Santo Domingo-Las Américas International Airport (SDQ) - Dominican
Republic

A Gulfstream G-IVSP, registration HI1050, was destroyed when it struck
terrain while attempting to make an emergency landing at Santo
Domingo-Las Américas International Airport (SDQ/MDSD), Dominican
Republic. The two pilots, one flight attendant and six passengers were
killed. Among those on board was Puerto Rican music producer Flow La
Movie (José Ángel Hernández). Helidosa Aviation said Hernandez was
accompanied by six relatives and colleagues. It identified them as
Debbie Von Marie Jimenez Garcia, Keilyan Hernandez, Hayden Hernandez,
Yeilianys Jeishlimar Melendez Jimenez and Jesiel Yabdiel Silva. The crew
members were Luis Alberto Eljuri and
Víctor Emilio Herrera, the company
said.
According to preliminary investigation results shared by Dominican
Comisión Investigadora de Accidentes de Aviación (CIAA) on January 18,
2022, the aircraft arrived at Las Américas International Airport, Punta
Caucedo, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, at 12:35 local time
following a flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico on the same day of the
accident. The aircraft was suddenly moved to a hangar of Helidosa
Aviation Group for maintenance. The company worked to the aircraft for
three hours, replacing a ground spoiler actuator on the aircraft's right
wing. Soon, the plane was moved back to the apron for a flight to
Orlando International Airport, Orlando, Florida. According to footage
taken from the CCTV at the airport, the pilots made a check of the
flights control. The spoilers on both wings extended, but only those on
the left wing retracted again. The aircraft was then seen taxiing for
departure with the three spoilers on the right wing still extended.
After take-off, the crew immediately experienced a flight control
problem. Soon after the control issue, the pilots declared an emergency
and requested the vectors to return to the airport. As the situation
advanced, the pilots decided to deviate back to Las Américas
International Airport, where they were cleared to land on runway 35. On
the final approach to the airport, the aircraft hit some trees and
subsequently the ground at about 200 meters on the right side of the
runway. The flight lasted a total of almost 16 minutes.

Houston Executive Airport, TX - USA
Aviation Investigation Final Report

A corporate
McDonnell Douglas MD-87, N987AK,
suffered a runway excursion after an aborted takeoff from Houston
Executive Airport, Texas, USA. The aircraft burst into flames after
coming to rest in a field. All 21 are evacuated safely with two
people being injured.
Probable Cause: The jammed
condition of both elevators, which resulted from exposure to localized,
dynamic high wind, while the airplane was parked and prevented the
airplane from rotating during the takeoff roll. Also causal was the
failure of Everts Air Cargo, the pilots’ primary employer, to maintain
awareness of Boeing-issued, required updates for its manuals, which
resulted in the pilots not receiving the procedures and training that
addressed the requirement to visually verify during the preflight checks
that the elevators are not jammed.

Nigerian
army chief dies in air force plane crash
21.05.2021/ 18:00 LT
near Kaduna Airport (KAD), Nigeria

A Nigerian Air Force Beechcraft B300 King Air 350i (NAF203) has crashed
near Kaduna Airport (KAD/DNKA). Ibrahim Attahiru, chief of army staff, who was one of the victims, was
said to be on his way to Kaduna to attend a passing-out parade for army
recruits scheduled for Saturday. The army had said all the 11 officers
aboard the ill-fated aircraft died. Deceased occupants onboard are
listed as follous:
Passengers (Lt. Gen. I. Attahiru, Brig Gen. M.I.
Abdulkadir, Brig. Gen. Olayinka, Brig. Gen. Kuliya, Maj. L.A. Hayat,
Maj. Hamza, Sgt. Umar);
Crew (Flt. Lt. T.O. Asaniyi, Flt. Lt. A.A.
Olufade, Sgt. Adesina, ACM Oyedepo).
Military authorities have suggested that the flight crashed due to
adverse weather conditions.
But, Ali-Keffi, a retired major general, asked President Bola Tinubu to
probe the crash.
He alleged that the crash was linked to terror sponsors, adding that the
full report of the investigation of the incident has not been made
public.
Ali-Keffi said Attahiru developed a strategy to end terrorism, “part of
which was the infiltration of terror groups and the instigation of
crisis among their leaders, which culminated in the elimination of Boko
Haram leader”.
The retired general wondered why the plane left Abuja despite an alert
of a stormy weather condition in Kaduna.
“Meantime, there was a meteorological alert that Kaduna airspace was
going to experience heavy rainfall accompanied with a storm (wind
shear), and it was advised,” he added.
Earlier, Ali-Keffi had written a letter to Tinubu over his arrest,
detention, and compulsory retirement after the revelations of a
presidential investigative taskforce that he headed. The panel,
constituted by former President Muhammadu Buhari, exposed the
involvement of senior government officials, a top banker, and a senior
military officer in terrorism financing.

Then, the first officer advised ATC that they would return to HMO/MMHO.
The ATC operator then coordinated the return maneuver.
Less than a minute later, the ATC operator observed a cloud of smoke in
the distance coming from the wrecked aircraft. The ATC operator notified
the emergency services. In addition, help was requested from another
taxi flight (XB-HRQ) that was about to take off to find the wreckage
site.
Eight minutes after the impact, emergency services found the plane
completely burned and entangled between power lines that it had impacted
during the fall.
Four people were found with deadly injuries at the scene, including the
captain. Three other occupants were seriously injured and taken for
medical attention, but all died due to the severity of the injuries
hours later.
