On October 31, 2000, at 1517 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), 2317 Taipei local time, Singapore Airlines (SIA) Flight SQOO6, a Boeing 747400 aircraft, bearing Singapore registration No. 9V-SPK, crashed on a partially closed runway at Chiang Kai-Shek (CKS) International Airport during takeoff.
The Investigation Laboratory of ASC has removed the flight recorders from accident site, and took five days to finish theft readouts. SQ006's flight trajectory is calculated in the WGS-84 coordination system, in orders to analyze its accuracy, and was then mapped with the CR5 airport surface map and precision aerial digital maps. The result indicated that SQ006 was taxiing into runway 05K and taking off; the accuracy of position is four meters. This result enables ASC to acknowledge the accurate ground path of SQ006 in a relatively short time. This article conjoins the flight trajectory data with instrument landing system (ILS) to calculate the relative distance between the SQ006 on runway 05R and Localizer at the end of runway 05L, and compared the result with the centerline position along with runway 05R, with an average error is 3.3 meters. This paper explains the importance of flight trajectory reconstruction with digital mapping and analyzing the result with ILS, which is essential requirement for aviation accident investigation.
This article will also look into the crash sequences of SQ006, an essential segment of the investigation. This includes the crash scene, flight data recorded, reconstruction and analysis of its flight trajectory, and confirming the relationships of the SQ006's flight trajectory with the airport surface map, runways and taxiways.
