Seoul - Jeju

On August 10, 1994 at 11:22 AM, Seoul - Jeju experienced a crash involving Airbus A300-600, operated by Korean Air, with the event recorded near Jeju Jeju (<U+C81C><U+C8FC><U+B3C4>).

The flight was categorized as scheduled revenue flight and the reported phase was landing (descent or approach) at a airport (less than 10 km from airport) crash site.

160 people were known to be on board, 0 fatalities were recorded, 160 survivors were identified or estimated. This corresponds to an estimated fatality rate of 0.0%.

Crew on board: 8, crew fatalities: 0, passengers on board: 152, passenger fatalities: 0, other fatalities: 0.

The listed crash cause is human factor. The descent and approach to Jeju Airport was completed in poor weather conditions with turbulences and heavy rain falls as typhoon 'Doug' was passing over. On final approach, flaps were deployed at 15°/20° as the captain was suspecting windshear and microburst conditions. Twice, the copilot informed the captain about the approach speed of 147 knots which was acknowledged. The captain continued the approach but too high on the glide, the aircraft landed too far down the runway, about 1,773 metres past its threshold. On a wet runway surface, the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance (1,227 metres remaining), overran at a speed of 104 knots and eventually collided with a concrete wall and military barracks, bursting into flames. All 160 occupants were quickly evacuated, among them seven were slightly injured.

Aircraft reference details include registration HL7296, MSN 583, year of manufacture 1990.
