File No. 6197-41
- 2 -
turbulence with a shifting wind was encountered throughout the first landing approach. This condition undoubtedly would have been expected by the Captain had not poor radio reception prevented the First Officer from understanding all of the weather report transmitted to him by the Control Tower Operator. Investigation failed to reveal any malfunctioning of the aircraft or any of its components.
PROBABLE CAUSE: Failure of the captain to maintain adequate terrain clearance during landing approach under extremely turbulent air conditions.
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: 1. The use of fully extended flaps in turbulent air.
2. Poor radio reception.
2. Poor radio reception.
