One-Two-GO Airlines Flight 269 was a scheduled passenger flight of the budget airline One-Two-Go Airlines , on 16 September 2007 at the 600 km long domestic flight from Bangkok airport Don Mueang to Phuket airport , a McDonnell Douglas DC 9-82 crashed in a failed go-around. The machine had 123 passengers and seven crew members on board.
course
The plane took off from Don Mueang Airport at around 2:30 p.m. local time and crashed during a failed go-around attempt in Phuket . After a 60-minute flight at around 3:39 p.m., the pilots abandoned an attempt to land. Since the thrust lever was at idle, the aircraft crashed onto the airfield next to the runway, where it then slipped into a boundary wall. At the time of landing, the wind was west at 10-40 knots and it was raining heavily. The machine broke in three pieces and went up in flames.
root cause
A coincidence of several occasions was mentioned as the cause of the accident in the final report of the investigations: On the one hand, the weather situation was bad, on the other hand, the aircraft crew did not react adequately, and the situation at the airport itself was considered to be in need of improvement. Before landing, the Indonesian pilot Areef Mulyadi is said to have been warned several times about difficult wind conditions by the tower, but nevertheless decided to land.
Salvage
The two flight recorders were recovered and flown to the United States for analysis.
