Incidents
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 pilots ignored company rules and performed multiple actions in direct violation of both aircraft and company procedures.[6] This included deactivating the Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) and blatantly 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 incident report,[7] but after seeing the extent of the damage and hearing that salt deposits had been found inside the hull of the aircraft, realised this would not be believable and amended his report to state the truth about striking the water prior to the missed approach. (A bird strike carries no fault for the pilot, while an ocean strike does) No information is known as to the disposition of the pilots of this flight.
