United Arab Airlines Flight 869 was an international scheduled passenger de Havilland Comet 4C flight from Tokyo, Japan, to Cairo via Hong Kong, Bangkok, Bombay and Bahrain.[1][2] On 28 July 1963 it was being operated by a de Havilland Comet registered as SU-ALD, when on approach to Bombay's Santa Cruz Airport it crashed into the Arabian Sea off Bombay on 28 July 1963 with the loss of all 63 passengers and crew on board.[1][2] Among the 55 passengers was the Philippine delegation of 24 Boy Scouts and adults traveling to the 11th World Scout Jamboree in Greece.[3]

Accident

At 1:46 a.m. in Mumbai on 28 July 1963 (20:16 GMT on 27 July), the Comet crew reported being overhead the Santa Cruz VOR beacon at 7,000 feet (2,100 m) and were cleared to descend to 4,000 feet (1,200 m).[2] The crew requested an instrument landing system approach to runway 09 and that they would follow the back beam procedure.[2] The Air Traffic Control informed them the procedure was not available and they should carry out an approach using the VOR beacon.[2] The crew agreed to use the procedure and reported leaving 7,000 feet (2,100 m) in the descent on the 272-degree radial from the VOR.[2] The controller advised them that they might encounter heavy turbulence if they went more than six or seven miles (5.2 or 6.1 nmi; 9.7 or 11.3 km) west of the airport.[2] The crew requested a left-hand procedure rather than the more normal right-hand one because of the weather.[2] Permission was granted and the aircraft, already in severe turbulence, entered a left-hand turn and then crashed into the sea at 1:50 a.m., nine nautical miles (10 mi; 17 km) from Madh Island.[2]

Probable cause

Because no wreckage was salvaged and the crew did not report any problems, it was concluded that the aircraft was probably lost due to loss of control while turning in severe turbulence and heavy rain.[2]
