FedEx Flight 80 was a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 cargo aircraft operating a flight from Narita International Airport, Japan, to Los Angeles, USA. On March 23, 2009, while attempting to land at Narita Airport during strong crosswind conditions, the aircraft bounced hard on the runway. After the second touchdown, the right wing struck the ground, causing the aircraft to flip over and burst into flames.
Both pilots on board were killed in the accident. The investigation concluded that the primary causes were improper landing technique, poor handling of the aircraft during a bounced landing, and failure to execute a go-around. Strong winds and the MD-11’s sensitivity during landing were contributing factors.
