CN-235 Crashes at Akinci, Killing Four Crew
A malfunctioning aileron is the most likely cause of the fatal
crash of CN235-100M, sn153, that occurred at Akinci, Turkey on
May 18, 2001, on its first flight after production, killing three
Spanish and one Turkish crewmember, CASA officials said. Established
quality control and test procedures were followed, but they were
inadequate to prevent the accident, which is currently under investigation
by Turkish airworthiness officials and EADS. The investigation
should be complete in six to eight weeks. QC and test procedures
will be upgraded as a result of the accident, according to the
company.
