Air Algérie Flight 5017 (AH5017/DAH5017) was a scheduled international passenger flight from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, to Algiers, Algeria, which crashed in Mali, near Gossi, on 24 July 2014. The McDonnell Douglas MD-83 with 110 passengers and 6 crew on board, operated by Swiftair for Air Algérie, disappeared from radar about fifty minutes after take-off. There were no survivors. The accident was the fourth-deadliest aviation incident in 2014, behind Indonesia AirAsia Flight 8501, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. It was also the second deadliest accident involving the MD-83, just behind Dana Air Flight 992 which crashed in Lagos, Nigeria, and the seventh deadliest in the MD-80 series. Malian authorities are conducting an investigation with the assistance of France's Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la Sécurité de l'Aviation Civile. ==Accident== Flight 5017 departed from Ouagadougou Airport at 1:15 local time (UTC) on 24 July 2014.〔 It was scheduled to land at Houari Boumediene Airport, Algiers, at 5:10 local time (4:10 UTC).〔 The aircraft reached cruise altitude, flight level 310 (FL310), 22 minutes after departure and attained its target speed of 280 knots (IAS). About two minutes later, it began to gradually lose speed, and, though the speed did eventually drop to 200 knots, the aircraft maintained FL310. After an unspecified length of time had passed, the aircraft began to descend, and the speed dropped to about 160 knots. Afterwards, the aircraft entered a left-hand turn and began to lose altitude more rapidly, thus spiralling down. The flight data recording stopped at 1:47; at the time, the aircraft was at an altitude of and a speed of 380 knots.〔 It crashed into the ground at 270 m above sea level about a second later.〔 On 28 July, it was revealed that the flight crew had asked to return to Burkina Faso, after first requesting to deviate from course because of bad weather. There was a mesoscale convective system in the area at the time, and the aircraft had deviated to the left of its course to avoid it.〔 Satellite images apparently identifying the light flare from the aircraft impact at the margins of the storm were captured. Initially there were conflicting reports of the location of the crash. The aircraft's flight route took it over Mali, and it was reported to have disappeared between Gao and Tessalit. French forces reported detecting wreckage of the aircraft in an area between Gao and Kidal, in a desert region that is difficult to access. France sent a military unit to secure the wreckage of the Air Algérie plane. Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta said wreckage had been found in the country's northern desert, between Aguelhok and Kidal. There were also reports of wreckage being found near the town of Tilemsi in Mali, with officials from Algeria, Burkina Faso, and France having issued conflicting details. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Air Algérie Flight 5017」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
