Turkish airliner crashes at Schiphol

[flapsforty]

Verbatim from press conference:

• Capt in LH seat, (fully qualified) FO in RH seat doing a training flight, observer FO on jumpseat
• Normal approach, no changes, to 18R
• Descent on AP, normal procedure for TK
• At 1950 ft LH RadAlt indicated -8 ft and passed this info to the A/T
• From CVR: crew get aural landing-gear warning but not consider this a problem
• A/T pulled throttles closed
• Aircraft started to behave as if it were a few meters above the runway and about to land
• The crew did not at first react to this state of affairs
• stick shaker and other warnings went off at 450 ft
• From FDR: full power was then applied
• Because of the full power on the engines and the sudden contact with the ground, both engines broke off and continued another 250 meters forward
• FDR stores 25 hours, in this case 8 flights, same problem had occured twice previously before previous landings.

Advice issued to Boeing, will leave that to the pilots here.
