NTSB accidents & incidents
Operated by Emery Worldwide Airlines, Inc. (per NTSB report)
The failure of company maintenance personnel to install the correct hydraulic landing gear extension component, and the failure of company maintenance inspection personnel to comply with proper post maintenance test procedures, resulting in the impossibility of the LMLG to extend, and the subsequent LMLG up landing. A factor in the accident was the improper identification tag marking on the replacement component, and no marking on the component, itself.
Operated by Emery Worldwide Airlines (per NTSB report)
A malfunctioning relay in the aircraft's flight management system (FMS) switching matrix and associated false "on course" indication on the captain's course deviation indicator (CDI), resulting in proper localizer course alignment not being obtained or maintained and subsequent flight in close proximity to the new control tower. The reason for the reported false "on course" indications on the first officer's CDI was not determined. Factors contributing to the incident included low ceiling and obscuration, weak signal received by both localizer receivers due to faulty BNC connectors, and the new control tower.
Operated by EMERY WORLDWIDE AIRLINES (per NTSB report)
The failure of the clamp that secured the high-pressure bleed air duct to the high-pressure relief valve. Factors were the resulting excessive pressurization of the engine nacelle, and the subsequent separation of the engine cowling.
Operated by EMERY WORLDWIDE AIRLINES (per NTSB report)
the flight crew misjudged the clearance between their right wing and the radome of the parked aircraft. A factor associated with the accident was the ground handling contractor failed to identify the unsafe/hazardous condition that existed on the congested ramp area.
Operated by EMERY WORLDWIDE AIRLINES (per NTSB report)
The flight crew's failure to perform a missed approach upon failing to attain and/or maintain proper course/runway alignment and glidepath on final approach, resulting in a high-sink-rate landing and subsequent separation of a main landing gear wheel from the aircraft. Factors contributing to the incident included: low ceiling; the first officer's failure to attain and/or maintain proper course/runway alignment and glidepath on approach; insufficiently defined company procedures for responding to deviations from a stabilized approach profile; inadequate FAA principal operations inspector approval of company operating procedures; and a worn main landing gear wheel retaining nut.
