The aircraft
The aircraft involved was a 19-year-old Boeing 747-200F freighter registered HL7451. First flown on 4 April 1980, the aircraft had completed 15,451 flights with a total flight time of 83,011 hours before its fatal flight.WEB, HL7451 Korean Air Lines Boeing 747-200,weblink 2020-06-27, www.planespotters.net, en, WEB, Korean Air HL7451 (Boeing 747 - MSN 22480),weblink 2020-06-27, www.airfleets.net, Airfleets aviation,INU failure and failed repair
Following the plane's departure from Tashkent on the previous flight segment, one of its inertial navigation units (INUs) had partially failed, providing erroneous roll data to the captain's attitude director indicator (ADI or artificial horizon). The first officer's ADI and a backup ADI were correct, a comparator alarm called attention to the discrepancy, and in daylight, the erroneous indication was easily identified. The ADI's input selector was switched to the other INU and the correct indications returned.At Stansted, the engineers who attempted to repair the ADI did not have the correct Fault Isolation Manual available and did not repair or replace the faulty number 1 INU. One of them identified and repaired a damaged connecting plug on the ADI. When the ADI responded correctly to its "Test" button, they believed the fault had been corrected, although this button only tested the ADI and not the INU. The ADI's input selector was left in the normal position.Flight crew
The flight crew consisted of:- 57-year-old Captain Park Duk-kyu (Hangul: ë°ëê·, Hanja: æ´å¾å, RR: Bak Deuk-gyu, M-R: Pak TÅkkyu)
- 33-year-old First Officer Yoon Ki-sik (Hangul: ì¤ê¸°ì, Hanja: å°¹åºæ¤, RR: Yun Gi-sik, M-R: Yun Kishik)
- 38-year-old Flight Engineer Park Hoon-kyu (Hangul: ë°íê·, Hanja: æ´è°å, RR: Bak Hun-gyu, M-R: Pak Hun'gyu)
- 45-year-old maintenance mechanic Kim Il-suk (Hangul: ê¹ì¼ì, Hanja: éæ¥å¥, RR: Gim Il-seok, M-R: Kim IlsÅk).NEWS, Byrne, Caroline, 23 December 1999, Korean Air Faces Crackdown After 4 Die In London Crash, The Seattle Times, Associated Press,weblink 3 January 2012, NEWS, 23 December 1999, [KALí물기 ì¶ë½]è±ì ì´ë¥2ë¶ë§ìâ¦ì¹ë¬´ì 4ëª ëª¨ë ì¬ë§, ko, [KAL Freighter crashed] 2 minutes after taking off from British...

Flight
File:Korean Air Cargo Flight 8509 - final ADI indications.jpg|thumb|Attitude reference data at the moment of impact of HL-7451. Note the captain's (left side) ADI shows the aircraft near wings-level and nearly 40 degrees nose-down, while the first officer's (right) ADI shown the aircraft in a steep left bank of nearly 90 degrees and nearly 40 degrees nose down. These indications were reconstructed using the last information recovered from the flight data recorder. The centre instrument, the "standby horizon," was heavily damaged in the impact, and only the front part of it was recovered a year later. Its near 90 degree bank angle agrees with the first officer's ADI, and smudge marks suggest the vertical reference was forcibly moved against the instrument, which might account for its apparent pitch discrepancy with the other two instruments.WEB,weblink Report appendices, Air Accident Investigation BranchAir Accident Investigation BranchIt was dark when the plane took off from London Stansted Airport, with the captain flying. The aircraft entered the clouds 400 feet above the terrain. When the captain banked the plane to the left, the faulty INU sent erroneous data to his ADI, preventing the instrument from showing the aircraft was in a bank. The comparator alarm sounded repeatedly, which was an indication that the aircraft's two ADI displays were in disagreement. The first officer, whose own ADI displayed the correct angle of bank, according to information from the aircraft's flight data recorder, failed to participate in full crew resource management techniques, saying nothing to challenge his captain's actions nor making any attempt to take over the flight with his own controls. The older and more experienced flight engineer did call out "Bank is not working" (translated into English from Korean in the AAIB report) 20.8 seconds before impact, "Bank Bank" (in English) 16.9 seconds before impact, "Standby indicator [in English] also not working [in Korean]" 10.2 seconds before impact, and "OY Bank" (in Korean) 1.5 seconds before impact. The captain continued to ignore the chiming alarm and made no verbal response to the flight engineer. Data from the flight recorder indicate that during this time the control wheel was commanding the aircraft into a steeper left bank. At 18:38, 55 seconds after take-off, Flight 8509's left-wing dragged along the ground, then the aircraft plunged into the ground at a speed of between {{convert|250|and|300|kn|km/h mph}}, in a 40° pitch down and 90° left bank attitude. The aircraft exploded on impact.Aftermath
After the investigation, the United Kingdom's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) issued recommendations to Korean Air to revise its training program and company culture, to promote a more free atmosphere between the captain and the first officer. The first recommendation of the AAIB's final accident report was that: Korean Air continue to update their training and Flight Quality Assurance programmes, to accommodate Crew Resource Management evolution and industry developments, to address issues specific to their operational environment and ensure adaptation of imported training material to accommodate the Korean culture.In popular culture
A March 2012 episode of Mayday also called Air Crash Investigation in the U.K. and the rest of the world (Season 11 Episode 7) titled "Bad Attitude" or "Stansted Crash" investigates this accident.See also
