 Lack of ground radar may have led to Milan Linate crash - Jane's Europe News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
A causal factor behind today's crash at Milan Linate airport, in which a Scandinavian Airlines Systems (SAS) airliner hit a light aircraft and then crashed into a baggage handling building, was a lack of ground radar.
The flight, SK 686, was en-route to Copenhagen.
Along with examining the lack of ground radar, investigators are likely to focus on a number of other factors as they attempt to piece together the fatal movements of the aircraft in question, including controller-pilot instructions, effectiveness of runway lighting systems, weather and language issues.

All 110 persons aboard a Scandinavian Airlines flight bound for Copenhagen died when the airplane collided with a private plane at Milan's fog-shrouded Linate airport, veered off the runway into a baggage hangar, exploded and caught fire.
They sited pilot error, probably due to heavy fog which blanketed the airport, and the fact that the airport's ground radar system was inoperable at the time, as the probable causes of the crash.
SAS flight SK 686 had been cleared for takeoff, and was traveling at about 200 mph, when it struck the Cessna, which had apparently taken a wrong turn, and crossed into the path of the SAS plane.
