 with consecutive serial numbers, all of which were involved in fatal incidents:
- Number 11057 had an accident on January 26, 1974 on Turkish Airlines flight 301
- Number 11058 had an accident on January 30, 1975 on Turkish Airlines Flight 345
- Number 11060 had an accident on Air Ontario Flight 1363 on March 10, 1988
