Incidents

• On April 28, 1968, a Douglas DC-8-31 had an accident at Atlantic City Airport . The four crew members who completed a training flight survived the incident. The aircraft was written off as a total loss.
• On July 26, 1969, the crew of a Boeing 707-331C operated by Trans World Airlines simulated an engine failure on a training flight by switching engine number 4 to idle. When a missed approach was to be initiated when the decision altitude was reached, neither the landing flaps nor the landing gear could be retracted. The crew switched off the hydraulic systems without reactivating engine no. 4. She lost control of the machine, which rolled to the right and began to descend. The plane hit the ground and went up in flames, the five-man crew was killed (see also Trans-World Airlines flight 5787 ) .
