plane
The aircraft used on the flight was a Boeing 707-372C. It was the 728th Boeing 707 ever built with the factory number 20077. The machine was delivered to its first owner Airlift International on July 11, 1968 and went to Aerolíneas Argentinas on March 1, 1971 . The airline has since leased the aircraft alternately to Líneas Aéreas Del Estado and the Argentine Air Force. The aircraft had the aircraft registration LV-LGP . The four-engine long-range - narrow-body aircraft was equipped with four engines of the type Pratt & Whitney Jt3d-3B equipped.
Flight history
The machine carried out a cargo flight from Santiago de Chile to Buenos Aires . The cargo consisted of 30 tons of fish that was to be loaded onto a Boeing 747 in Buenos Aires destined for Madrid. The plane took off at 11:50 a.m. local time in Santiago de Chile. During the flight, the master instructed the first officer to take the left pilot's seat and to steer the aircraft and land.
the accident
The descent was initiated without consulting the relevant checklist beforehand. Due to the tail wind, the machine flew above the forecast altitude at each measurement point. A quick and steep descent followed. The aircraft should have already been in the landing configuration near the pre-entry sign at a distance of 13 kilometers from runway 11. The crew quickly set the landing flaps to 14, 25 and 40 degrees. Shortly afterwards the setting was changed to 50 degrees. The nose of the aircraft tilted downwards and the aircraft went from its altitude of about 900 to 1000 meters into a steep descent from which it could no longer be intercepted. The plane hit the ground hard 750 meters from the runway at Buenos Aires-Ezeiza Airport, broke apart and caught fire. Two of the eight crew members were killed.
causes
The main cause of the accident was found to be an incorrect setting of the air brake at a time when the flaps were fully extended for the final approach. According to the investigators, the incorrect planning of the approach also contributed to the accident. The crew were also accused of not having recourse to experience from a similar incident in the past. In addition, the crew resource management should have been inadequate.
