Henan Airlines Flight 8387

Henan Airlines Flight 8387 was a scheduled flight of China's national airline Henan Airlines from Harbin to Yichun, Heilongjiang, which crashed near Yichun on August 24, 2010. This was the first accident involving fatalities with an Embraer E- 190th

Accident

When approaching the airport Yichun Lindu, the aircraft went to a controlled flight into terrain in flames and was completely destroyed. The air accident investigators came to the conclusion that the owner pilot on his first approach to the airport the approach despite a reported by the aerodrome control visibility of only 2,800 m, which was below the minimum sight distance of 3,600 m, continued.

The crew continued the approach, although the start and runway was not visible due to radiation fog. Despite the current schematic level warning by the radar altimeter, the intended missed approach procedure was not successful.

As a further factor in road accidents, the poor security management of the airline was blamed.
