Training

The crew was completing a local training mission at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. On takeoff, the instructor reduced power on the left engine to simulate a failure. After rotation, during initial climb, the crew elected to restore the power on the left engine when the airplane banked left, causing the left wing to struck the ground. Out of control, the airplane crashed on the left of the runway and came to rest. All four crew members were uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was completing a night training mission at Tel Aviv Airport, consisting of touch-and-go manoeuvres. After landing, control was lost and the airplane veered off runway before coming to rest. All three pilots were slightly injured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

On touchdown, the aircraft went out of control, veered off runway and came to rest in flames. All six crew members escaped uninjured while the aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire.

The aircraft overran the departure end of runway 29R at Stockton Metropolitan Airport, California, during the performance of a crew training flight. The aircraft struck a roadway thereby collapsing the left main and nose landing gears. The aircraft came to rest 792 feet beyond the end of the runway. The aircraft was destroyed by fire. The five crewmembers aboard were uninjured. The flight was scheduled for use for recurrent training and annual proficiency checks of first officers in DC-8 equipment. The flight originated at the Oakland International Airport (OAK) and was to terminate at OAK. Training maneuvers were to be conducted in the Stockton area, with landing and takeoff practice to be performed at the Stockton Metropolitan Airport. During a touch-and-go landing on Runway 29R at the Stockton Metropolitan Airport, the captain rejected the takeoff because of the sounding of a takeoff warning hob and the activation of a ground spoiler extend light. The crew was not able to stop the aircraft on the remaining runway.

The crew was engaged in a local training flight at Castle AFB, completing touch and go manoeuvres. Shortly after takeoff, while in initial climb, the airplane pitch up. The tail stalled and the airplane crashed onto the runway. All six crew members were killed.

While completing a local training mission by night and poor weather conditions, the crew exercised poor judgement regarding the distance with the preceding aircraft when the cockpit base struck the top of the tail of the preceding aircraft. On impact, the tail penetrated the fuselage, killing the captain instantly. In panic, the copilot abandoned the aircraft with his parachute. Out of control, the airplane dove into the ground and crashed, killing all six remaining crew members.

The aircraft, brand new, has just been delivered to the owner and the crew was completing a local training flight at Courtyard Farm Aerodrome, Norfolk. On final approach, the airplane banked left, causing the left wing to drop and to struck the ground. On impact, the left main gear was partially torn off and the airplane slid for several yards before coming to rest. All three occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While completing training manoeuvres in the vicinity of RAF Oakington, the twin engine airplane collided with a private Cessna 150 registered G-ATKF. The pilot of the Cessna was able to perform an emergency landing as well as the crew of the Varsity who landed at RAF Oakington. Nevertheless, the aircraft was later considered as damaged beyond repair.
