List of airline flights that required gliding

Last updated

Airplane gliding occurs when all the engines shut down, but the wings are still functional and can be used for a controlled descent. This is a very rare condition in multi-engine airliners, [1] though it is the obvious result when a single-engine airplane experiences engine failure. The most common cause of engine shutdown is fuel exhaustion or fuel starvation, but there have been other cases in aviation history of multiple engine failure due to bird strikes, flying through volcano ash, ingesting debris, and various forms of damage due to water (hail, ice or overwhelming rain).

Below is a list of commercial airline flights that were forced to glide at some point while in the air.

DateFlightAircraftLocationCauseResultTotal fatalitiesOccupants
14 April 1953Miami Airline (irregular air carrier) [2] Douglas DC-3 East of Selleck, Washington Dual engine failure due to poor maintenanceOn approach to Boeing Field, left engine failed & its propeller feathered; minutes later, right engine failed. While gliding, aircraft was unable to clear mountain, crashed into trees, breaking up. Investigation showed both engines suffered bearing failures due to negligent maintenance.725
30 April 1953 Aeroflot Flight 35 Ilyushin Il-12 Kazan, Russia Dual engine fireAt altitude of 300 m, both engines caught fire. Crew tried feathering propellers, captain decided to land plane on Volga River. One passenger drowned during evacuation. [3] [4] 123
24 February 1962 Tarom Ilyushin 18V [5] Ilyushin Il-18 Paphos, Cyprus Icing of fuel filters (probable)En route at 7,000 m (23,000 ft) over Mediterranean Sea while 70 km (43 mi) from coast of Cyprus, engine 3 lost power, followed by engines 1 & 2. At 3,100 m (10,200 ft), 45 km (28 mi) offshore, engine 4 also lost power. Plane underwent belly landing on ground near Paphos, Cyprus after 45 km (28 mi) glide.0100
21 August 1963 1963 Aeroflot Tupolev Tu-124 Neva river ditching Tupolev Tu-124 Leningrad, Russia Fuel exhaustion Nose landing gear failed to properly retract after takeoff, crew unable to lock gear in extended position.

30 May 1967East African Airlines 5Y-ADA [6] Vickers VC10 Bombay, India Fuel starvation due to improper use of boost pumpsClimbing through 15,000 ft on departure from Bombay, all four engines lost power because of failure to use fuel boost pumps.
