EL AL 1862 MAYDAY MAYDAY Flight LY1862 gives the mayday-call. The Air Traffic Controller understands and asks if he can change to the approach frequency, but this part wasn't broadcast by the Dutch news. |

|
FIRE ENGINE NUMBER 3 Flight LY1862 say that they have a fire in engine 3. What actually happened was that the inner right engine got loose and smashed away engine 4 as well. At this moment the crew was unaware of that and the instruments gave a fire alarm. |

|
EMERGENCY : ENGINES 3 AND 4 INOPERATIVE Flight LY1862 has changed the frequncy and reports an emergency again. At this moment they know that engines 3 and 4 are inoperative. They also ask if they can use runway 27 and they're given immediate clearance, but that last part also wasn't broadcast. |
|
|
CHECK AND PROBLEMS WITH FLAPS The Air Traffic Controller doublechecks the emergency and flight LY1862 tells that they also have problems with the flaps |
|
|
WE HAVE A CONTROLLING PROBLEM Flight LY1862 says that they also have problems controlling the aircraft. |
|
There are a few parts missing here where the Air Traffic Controller gave some course corrections to flight LY1862, because it was running wide in the turn towards runway 27. This part also wasn't broadcast by the Dutch news. |

RETRACT FLAPS GEAR DOWN The co-pilot wanted to say something to Schiphol, but was interrupted by his captain, who gave the order in Israeli Hebrew to retract all flaps and to put the landing-gear down. "Tarik et kol haflaps!! Et kol haflaps tarik!!" - Pull up the flaps! Up with those flaps! then he says : "Torid et hagear!" - Gear down! The captain wanted to pull up the flaps, because they only worked on one side because of damage to the hydraulic system and made the plane roll to the right. That damage was caused when engine 3 broke loose and smashed away several wing parts as well as engine 4. |

GOING DOWN 1862, COPIED? GOING DOWN Flight LY1862 final words: Going down 1862. Going down Going down. Copied? Going down. If you listen carefully you can hear the "stick-shaker", which indicates a stall. You can also hear the "WHOOP" sound of the ground warning, moments before the El-Al 747 crashed into a block of flats. |
