Accidents and incidents

[edit]
  • On 9 July 2018, Royal Air Maroc Express Flight 439, flying the third leg of a V-leg flight from Casablanca - Al Hoceima - Tangier and return, with near zero visibility, and 52 passengers and 5 crew on board, had a double impact with the ocean on approach to Al Hoceima when the captain violated operating procedures.[5] This included deactivating the Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) and ignoring minimum height and visibility limits, with the result that the aircraft bounced off the surface of the sea twice on approach, about 1.4 nautical miles north of the airport, causing the pilot to declare a missed approach and to divert to an alternate airport at Nador International. The impacts resulted in severe damage to the landing gear and the lower body of the aircraft. No passengers or crew were harmed in the near crash and the aircraft was eventually repaired. The senior pilot initially lied to ATC about the reason for the missed approach as being a 'Bird Strike', and repeated this lie on his initial report.[5]
