Accidents and accidents
- August 16, 1987, flight 255 Detroit Wayne County Metropolitan Airport - John Wayne Santa Ana Airport with intermediate landing at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport . Liner McDonnell Douglas MD-82 , registration number N312RC. During takeoff with unflatched flaps and slats from the runway of the Detroit Metropolitan Airport, the plane lost speed and crashed outside the runway. Out of 155 people on board, one four-year-old girl survived. The catastrophe led to a mistake by the crew, who did not check the position of the flaps and slats before takeoff. As well as the lack of electrical voltage in the take-off alert warning system, which was caused by the conscious shutdown of the electrical fuse in the Central Aural Warning System ( CAWS ) circuit.
