This rare photo from Frank's collection shows AP-ALN in 1974. On
July 5, 1994, AP-ALN with 4 crew members and 38 passengers
onboard was operating flight PK-684 from Islamabad to Dera
Ismail Khan. On final approach to Dera Ismail Khan Airport, the
flight crew faced problems with no.1 engine. The approach was
continued, but poor alignment with the runway forced the crew to
go-around. The no. 2 engine was set at full power and gears and
flaps were retracted, but the aircraft continued to lose height.
A turn was made to avoid a river and the F27 touched down in a
paddy field. The aircraft slid for 300 meters before colliding
with a tree. Fortunately all passengers and crew members aboard
the aircraft remained unhurt in this accident. AP-ALN was
damaged beyond economical repairs and withdrawn from service
after this accident |
