Turkish authoritres have sunk an A300 airbus crash
The aircraft, serial number MSN023, was on its first pre-delivery test flight and was scheduled to be the third A400M to be delivered to the Turkish Air Force.The delivery was scheduled for June 2015. The aircraft, number MSN23, was being flown by an Airbus Defence and Space test crew and used the callsign CASA423.
The pilots had reported that the plane had a technical fault and asked permission to land, but hit an electricity pylon while attempting an emergency landing.Tracking data from the Flightradar24 website indicated the plane had veered to the left before coming down and that it had reached a maximum altitude of 1,725 feet (526 m) before descending at a constant speed of about 16,000 feet per minute/160 knots (300 km/h; 180 mph).
As of May 2015, Airbus has delivered just 12 of the 174 ordered so far and the programme has been plagued by persistent quality issues, both in the final assembly facility in Spain, and in Germany.
