Code Number:: TAFV36P10_18
Title:: 9V-ATD, Learjet-31, Singapore Airlines SIA, Training Jet; CN: 31-033B
First flight: 1993
Engines: 2x Garrett TFE731-2-3B
Accident Report:
Date: 21/07/1997
Time: 13:08
Operator: Singapore Airlines SIA
Registration: 9V-ATD
Crew: Fatalities: 2 / Occupants: 2
Passengers: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: 0
Total: Fatalities: 2 / Occupants: 2
Airplane damage: Written off
Airplane fate: Written off (damaged beyond repair)
Location: 48 km (30 mls) S of Ranong (Thailand)
Phase: En route (ENR)
Nature: Training
Departure airport: Phuket International Airport (HKT) (HKT/VTSP), Thailand
Destination airport: Ranong Airport (UNN) (UNN/VTSR), Thailand
Narrative:
The Learjet crew consisted of an instructor and a trainee pilot. For the short flight from Phuket to Ranong the crew were supposed to carry out the approach briefing before takeoff. They failed to do so, which left them little time en route to carry out the procedure and cross-checking the distance and altitude during the flight. The instructor misinterpreted the Ranong DME distance and caused the trainee pilot to descend below minimum sector altitude in unfavourable weather conditions. The aircraft consequently flew into high terrain. CFIT

Even as a kid, I have always been amazed with flight - and yet as magical as flying seems to be - The burning of fossil fuels by the aviation industry is not sustainable! The industry (and each of us) are in fervent denial, even though the industry espouses their green credentials. This charade will be one of the many atrocities that destroys a human habitable world. Though the Earth does not care, WE as the dominant species should! To fly is to massively pollute! . . . and will hasten our own demise. The Sixth great extinction is presently underway. 2024 ... --- ...
