History

Historical Context

On 27 March 1977 dense fog at Los Rodeos Airport caused KLM Flight 4805 to take off while Pan Am Flight 1736 was still on the runway, killing 583 people. Spanish and Dutch investigators later emphasized communication errors. The tragedy forced worldwide adoption of standardized radio phraseology and crew-resource-management training, reshaping airline safety culture for decades.
