III. Factual Description

1.8 Aids to Navigation

1.8.1 VOR/DME

VHF Omni-directional Range, VOR, provides aircraft radius information

to VOR ground station which is a clockwise direction of magnetic north

azimuth data. Airborne VOR receiver receive the reference phase signal

and a variable phase signal that VOR ground station transmits. Through

comparison of phase between these two signals, airborne VOR receiver

will obtain the relative radius information (magnetic azimuth) between

aircraft and VOR ground station and is indicated by aircraft instruments.

Flight crew follow selected courses of as indicated by instruments to fly,

and will achieve the purposes to maintain enroute directions or complete

final approach.

VOR antenna is installed to transmit azimuth information of horizontally

polarized wave covered within 0 to 40 degrees elevation range. While an

aircraft flies toward VOR on a selected course, the Course Deviation

Indicator (CDI) of aircraft will show "TO" VOR. After passing through

VOR, CDI will show "FROM" VOR. Rest of elevation range between +40

to -40 degrees is VOR signal cone of silence.

Magong VOR is currently a DVOR (Doppler type), renovated from

CVOR(Conventional type) on June 1, 2013. The DVOR system has more

robustness in resisting multipath interference than traditional CVOR. This

DVOR is produced by SELEX (Italy), model DVOR1150A with dual

transmitters, dual monitors and dual power supplies to ensure VOR signal

integrity and continuity. Its frequency is 115.2MHz, call sign MKG (see

Figure 1.8-1). There are two main functions of this DVOR, enroute VOR,

which navigates aircraft in flight route A1 and W6 and terminal VOR,

which acts as final approach navaids of both Runway 02 and Runway 20.

DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) provides aircraft distance

information. The interrogators of aircraft transmit interrogation pulses of

UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band to a ground DME transponder. The

ground transponder automatically transmits pulses in response to inquiries.

Based on the time difference of received waves, the projected distance is

measured.

Magong DME was replaced on June 1, 2013. It was produced by SELEX

(Italy), model DME1119A with dual transmitters, dual monitors and dual

power supplies, and is at the same location with DVOR to use for enroute

and final approach navigation. Its frequency is 115.2MHz, call sign MKG.

According to interview notes (Refer to Attachment 6-1) of navaid

maintenance staffs, the monitoring antenna of DVOR located at 92 meters

away from the center of VOR antenna, bearing 48.2°. If VOR course signal

deviation occurs more than ± 0.8 degree, the receivers on ground station

will show "Alert" warnings with yellow light for the duty officer of navaid

maintenance staffs. If the detected signal deviation is more than ± 0.9 °, the

receivers on ground station will show "Alarm" warnings with red light. If

this "Alarm" remains more than 30 seconds, the operating machine will

shutdown, and automatically switch to the standby machine 20 seconds

later. If this problem still persists in the standby machine, it will shut down

immediately. Fifty seconds later, the above restart logic will reiterate again.

If no success it will be totally shutdown. If such shutdown happens, the

duty officer of navaid maintenance staffs should notify the control tower,

and immediately publish NOTAM (Notice to Airmen, NOTAM). The

signal monitoring antenna is shown in Figure 1.8-2. The receiver of main

computer is shown in Figure 1.8-3.

There was no "Alert" or "Alarm" and "shutdown" recorded from the VOR

monitoring system since July 15. (see Appendix 6-1)

The last flight tests before the occurrence for Magong VOR was hold on

May 06, 2014. All detected signal deviation was within standard tolerance.

A final comment in the test report is "unlimited to use". Another flight test

after accident for Magong VOR was held on August 11, 2014. All detected

signal deviation was within standard tolerance. (Refer to Attachment 6-2)

There was no pilot complain since its commission on June 1, 2013.

This VOR had two system failure events a year before this occurrence.

These failure events were self detected automatically by its monitoring

system. In Sep 30, 2013, there was a failure event for 19 hours and 40

minutes due to a carrier coaxial latching relay failure. In Oct 23, 2013,

there was a failure event for 1 hours and 17 minutes due to carrier power

amplifier and directional coupler failures.

1.8.2 Instrument Landing System

Runway 20 is not equipped with an Instrument Landing System(ILS) but

Runway 02 is equipped with, the ILS 420 system produced by THALES

Italian. This ILS was commissioned in December 2005. The localizer

working frequency is 109.1MHz, dual-band, dual transmitters, dual

monitors and dual power supplies. The localizer is equipped with LPD

antenna array (log-periodic dipole array) that does not provide back course

signal.

A precision approach and landing environment requires several

components. The localizer provides final approach azimuth navigation

information to landing aircraft. The localizer antenna sends a VHF carrier

signal with 90-Hz and 150-Hz sideband frequencies that the aircraft

instruments determine as left and right of the centerline. The landing

aircraft interprets these signals and displays them on the cockpit indicator

guiding the pilot until the runway is in sight.

The glide slope sends a UHF carrier signal with 90-Hz and 150-Hz

sideband frequencies that aircraft instruments determine as above or below

the desired glide path. This glide path is approximately 3 degrees to the

horizon.

In addition to the localizer and glide slope, runway requires proper lights

and markings along with an approach lighting system. Other components

may be required, such as Runway Visual Range (RVR).

CAA provides summary report regarding the assessment report of

constructing an ILS system with proper approach lightings at Runway 20.

According to this report, An ILS system will be constructed for Runway 20

by 2016. (Refer to Attachment 6-3)

1.10 Aerodrome

1.10.1 Airside basic information

Magong Airport1 is located 10.2km northeast of Magong City, ICAO

aerodrome code RCQC. The elevation of the airport is 103 feet. The

magnetic variation is 3° with annual change at 0.02° since 2004. The

airport operation hours for administration is 23:00-14:00 (UTC). The

category for firefighting is CAT 7 with the rescue equipments include 3 fire

engines (total capacity: water 30,000 liters, foam 3,720 liters). The largest

type of aircraft that the airport is equipped to tow is Airbus 321.

Magong Airport has a physical runway with threshold 02 and 20. Runway

02 with magnetic bearing 21.67° is 3,000 meter long, 45 meters wide, 103

feet in elevation at the threshold. It has a clearway with 300 meters long

and 60 meters wide and no stopway. Runway 20 with magnetic bearing

201.67° is 46 feet in elevation at the threshold. It has a clearway with 285

meters long and 75 meters wide and no stopway. ( see Figure 1.10-1)

1.10.2 Runway Approach Lighting Systems

Runway 02 has the Medium Intensity Approach Lighting System with

Runway Alignment Indicator Lights (MALSR) installed. This MALSR

uses 7 light bars with 5 white steady burning lights (complied with FAA

FAR 38) separated every 200ft (60 meters). Each light of a light bar was

installed one meter apart. At the 1,000ft (300meters) , there are three light

bars (15 lamps) for added visual reference for pilots on final approach.

There are also 5 sequenced white flash lights every 200ft apart over 1,400ft

(420meters) to 2,400ft (720meters) from the runway threshold. These

flashers were produced by ATG, model PSUV-101/PSUV-102 with

frequency of two per second. Sequenced flashing lights provide additional

visual guidance down the runway centerline path. (see Figure 1.10-2)

MALSR provides visual information to pilots on runway alignment, height

perception, roll guidance, and horizontal references for Category I

Precision Approaches2,. The planned approach visibility is at least 1,800ft

to 0.5 miles, with a decision height of 200ft.

Figure 1.10-2 Runway 02 approach lighting system

There is no approach lighting system on Runway 20. Referred to ICAO

Annex14 (Attachment 6-5) and CAA "Civil Aerodrome Design and

Operations Specifications"(Attachment 6-7), where physically practicable,

a simple approach lighting system should be provided to serve a

non-precision approach runway. A simple approach lighting system should

consist of a row of lights on the extended centre line of a runway over a

distance of not less than 420 meters from the threshold. The related

regulations are shown in Appendix 6-2.

Based on the measurement, about 500 meters is extended along Runway

20 centerline within the airport area, as shown in Figure 1.10-5.

12

Figure 1.10-5 Available distance measured from Runway 20 (by Google

Earth)

According to AIP Taipei FIR (referred to Attachment 6-8), REIL (Runway

end identifier lights) were installed on the both side of Runway 20

threshold, as shown in Figure 1.10-3.

The REIL provides rapid and positive identification of the end of the

runway3. The system consists of two types of synchronized flashing lights,

unidirectional or omni-directional. The unidirectional lights face the

approach area. REIL is effective for: identification of a runway surrounded

by a preponderance of other lighting, identification of a runway which

lacks contrast with surrounding terrain, and identification of a runway

during reduced visibility. The REIL provides three intensity settings, and

has an approximate range of three miles during daylight and twenty miles

at night.

There are two white flashing lights installed symmetrically to the runway

20 centre line, in line with the threshold and approximately 10m outside

each line of the runway edge lights4, as show on Figure 1.10-4. These

lights are produced by ATG, model PSUV-101/PSUV-102.The flash

frequency is twice per second, the intensity of REIL is 22,500cd.(Referred

to Attachment 6-6)

1.10.3 Runway lighting system

Both Runway 02 and Runway20 installed 6 fixed bidirectional runway

threshold/end lights5 illuminating in green in the direction of approach to

the runway. The lights were made by OCEM, model SLTE. Runway 02

also installed 10 fixed unidirectional runway threshold lights illuminating

in green in the direction of approach to the runway with wing bar lights.

The lights were made by OCEM, model SLTH. The wing bar lights

illuminating in green symmetrically disposed to the runway centre line at

the threshold in two groups. Each wing bar is formed by 5 lights extending

10 m outward from, and at right angles to, the line of the runway edge

lights, with the innermost light of each wing bar in the line of the runway

edge lights. The lights were made by OCEM, model SLAP. Each light is

210 watt, the maximum light intensity by measurement is between

4,650-7,210cd at Runway 02 side and 4470-7210cd at Runway 20. (Refer

to Attachment 6-4)

The west bound of Runway 02 is equipped with Precision Approach Path

Indicator (PAPI) 400 meters away from the threshold. The lights were

made by ADB, model PAPB-4. Each light is 315 watt, the maximum light

intensity by measurement is between 385,000-437,000 cd.

The east bound of Runway 20 is equipped with Precision Approach Path

Indicator (PAPI) 321 meters away from the threshold. The lights were

made by Crouse-Hinds, model 880-3-B. Each light is 200 watt, the

maximum light intensity by measurement is between 157,000-228,000 cd.

Both Runway 02 and Runway 20 have white/yellow runway edge lights

installed with two circuits on both sides of the runway edges separated

every 200 ft (60 meters). The lights were made by Crouse-Hinds, model

8624, which complied with FAA AC 150/5345-46 L-862. Each lights is

200 watt, the maximum light intensity by measurement is between about

5,000-10,000 cd.

1.10.4 The lighting control system

According to the interview notes of navaid maintenance staff, Magong

tower encountered lightning strike at about 16:22 and it destroyed ATC

control tower remote control capability of lighting system. According to

the telephone records of the communication between tower and navaid

maintenance staffs, the airport lights control function was transferred from

the tower to the navaid maintenance station. The navaid maintenance staff

was asked to keep lights intensity to the highest, referred to Attachment

6-10. According to the interview notes of navaid maintenance staff, at

16:56, a navaid maintenance staff executed this instruction and manually

turned on runway edge lights and runway threshold/end lights, Runway 20

PAPI with REIL. All lights intensity was set to the highest.

If the lights had normally been controled from Tower, the records would

have shown turn on/off status and their intensities. But if transferred to

manual control, the intensity would not be recorded.

The records of lights control status are shown in Figure1.10-8.

Some parameters are illustrated as following:

1. R/W edge light A1:No.1 circuit for runway edge lights and

15

threshold/end lights, power supply source A;

2. R/W edge light B1:No.1 circuit for runway edge lights and

threshold/end lights, power supply source B;

3. R/W20 PAPI:Runway 20 PAPI;

4. R/W20 PAPI&REIL:Runway 20 PAPI and REIL

According to the interview notes of the navaid maintenance staffs, the

control button of R/W20 PAPI & REIL in the maintenance station failed

due to the previous lightning. The navaid maintenance staff connected the

electric circuits of R/W20 PAPI&REIL to R/W02 PAPI, and controlled all

lights by R/W 02 PAPI control button. As shown in Figure 1.10-9, Runway

02 PAPI button was turned on at 16:56.02 and turned off at 23:27.57, it

means that the Runway 20 PAPI and its REIL were also on and off in the

same time. At about 18:05, the navaid maintenance staffs came to the

runway and confirmed the light status, the records are as shown in

Appendix 6-3 .

17

Figure 1.10-9 Runway 20 PAPI and REIL status records

The navaid maintenance station provided the maintenance records that

shows the information of CCR (Constant Current Regulator) and

inspection records, as shown in Appendix 6-4. According to the interview

record of navaid maintenance staffs, the written electric current value was

5.04 ampere for runway edge light and 4.99 ampere for PAPI and REIL at

21:30. The corresponding intensity levels were both four.

The control panel of runway lights in the tower could be turned on/off and

light intensity would be adjusted by different groups including: Runway 02

approach lights, Runway 02 approach sequence flash lights, Runway 02

PAPI, Runway 20 PAPI with REIL, runway distance remaining sign lights,

aeronautical beacon(Rotation lights), runway edge lights with

threshold/end lights, taxiway edge lights A and taxiway edge lights B as

show in Figure 1.10-10.

1.10.5 Airport obstacle limitation surfaces

Referred to AIP of Taipei FIR, there are published approach surface,

transitional surface, inner horizontal surface and conical surface. The

approach surface divergence for each side is 15°, 3,000 meters long with

slope 2%(1:50) for the first section. The transitional slope is 14.3%

(1:7);the published inner horizontal height is 218.8 feet, radius 4

kilometers in the center of the runway reference point the slope of conical

is 5% (1:20), as shown in Figure 1.10-12 obstacle limitation surface type A

and Figure 1.10-13 obstacle limitation surface type B .

According to "Magong Airport restriction area and obstacle clearance

operation guidance", the inner edge of the approach surface is located at

the end of clearway (300 meters from threshold). The inner horizontal

surface is 60 meters in height, centered around the runway central point.

surface) on the impacted bush area is 129 ft. The height of announced

obstacle surface (located at the inner horizontal surface) at the impacted

building area is 251 ft.

1.10.6 Information from Airport CCTV

Airport CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television, referred to Attachment 6-9)

provided some surveillance information include:

1. On or Off for the runway edge lights and the runway threshold lights;

2. Comparison of visibility in the airport;

3. Airport fire engine activities.

The investigation team requested copies of No.07 and No.09 airport

surveillance videos. Their locations and shooting direction are shown in

Figure 1.10-14. Their recorded time period was from 18:30-19:30, July 23.

(Tower time was 90 seconds faster than airport surveillance videos)

The photos excerpted from No.7 and No.9 videos are shown in Appendix

6-5 and 6-06. After reviewing these videos, the investigation team

concluded some observation from these two videos.

18:30-18:58 Raining, runway edge lights and tower were visible;

18:58-19:03 Storm suddenly became heavier accompanied with

continuous lightning, runway edge lights were not visible;

19:03-19:10 The worst visibility, any objects would not be recognized;

19:13-19:30 The airport fire engines were dispatched to the runway. The

storm became lighter, some runway edge lights would be

resolved.

Appendix 6-2 ICAO regulations regarding airport lighting systems

1. ICAO Annex14:

5.3.4 Approach lighting systems

...B.— Non-precision approach runway

Where physically practicable, a simple approach lighting system as specified

in 5.3.4.2 to 5.3.4.9 shall be provided to serve a non-precision approach

runway, except when the runway is used only in conditions of good visibility

or sufficient guidance is provided by other visual aids.

Note.— It is advisable to give consideration to the installation of a precision

approach category I lighting system or to the addition of a runway lead-in

lighting system....

Simple approach lighting system

Location

5.3.4.2 A simple approach lighting system shall consist of a row of lights on the

extended centre line of the runway extending, whenever possible, over a

distance of not less than 420 m from the threshold with a row of lights

forming a crossbar 18 m or 30 m in length at a distance of 300 m from the

threshold.

5.3.4.3 The lights forming the crossbar shall be as nearly as practicable in a

horizontal straight line at right angles to, and bisected by, the line of the

centre line lights. The lights of the crossbar shall be spaced so as to produce

a linear effect, except that, when a crossbar of 30 m is used, gaps may be left

on each side of the centre line. These gaps shall be kept to a minimum to meet

local requirements and each shall not exceed 6 m.

Note 1.— Spacings for the crossbar lights between 1 m and 4 m are in use.

Gaps on each side of the centre line may improve directional guidance when

approaches are made with a lateral error, and facilitate the movement of

rescue and fire fighting vehicles.

Note 2.— See Attachment A, Section 11, for guidance on installation

tolerances.

5.3.4.4 The lights forming the centre line shall be placed at longitudinal intervals of

60 m, except that, when it is desired to improve the guidance, an interval of 30

m may be used. The innermost light shall be located either 60 m or 30 m from

the threshold, depending on the longitudinal interval selected for the centre

line lights.

5.3.4.5 Recommendation.— If it is not physically possible to provide a centre line

26

extending for a distance of 420 m from the threshold, it should be extended to

300 m so as to include the crossbar. If this is not possible, the centre line

lights should be extended as far as practicable, and each centre line light

should then consist of a barrette at least 3 m in length. Subject to the

approach system having a crossbar at 300 m from the threshold, an additional

crossbar may be provided at150 m from the threshold.

5.3.4.6 The system shall lie as nearly as practicable in the horizontal plane passing

through the threshold, provided that:

a) no object other than an ILS or MLS azimuth antenna shall protrude

through the plane of the approach lights within a distance of 60 m from the

centre line of the system; and

b) no light other than a light located within the central part of a crossbar or a

centre line barrette (not their extremities) shall be screened from an

approaching aircraft.

Any ILS or MLS azimuth antenna protruding through the plane of the lights

shall be treated as an obstacle and marked and lighted accordingly.

Characteristics

5.3.4.7 The lights of a simple approach lighting system shall be fixed lights and the

colour of the lights shall be such as to ensure that the system is readily

distinguishable from other aeronautical ground lights, and from extraneous

lighting if present. Each centre line light shall consist of either:

a) a single source; or

b) a barrette at least 3 m in length.

Note 1.— When the barrette as in b) is composed of lights approximating to

point sources, a spacing of 1.5 m between adjacent lights in the barrette has

been found satisfactory.

Note 2.— It may be advisable to use barrettes 4 m in length if it is anticipated

that the simple approach lighting system will be developed into a precision

approach lighting system.

Note 3.— At locations where identification of the simple approach lighting

system is difficult at night due to surrounding lights, sequence flashing lights

installed in the outer portion of the system may resolve this problem.

5.3.8 Runway threshold identification lights

Application

5.3.8.1 Recommendation.— Runway threshold identification lights should be

installed:

a) at the threshold of a non-precision approach runway when additional

27

threshold conspicuity is necessary or where it is not practicable to provide

other approach lighting aids; and

b) where a runway threshold is permanently displaced from the runway

extremity or temporarily displaced from the normal position and additional

threshold conspicuity is necessary.

Location

5.3.8.2 Runway threshold identification lights shall be located symmetrically about

the runway centre line, in line with the threshold and approximately 10 m

outside each line of runway edge lights.

Characteristics

5.3.8.3 Recommendation.— Runway threshold identification lights should be flashing

white lights with a flash frequency between 60 and 120 per minute.

5.3.8.4 The lights shall be visible only in the direction of approach to the runway.
