1966 Air New Zealand DC-8 crash

On 4 July 1966, an Air New Zealand Douglas DC-8-52 crashed on takeoff from Auckland International Airport on a training flight, killing 2 out of the 5 crew members on board. The crash was the first fatal accident in the history of Air New Zealand and the only accident to date of a commercial airliner in New Zealand.

Localisation

The investigation concluded that during the captain's attempt to simulate an engine failure, the captain accidentally deployed the thrust reverser on the number four engine. This resulted in the aircraft's speed falling below the minimum control speed, which resulted in the aircraft becoming uncontrollable and the eventual crash.
