French-language narrated analysis of the Flying Tigers Flight 66 accident (7 February 1989). A Boeing 747-200 cargo flight departed Singapore for Kuala Lumpur on a short night sector; the airline had been acquired by FedEx in 1988 but still operated with Flying Tigers livery. The four-person, elderly and experienced cockpit crew (captain ~60, first officer ~60, flight engineer ~70, plus a fourth mechanic) flew a night NDB approach because the ILS was out. Short-sector operational pressures, crew fatigue, and the complexity of NDB approaches are highlighted. A phraseology/miscommunication issue led the crew to interpret an ATC clearance as 400 ft (instead of 2400 ft), the radio-altimeter later showed ~100 ft, GPWS pull-up warnings were annunciated but ignored, and the aircraft impacted terrain (CFIT). All four on board were killed; the aircraft burned for two days. The narrator notes the accident received little lasting attention because there were no ground fatalities.
