Incident Overview

Description
An Airbus A300B4-203F cargo plane, registered XA-TUE, was destroyed when it crashed on final approach to Monterrey-Gen. Mariano Escobedo Airport (MTY), Mexico. All five crew members were killed as well as the driver of a car that was hit by the aircraft. AeroUnion Flight 302 had departed Mexico City-Benito Ju rez International Airport (MEX) on a cargo service to Los Angeles International Airport, CA (LAX) with an en route stop at Monterrey. The flight had been cleared for a VOR-DME approach to runway 11 at Monterrey. At a distance of 3.2 DME from the runway the flight reported going around. At a distance of 2.6 DME, the indicated altitude and aircraft speed had not changed significantly. Then the aircraft began a steep climb to 3700 feet, during which the aircraft lost speed. The Airbus stalled and fell off the right, impacting a road at 700 meters to the right of the runway centreline. CAUSES: “Impact of aircraft on ground as a result of loss of control on a missed approach.” Contributing factors: – Lack of crew coordination (CRM) – Diminished situational awareness – Failure to follow proper operational procedures – Unstabilised non-precision approach – Unsuitable aircraft configuration – Adverse weather condition
