Crash Luxair 9642 : erreurs de pilotage, mauvais temps, et népotisme

Narration of the Luxair accident on 6 November 2002: a Fokker 50 departed Berlin at 07:40 for Luxembourg-Findel amid dense fog (RVR measured ~225–275 m, below the aircraft's 300 m minima). The crew—a 26-year-old captain (4,211 flight hours, captain since age 25) whose father was the airline's chief pilot—made a sequence of operational errors during approach (the video notes 'more than 13 operational errors'). Attempting a non‑standard interception of the ILS, the crew manipulated propeller/power controls and—amid a known Fokker design vulnerability—allowed a transient false 'on-ground' signal (a 16-second window) that led to inadvertent propeller reverse/negative pitch in flight. The sudden thrust reversal, subsequent emergency actions and loss of airspeed led to a near-vertical impact in a field; of 22 onboard, 20 died and 2 survived. The captain was later sentenced to 41 months with a suspended sentence; company firings and legal follow-up lasted into the 2010s.
