Aircraft

The aircraft was a Boeing 737-230 with the serial number 22635/774 and it was registered D-ABHD and had its first flight on June 15, 1981 and was delivered in July of the same year to the airline. The aircraft was equipped with 2 Pratt & Whitney JT8D-15A engines.

Accident description

The flight was uneventful until final approach, when the aircraft, with the co-pilot acting as Pilot flying, was cleared for an ILS approach to the Outer Marker (Non-Directional Beacon) and then on to Runway 35. The aircraft's ILS was switched on after it had passed the NDB, therefore missing the turn. The crew, confused, then followed the wrong side beam of the ILS, and it struck Dümentepe Hill, 10.5 nautical miles (12.1 mi; 19.4 km) from the airport, killing all 16 people on board.[3]

Crew and Investigation

The captain, Wolfgang Hechler (48), was a former Starfighter pilot. According to the evaluation of the cockpit voice recorder, he continuously talked to the First Officer Helmut Zöller (33), even in the approach phase and kept on criticising, lambasting and insulting him, partly without reference to duty or work subjects.[4]

The investigation concluded: The accident occurred due to the wrong use of navigation aids. The cause is attributed mainly to the lack of adherence to company procedures especially in respect of crew coordination during approach and basic instrument flying procedures.[5]
