Roberto was the youngest of 19 crash survivors, among them three children. Evidence suggested that they could very well have done so. At first, no one could say why Spanair flight 5022 was unable to climb, but the truth was soon revealed in the wreckage itself. That meant that they would need to do everything over again when it was time to leave. 3.5M views 5 years ago. [9]:3738 Another takeoff was then attempted, during which the accident occurred.[13][9]. This represented a fundamental vulnerability in the design of the check namely, that a crew who flew the same airplane together all day would not detect a failure of the TOWS if it occurred after the start of their shift. The mechanics carried out some routine procedures to confirm that the heater was working, but that was no use the problem was that they couldnt get it to stop! But after collecting 26 people with signs of life, no more could be found. (The TOWS does not care if the engines are actually generating power; it will sound when the levers are advanced even if the engines are off.) [4] As the aircraft took off, it stalled and impacted the terrain right of the runway strip, disintegrating and bursting into flames. Survivor Shares Terrifying Moments Before Plane Crash | It's August 2008 and Spanair Flight 5022 is late taking off from Madrid-Barajas airport. Had the aircraft involved in these incidents not been equipped with takeoff warning systems, then a significant percentage of these flights might have crashed. Track Southwest (WN) #5022 flight from Kahului to San Diego. That meant that Captain Garcia Luna and First Officer Mulet had checked the system that morning before leaving Barcelona, but were not required to check it again when departing Madrid in the same aircraft. The flight crashed after the Captain had forgotten to do parts of the take-off checklist. 
Because of the frequent handling of this circuit-breaker, it is also not easy to visually check that it is set properly. Track 5022 flight from London Stansted to Charles de Gaulle/Roissy. Breaking apart as it went, the fuselage continued forward, spinning around and turning over as both wings separated, liberating vast quantities of fuel, which ignited. These two factors hurrying and distraction negatively complemented one another and set the stage for the human errors which followed. Flight 5022 crashed just after takeoff from Madrid-Barajas International Airport two years ago today, killing 154 and leaving only 18 survivors. 154 passengers and crew on-board died, and only leaving only 18 survivors. Those who knew him say he was in the process of looking for work at other airlines, but in the meantime, he continued to fly for Spanair, which had scheduled him on a multi-leg domestic trip around Spain on the 20th of August. This kind of error had been seen before in fact the pilots of Delta flight 1141 did the exact same thing. Survivor Shares Terrifying Moments Before Plane Crash | It's August 2008 and Spanair Flight 5022 is late taking off from Madrid-Barajas airport. When engaged during takeoff, the autothrottle calculates an engine pressure ratio, or EPR, limit effectively, the highest thrust which can be achieved without overheating the engines. All three safety barriers provided to avoid the takeoff in an inappropriate configuration were defeated: the configuration checklist, the confirm and verify checklist, and the Take-off Warning System (TOWS). Between all of these changes, the CIAIAC got a reasonable share of what it asked for after the accident, but a few suggestions were rebuffed: the agencys recommendation to classify takeoff warning systems as safety critical, for instance, was not accepted. It was not possible to determine conclusively why the TOWS system did not work. Noting that the system didnt work, they switched to plan B and advanced the thrust levers manually to the calculated EPR limit, exactly as planned. Madrid air disaster: Air hostess describes her 'miracle' crash escape The sole survivor of the Spanair crew is still unaware her colleagues were killed 
Mechanics in Barcelona on August 19 had also attempted to fix the issue, but like the mechanics in Madrid, they were unable to trace the problem back to the R25 relay. Contact me via @Admiral_Cloudberg on Reddit, @KyraCloudy on Twitter, or by email at kyracloudy97@gmail.com. [1][9]:6[13][18][19][20][21], Most of the deceased and 16 of the survivors were Spanish nationals. Investigation Focuses on Flaps/Slats The airplane lifted off moments later, but almost the instant it did so, the stick shaker stall warning activated, shaking the pilots control columns, while an automated voice called out, STALL! That summer Spanair announced that it would ground 15 airplanes and cut 25% of its workforce in order to reduce costs, a move which was met with internal discontent and whispers of a possible strike. [9]:5769[16], Of the 172 on board, 146 perished in the crash or immediately after in the fire, including both pilots. The flaps and slats serve to improve this relationship by increasing the lift provided by the wings at low speed without a corresponding increase in angle of attack. The first error was the failure to set the flaps and slats during the After Start checklist, before the plane started taxiing. [9]:63 The investigation concluded that the position of its thrust reverser was a result of the accident, not a cause of it. Unable to sell the ailing carrier, Scandinavian Airlines was forced to downsize it instead. Spanair supported the mechanic's view that deactivation of the probe was an accepted procedure. In the meantime however, stress began to build. The aircraft was a McDonnell Douglas MD-82, registration EC-HFP. At 14:21, with flight 5022 now second in line for departure, the aircraft ahead of them was cleared for takeoff, and the pilots began the Before Takeoff checklist (known as Takeoff Imminent at Spanair). For take-off, this is done during the pre-takeoff checks, before entering the runway; on the MD-82, flaps and slats are controlled by a single lever on the cockpit's central console. In the event, the tendency of the airplane to sway wildly from side to side resulted in high bank angles that further increased the stall speed, making it harder to avoid the stall simply by pitching down. It was a mistake which, over the years, had caused tragedy after tragedy, from America to Indonesia, and now it had happened again in the heart of Spains capital city. Known among pilots as the Mad Dog, the MD-80 series consists of several stretched and updated versions of the 1960s-era McDonnell Douglas DC-9, fitted with somewhat more modern systems and avionics. STALL!. Instead, the pilots received instructions from Spanair operations to taxi the airplane, passengers and all, to a remote maintenance area at the edge of the airfield so that mechanics could try to fix the problem. Moments later, the pilots initiated their takeoff with the flaps retracted. The stall warning horn activated as well as the synthetic voice. McDonnell Douglas MD-82. In 1986, Scandinavian Airlines, the joint flag carrier of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, launched a new subsidiary airline in Spain, christened Spanair, with services to holiday destinations in Europe and the Americas. The crew did not detect the configuration error because they did not properly use the checklists to select and check the position of the flaps and slats during flight preparation, specifically: they failed to select the flaps/slats lever during the corresponding step in the "After Start" checklist; they did not cross-check the position of the lever and the state of the flaps/slats indicator lights during the "After Start" checklist; they omitted the flaps/slats check on the 'Take Off Briefing' (taxi) checklist; no visual inspection of the flaps and slats was carried out in execution of the "Final Items" step of the "Take Off Imminent" checklist. Smithsonian Channel Aviation Nation. Both pilots were killed, as well as passengers Charles Monroe Still, Jr. and Chris Baker. [9]:6[10][11], Fifty-nine minutes before the flight's second attempted take-off, the pilots had abandoned a departure because of excessive temperatures in the ram air temperature (RAT) probe. I heard a horrible noise', "Crash: Spanair MD-82 at Madrid on 20 August 2008, went off runway during takeoff", "A qu hora ocurri exactamente el accidente? Normally, the First Officer would read each item in the checklist, then the Captain would reply with its status; however, Captain Garcia Luna appeared to be in a hurry, because he replied to several items before First Officer Mulet read them out. In this impact the tail was torn off, the cockpit collapsed into the passenger area and the fuel leaked and ignited into a fireball. Civil Aviation Accident and Incident Investigation Commission, List of aircraft accidents and incidents resulting in at least 50 fatalities, "Spanish plane that crashed had overheated valve", "Families struggle to face up to losses in Spain air disaster", "Spanair collapses, stranding 20,000 people", "Spanish airline Spanair ceases operations after running out of funds", "Accident Description, McDonnell Douglas DC-9-82 (MD-82) EC-HFP", "Accident involving a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-82 (MD-82) aircraft, registration EC-HFP, operated by Spanair, at Madrid-Barajas Airport, on 20 August 2008", "Last moments of doomed Spanair flight caught on tape", "Madrid crash: 'The plane came to a sharp stop. With only 1,276 total flying hours, he was at the bottom of the seniority ladder and would surely be among the first to be let go. According to standard operating procedures, conversations with third parties in the cockpit during taxi are prohibited. _______________________________________________________________, Join the discussion of this article on Reddit, Support me on Patreon (Note: I do not earn money from views on Medium! Of the 172 people on board Spanair flight 5022, 154 lay dead the worst crash on Spanish soil since 1983. The proximate cause of the overheating probe was easy to guess: for whatever reason, the probe heater was turned on when it should not have been. [9]:192198[45][46], James W. Hudspeth, an investigator of a previous near accident (an MD-83, starting from Lanzarote) that was superficially similar, pointed out that the fuse of the so-called "left ground control relay" at position K-33 of the control panel might have been the actual culprit in the erroneous flight mode: Hudspeth found out during a 2-week investigation at Lanzarote that it is customary in normal maintenance routine to temporarily remove this circuit-breaker to engage flight mode, but the circuit-breaker is afterwards sometimes not replaced correctly. Before long, the pressure to get going again became critical. Data Products. Engine failure? First Officer Mulet asked, trying desperately to figure out why the plane was stalling. He immediately extended the flaps, at which point the stall warning stopped and the takeoff was continued uneventfully. On 24 December, 1983, A McDonnell Douglas DC-9 on the route took off from Madrid Barajas Airport en-route to Paris Orly Airport. This article is written without reference to and supersedes the original. [3], The accident further worsened Spanair's already negative image at the time[4] and exacerbated its financial difficulties. Of those who perished, 119 died of burning and/or impact forces, 32 from impact forces alone, one from smoke inhalation, and two from drowning an unlucky side effect of the water which saved so many others. [17], The crash threw some of the survivors clear of the wreckage and into a stream, lessening the severity of their burns. And so the mechanics and pilots agreed to defer the defect repairing the probe heater could wait until the end of the day. Furthermore, the procedures did not actually clarify who would call for the step to be completed once it had been deferred. Madrid air disaster: Air hostess describes her 'miracle' crash escape The sole survivor of the Spanair crew is still unaware her colleagues were killed McDonnell Douglas MD-82. Following the 1987 crash of Northwest Airlines flight 255, in which the takeoff configuration warning horn also did not sound, McDonnell Douglas urged all MD-80 operators to conduct the TOWS check before every flight, not just the first flight of the day. And on the slat position indicator, where a light reading T/O (takeoff) should have been illuminated, all the lights were still dark. The slats, located on the leading edges of the wings, were adjusted automatically depending on the flap setting, and at flap angles below 14 degrees, they would extend to the intermediate or mid position. Against all odds, their presence was sorely needed. In practice, this often meant that the Captain would call for the flaps out of sequence, but in this case that never happened. Although the airline was under special observation due to its poor financial status, recent audits by European and Spanish authorities had found no serious safety problems, and a separate inspection by Boeing experts concurred. One heavy fire truck managed to run down the fence, but the rest were substantially delayed, rushing to find an alternative route as flames spread through the brushland surrounding the crash site. Spanair Flight 5022 was a passenger flight from Barcelona to the Gran Canaria island with a stop in Madrid. The accident occurred during the second attempt, at 14:24 local time,[9]:6[14] due to the pilot's failure to deploy the flaps and slats as required for takeoff. All that remained were the final items: one last round of checks of the airplanes basic configuration. However, no takeoff briefing was conducted, possibly because the pilots were in a hurry and decided not to repeat a briefing that they had just conducted a little over an hour ago. At its current weight and altitude, the stall speed with flaps and slats retracted was 160 knots, compared to 123 knots with the flaps at 11 and the slats at mid. Furthermore, it would not be possible to maintain a speed greater than 160 knots unless the pilots kept the pitch angle below 13 degrees. WebVictims and survivors. It was the only fatal accident for Spanair (part of the SAS Group) in the 25-year history of the company, and the 14th fatal accident and 24th hull loss involving MD-80 series aircraft. WebSurvivor Shares Terrifying Moments Before Plane Crash It's August 2008 and Spanair Flight 5022 is late taking off from Madrid-Barajas airport. In May of 2008, a similar malfunction was reported on another Spanair MD-82, which mechanics managed to trace to the R25 relay by simple deduction: if the heater was on while the plane was on the ground, then the heater must think the plane is in the air, which means the air/ground system is likely at fault. If the R25 relay was in fact responsible for both malfunctions, which is at least probable if not provable, then the crash might have been incidentally prevented if the mechanics had discovered the cause of the RAT probe heater problem and replaced the relay. Starting in Barcelona, he met up with his Captain for the day, 39-year-old Antonio Garcia Luna, a moderately experienced pilot with almost 8,500 hours, over half of them in the McDonnell Douglas MD-82, the aircraft which they would be flying that day. Somehow, the pilots had sent their plane hurtling down the runway without extending the flaps and slats for takeoff, then failed to detect their error in time to avoid a catastrophic crash. Unsure what was going on and fumbling for a solution, the pilots failed to take decisive action, and within seconds the airplane began to stall. The crash alarm sounded in the airport fire stations, and dozens of first responders rushed to the scene only to find that access was blocked by the fence, which had formed part of the airport perimeter prior to the last runway expansion. Products. Even so, fundamental problems with the TOWS remained. The plan was born out of the chaos and disaster that all the families went through, explains Henar Guerrero, the secretary of the Flight JK5022 Victims Association. WebFlight status, tracking, and historical data for 5022 including scheduled, estimated, and actual departure and arrival times. Both pilots were killed, as well as passengers Charles Monroe Still, Jr. and Chris Baker. Just before 14:16, the pilots began the Taxi checklist, verifying the condition of the brakes, flight controls, instruments, transponder, and several other systems. Two stuck contacts within the relay were identified, which would explain the overheating both on the day of the accident and the intermittent incidents recorded over the previous few days. This perfect storm of psychological pressures began to influence the pilots mindsets as they prepared for the second departure attempt. On 20 August 2008 the McDonnell Douglas MD-82 operating this route crashed after take-off from runway 36L at Barajas Airport . At lower speeds, such as those associated with take-offs and landings (typically 160mph), the lift generated by the wings is much less than at cruise speed or would be were it not for the use of high-lift devices such as flaps and slats. [9]:63, El Mundo reported that the CVR showed that the pilot had said "Flaps OK, Slats OK" to the co-pilot. The aircraft later lost contacted with ground when it jumped over an embankment. If the R25 relay was erroneously reporting that the plane was in the air, it could explain both malfunctions. In their report, investigators wrote that this situation could have been avoided if the FAA, as the party responsible for the MD-80 type certificate, had issued a directive mandating the change. But then, just after taxiing onto the runway, they noticed something odd: the outside temperature reading, recorded by the Ram Air Temperature (RAT) probe on the exterior of the aircraft, was showing an absurdly high value, way above the actual ambient temperature of 29C at Barajas Airport. In fact, investigators noted that after the Northwest Airlines crash in 1987, substantial research had been conducted into how best to design checklists so as to prevent this type of error. Airbus systems prevent the pilot from pitching up beyond the stall angle of attack, and it makes no difference whether the pilot thinks the flaps are deployed because the computer knows they are not, and adjusts the maximum angle of attack accordingly. The report hinted at no other cause of the accident. How pilot error led to the deaths of 152 passengers and crew. Smithsonian Channel Aviation Nation. 154 passengers and crew on-board died, and only leaving only 18 survivors. WebMemorial plaque commemorating the 154 victims of JK5022 Of the 172 on board, 146 perished in the crash or immediately after in the fire, including both pilots. The pilot and co-pilot died from smoke inhalation and burns minutes after the crash. However, the warning did not sound, and the pilots continued with the attempt. The value of this EPR limit understandably depends on the outside air temperature. Calling checklist complete at the end of every checklist primes a pilot to expect that call and to notice if its missing, reducing the chances that a checklist could be left unfinished, but none of Spanairs checklists explicitly included this step. With the engines off, the MD-82 had no air conditioning, and the temperature in the passenger cabin was becoming unbearable. It was the world's deadliest aviation accident in 2008 and Spain's deadliest since the 1983 crash of Avianca Flight 011. Aeropuerto de Barajas (Madrid). In the eternal Boeing vs. Airbus debate, then, this is a strike in Airbuss column. [45] Investigators noted that one particular ground-sensing relay (relay R2-5) was responsible for de-energizing the RAT probe heater when on the ground, and for inhibiting TOWS when in the air. 3.5M views 5 years ago. Had flight 5022 been an Airbus, all else being equal, the plane would have climbed away from the runway at an angle shallow enough to ensure that it maintained sufficient airspeed, and no one would have been hurt. This system, referred to as a Takeoff Warning System, or TOWS, should activate if the thrust levers are moved to takeoff power while the flaps and slats are not extended, sounding a horn followed by an automated voice calling out, FLAPS SLATS. However, this warning was clearly not heard on flight 5022s cockpit voice recording, a discovery which sent investigators deep into the planes electrical system in an attempt to figure out why it was missing. Only 18 people survived. Track Southwest (WN) #5022 flight from Kahului to San Diego. With the plane idling at the runway threshold, already in possession of takeoff clearance, Garcia Luna used his cell phone to call Spanairs Maintenance Control Center at Palma de Mallorca for advice. 445K subscribers. Flight 5022 crashed just after takeoff from Madrid-Barajas International Airport on July 20, 2008, killing 154 and leaving only 18 survivors. Flugstatus, Tracking und Flugverlaufsdaten fr Southwest 5022 (WN5022/SWA5022) mit geplanten, geschtzten und tatschlichen Start- und Landezeiten. Both possessed at least average skills compared to other Spanair pilots, and the airline itself was not known for sloppiness either. Furthermore, in every checklist where they appeared, the flaps and slats were the last item. The last item on the After Start checklist was to set the flaps and slats, which was normally completed only once the ground crew had given the all clear signal for pushback. ", "Pelo menos 14 mortos so estrangeiros, um deles brasileiro - TSF", "More Than 150 Die in Madrid Plane Crash", "147 killed in plane crash at Madrid airport", "Death toll climbs in Spanair plane crash", "153 killed in Madrid airport plane crash", "British woman's incredible escape from doomed Madrid plane", "20-08-2008. How could it have happened again? WebVictims and survivors. With the flaps and slats still unset, flight 5022 departed the remote parking area at 14:14. The successful outcome in this incident suggested that training pilots to check the position of the flaps and slats during a stall on takeoff could have prevented the Spanair disaster. If they had searched the airlines maintenance records for similar cases, they would have discovered the May incident and the mechanics solution, but it seems they never did. Spanairs checklists met neither of these criteria. If there is one lesson that flight 5022 ought to teach us, its that within every pilot, there is an unconscious but persistent tendency to hurtle headlong toward a takeoff without extending the flaps, as though driven by a devil on their shoulder, forcing them past one check after another. The MCC advised him to try resetting the Z-29 circuit breaker, which controls power to the RAT probe heating system, but he replied that he had already done this and it didnt work. In normal flight, lift is a function of the inverse relationship between airspeed and angle of attack, or the angle of the wings relative to the airstream: for a given, constant amount of lift, a decrease in airspeed requires an increase in angle of attack, and vice versa. Its wingtip almost touching the ground, with stall warnings and BANK ANGLE warnings blaring, the plane streaked along just barely above the runway, the pilots shouting desperately as they fought for control. Engulfed in flames, what remained of the plane tumbled into the bed of a creek, scattered burning debris through the water and across the opposite bank. Similar crashes also befell a LAPA Boeing 737 in Buenos Aires in 1999, killing 65, and a Mandala Airlines Boeing 737 in Medan, Indonesia, in 2005, killing 149. On 20 August 2008 the McDonnell Douglas MD-82 operating this route crashed after take-off from runway 36L at Barajas Airport . Analyzer of plane crashes. [4] Reading off the items, the pilots confirmed that the flight attendants had been alerted, the spoilers and autobrakes were armed in case of a rejected takeoff, and the cockpit windows were closed. In 2007, Scandinavian Airlines had announced its intention to sell its controlling stake in Spanair, but as the financial crisis escalated, prospective buyer Iberia pulled out of a deal to merge with Spanair in May 2008. Lurching down onto its landing gear, the plane skidded across the grass for 448 meters, then flew off an embankment, dropping down into the area between runway 36L and the parallel runway 36R. E-mail address 6. The simulations showed that instead, the easiest way to escape the stall and avoid the crash would have been to deploy the flaps and slats within the first 5 seconds or so after the onset of the stick shaker stall warning. The basic shape of all aircraft wings is designed for optimum speed and fuel-efficiency during cruise flight (at around 500mph/430 knots TAS [true airspeed] in the MD-82). If a checklist is interrupted or left incomplete, the items near the end are more likely to be forgotten, which is why important items like the flaps and slats should be near the start. WebTo help us determine your eligibility for a survivor supplement, you must provide the following information: 3. No such recovery ever came. The front third of the fuselage was on the stream bed, while the rear two-thirds were on the north side of the stream. It was the world's deadliest aviation accident in 2008 and Spain's deadliest since the 1983 crash of Avianca Flight 011. 154 passengers and crew on-board died, and only leaving only 18 survivors. This kind of automatic behavior is common in situations where a pilot must carry out familiar but repetitive tasks while under stress or time pressure. Spanairs operating procedures stated that this item was to be accomplished after receiving the all clear from the ground crew, but that created a certain risk, in that it sometimes required deferral of the flaps and slats if the after start checklist was completed too early. The landing gears and the engines detached from the aircraft and the plane continued sliding on the ground then colliding with another small embankment. Air stairs were then brought to the plane and mechanics boarded in an attempt to troubleshoot the issue. Aeropuerto de Barajas (Madrid).
