Stockholm - Alicante

On January 6, 1987 at 09:12 AM, Stockholm - Alicante experienced a crash involving Sud-Aviation SE-210 Caravelle, operated by Transwede, with the event recorded near Stockholm-Arlanda Uppland.

The flight was categorized as charter/taxi (non scheduled revenue flight) and the reported phase was takeoff (climb) at a airport (less than 10 km from airport) crash site.

27 people were known to be on board, 0 fatalities were recorded, 27 survivors were identified or estimated. This corresponds to an estimated fatality rate of 0.0%.

Crew on board: 6, crew fatalities: 0, passengers on board: 21, passenger fatalities: 0, other fatalities: 0.

The listed crash cause is human factor. Immediately after liftoff from runway 08, while climbing to a height of about 10 meters, the aircraft pitched down. The copilot confirmed that the airspeed value and the engine indications were normal. The airplane was continuing to 'float' above the runway and the captain decided to land back. The aircraft landed hard on its nose gear and bounced. The second touchdown was completed on both main gears but hard again, causing them to penetrate the wings and the fuel tanks, causing the fuel to spill. Out of control, the aircraft slid for about 300 meters then veered off runway to the left and came to rest in a snow covered field, bursting into flames. All 27 occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Aircraft reference details include registration SE-DEC, MSN 263, year of manufacture 1970.
