The Levee Landing and the Unplugged Radar

The Levee Landing and the Unplugged Radar

Taca Flight 110 experienced a dual engine failure after heavy hail struck the aircraft, forcing the pilot to execute a dead-stick landing on a narrow grass levee, successfully saving everyone on board. Investigations led to engine design changes to improve resistance to water and ice ingestion.
The Linate Airport disaster occurred when a Scandinavian Airlines jet collided with a private Cessna in thick fog on the runway. Contributing factors included poor taxiway markings, deactivated sensors, and the lack of ground radar, making the collision unavoidable.
Both incidents highlight how thorough investigations of technical failures and human factors can drive global aviation safety reforms.
