Popis: A performance analysis was conducted of the Arrow Air DC-8-63 takeoff accident at 10:15 GMT, December 12, 1985 at Gander, Newfoundland. A two-part study was conducted. A takeoff sensitivity analysis was performed using a digital, fixed stick simulation program to establish the relative performance degradation resulting from several factors that were candidate causes or contributing factors to the accident. The second approach was to reconstruct the accident trajectory by solving the airplane equations of motion using flight recorder data and known accident facts supplied by the Canadian Aviation Safety Board (CASB) as input. Consistent results were achieved from the two approaches.
