	NTSB Abstract - AAR-00/01 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Flight 801 departed from Kimpo International Airport, Seoul, Korea, with 2 pilots, 1 flight engineer, 14 flight attendants, and 237 passengers on board.
		Flight 801 was operating in U.S. airspace as a regularly scheduled international passenger service flight under the Convention on International Civil Aviation and the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 129 and was on an instrument flight rules flight plan.
		The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the Korean Air flight 801 accident was the captain’s failure to adequately brief and execute the nonprecision approach and the first officer’s and flight engineer’s failure to effectively monitor and cross-check the captain’s execution of the approach.

		Flight DLH 2904 was scheduled to fly from Frankfurt to Barcelona to Frankfurt to Warsaw and back to Frankfurt.
		The flight diverted from its approach to Miami International Airport because the nose landing gear position indicating system of the aircraft did not indicate that the nose gear was locked in the down position.
		The National Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the failure of the flight crew to monitor the flight instruments during the final 4 minutes of flight, and to detect an unexpected descent soon enough to prevent impact with the ground.

	National Transportation Safwty Baord Abstract On Korean Air Flight 801 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Although flight 801 likely exited a heavy rain shower shortly before the accident, the flight crew was still not able to see the airport because of the presence of another rain shower located between Nimitz Hill and the airport.
		By not fully briefing the instrument approach, the captain missed an opportunity to prepare himself, the first officer, and the flight engineer for the relatively complex localizer-only approach and failed to provide the first officer and flight engineer adequate guidance about monitoring the approach; therefore, the captain's approach briefing was inadequate.
		The first officer and flight engineer noted the ground proximity warning system (GPWS) callouts and the first officer properly called for a missed approach, but the captain's failure to react properly to the GPWS minimums callout and the direct challenge from the first officer precluded action that might have prevented the accident.

	STOL CH 801 Flight Report (Aviation Quarterly, Fall 1999)
		Like the 400 CH 701s flying today, the 801 is optimized for short field operations, and the fields don't have to be smooth because the double-cantilever spring-leaf main gear and large 800 tires can tame rough terrain with ease.
		Most aviators are not comfortable in conventional tail-draggers, and the nose gear and upswept rear fuselage allow the 801 to rotate to steep angles of attack for super-short takeoffs and landings.
		As for options, the 801 can be equipped with skis, floats and a belly pod with a 300-pound capacity, to name a few desirable items As a member of the amateur-built category, the aircraft can be greatly modified to personalize its uses.

	Honolulu Star-Bulletin Local News
		KAL Flight 801, a Boeing 747 carrying 254 passengers and crew members, crashed Aug. 6, 1997, in heavy rain several miles off course from the airport runway.
		Flight 801, coming from Seoul, disappeared from air-traffic radar screens after being cleared for landing approach to A.B. Won Pat International Airport in Agana, Guam.
		Investigators said at a March 1998 hearing on the crash that Flight 801's pilots inexplicably brought the plane in a straight descent toward a radio beacon and missed a beep that should have sounded to tell them that they were nowhere near the runway.

	Investigators leaning toward human error in crash of 747 in Guam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		There is no evidence of mishandling of the flight by air traffic controllers, and the controllers say the plane's initial approach to the landing pattern appeared to have been normal.
		Feith said that readouts from the plane's other "fl box" -- the flight data recorder -- showed that all of the systems aboard the plane were functioning normally and that the big plane was descending toward the airport in a normal, slightly nose-high attitude.
		On Friday night, George Black, the NTSB member in overall command of the investigation, repeated his earlier observation that because the crash appeared to be "a controlled flight into terrain," human error of some kind probably was a major factor in the accident.

		The flight acknowledged, and then was given the 09:00 LaGuardia weather, ceiling 1,700 feet and visibility 1 1/2 miles.
		Flight 801 reported leaving the LaGuardia range at 09:00 and was cleared to land on Runway 22.

	Inbuilt Flaws in big single-engined Cessna Commuter Planes?
		Before the crash of Air China Flight 129 in Busan, Korea (see "Circling Traps," B/CA, September 2002, page 90), there was reportedly an MSAW alert displayed to the military controller that was not relayed to the civil ATC controller or the crew.
		This is a classic "fl hole approach." Most of the errant flights were saved by EGPWS alerts, but not one crew was advised by Tucson controllers that their aircraft was on a velocity vector that could take them into the mountains northwest of the field.
		I surmised that a seemingly minor change in instrument flight procedures had a major impact on MSAW effectiveness as well as on other areas yet to be discussed.

		In the table, the phrase "equivalent to issue statement" means that the board's description of the problem they discovered in their investigation was approximately the same as the problem suggested by the issue statement of one of the flight deck automation issues.
		The phrase "similar to issue statement" means that their description did not quite match the issue statement but that their essential meaning seemed to be the same, or that it seemed to the analyst that the investigating board described a problem very similar to that suggested by the issue statement.
		In the same column, "analyst unsure" means that the analyst could not determine from the description how significant the board found the problem to be, but that the board at least seemed to imply that it could have played a role.

	_Korean Air Flight 801: Warsaw and the FTCA_
		The flight was operated by Korean Air Lines as KAL Flight 801 from Seoul, Korea, to Agaña Guam.
		The flight crew did not follow the step-down procedure on the Localizer approach, but rather descended in a straight line, and crashed into Nogomo Hill, about three miles short of the runway.
		Because of that inattention, he failed to see its dangerous descent and failed to call the flight crew and issue the required "low altitude alert" to KAL 801.

		It is also interesting that Flight 801 crashed in Guam after flying by Japan on August 6, the anniversary of the Atomic Bomb being dropped on Japan.
		And Flight 800 crashed on July 17, the day after the anniversary of the testing of the first Atomic Bomb in New Mexico; also, the project to develop the first Atomic Bomb had been called the "Manhattan Project", so that may symbolically relate to Flight 800 crashing near New York City.
