Accident Description: [ Ссылка ]=
𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗶𝗿𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝟮𝟵𝟱 was a scheduled international passenger flight from Taipei to Johannesburg with an intermediate stop in Mauritius. The flight was being operated by a Boeing 747-200 (Reg. ZS-SAS) on 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟴, 𝟭𝟵𝟴𝟳.
The plane departed Taipei at 14:23 UTC on November 28. About 23:45 the master fire warning alarm sounded on the flight deck. Somebody, probably the pilot, inquired where the warning had come from and received the reply that it had come from the main deck cargo. The pilot then asked that the check list be read. The pilot called Mauritius Approach Control at 23:49 and said that they had a smoke problem and were doing an emergency descent to FL140. At 23:51 the approach controller asked the pilot for his actual position. The pilot replied: "Now we have lost a lot of electrics, we haven't got anything on the aircraft now".
At 00:02:43 the pilot gave a distance report as 65 nautical miles. This was understood by the approach controller to be the distance to the airport. In fact it was the distance to the next waypoint, Xagal. The distance to the airport at that point was approximately 145 nautical miles. At 00:03:56 the controller cleared the flight for a direct approach to the Flic-en-Flac NDB and requested the pilot to report on approaching FL50. At 00:04:02 the pilot said: "Kay". At about 00:07 the plane crashed into the Indian Ocean at a position determined to be about 134 nautical miles North-East of Plaisance Airport. All 159 people aboard were killed.
𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆:
- The accident followed an uncontrollable fire in the forward right pallet on the main deck cargo compartment. The aircraft crashed into the sea at high speed following a loss of control consequent on the fire.
- In terms of Section 12(1) of the Aviation Act, No 74 of 1962, as amended, the Board is required to determine not only the cause of, but also responsibility for, the accident (compare paragraph 3.1 of Annex 13). There is, however, no basis in the evidence from which the Board would be justified in assigning responsibility for the accident to any person or body, and, therefore, the Board is unable to do so.
