Flagship Airlines Flight 3379 was a scheduled American Eagle flight from Piedmont Triad International Airport to Raleigh-Durham Airport which crashed while executing a missed approach to the Raleigh-Durham airport the evening of Tuesday, December 13, 1994. The two pilots and 13 passengers died in the crash, five passengers survived.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19941213-0 )〕 == Accident == The crew for Flight 3379 were Captain Michael Hillis, 29, and First Officer Matthew Sailor, 25.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://articles.latimes.com/1994-12-15/news/mn-9335_1_black-box-records-cockpit )〕 At 18:05, Flagship 3379 took off from Greensboro running late due to baggage loading. The aircraft climbed to a 9,000 ft cruising altitude and contacted Raleigh approach control at 18:14, receiving an instruction to reduce the speed to 180 knots and descend to 6,000 ft. Raleigh final radar control was contacted at 18:25 and instructions were received to reduce the speed to 170 knots and to descend to 3,000 ft. At 18:30 the flight was advised to turn left and join the localizer course at or above 2,100 ft for a runway 5L ILS approach. Shortly after receiving clearance to land, the no. 1 engine ignition light illuminated in the cockpit as a result of a momentary negative torque condition when the propeller speed levers were advanced to 100% and the power levers were at flight idle. Captain Hillis suspected an engine flame out and eventually decided to execute a missed approach. The speed had decreased to 122 knots and two momentary stall warnings sounded as the pilot called for max power. The aircraft was in a left turn at 1,800 ft and the speed continued to decrease to 103 knots, followed by stall warnings. The rate of descent then increased rapidly to more than 1,000 ft/min. The aircraft eventually struck some trees and crashed about four miles southwest of the runway 5L threshold at 18:34. The aircraft was manufactured in 1991 and had logged 6,577 flying hours.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.airdisaster.com/reports/ntsb/AAR95-07.pdf )〕 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「Flagship Airlines Flight 3379」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
