course

The DC-9 took off at 07:41 a.m. from Ljubljana Airport with destination Ajaccio on the French island of Corsica . At around 08:35 a.m., the copilot's son entered the cockpit and was allowed to sit down as an observer. The pilots were cleared to land on runway 21 and descend to 6,800 feet. Shortly before Ajaccio airport, the pilots flew a loop to lose altitude. However, the air traffic controller thought they would fly directly to the airport. At 8:53 a.m. the GPWS reported and the pilots initiated the go- around procedure , but too late. The left wing brushed the summit of Mont San-Pietro and the DC-9 collided with the mountain. All 180 inmates died. It is the second most serious aircraft accident in France after Turkish Airlines flight 981 and the most casualty crash of an aircraft of the series later known as the MD-80. The pilots had dropped below the safe altitude of 6,800 feet.
