LOT Polish Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 jet plane SP-LVB taking off from London Heathrow Airport. Troubled 737 Max design, inherited crash registration
Boeing 737 Max SP-LVB inherited registration number from crashed plane with 1962 LOT Vickers Viscount Warsaw crash occurred on 19 December 1962 when Vickers Viscount 804 SP-LVB, operated by LOT Polish Airlines on a flight from Brussels to Warsaw, crashed on landing. All passengers and crew plane was returning from Brussels, and had a mid-way landing in Berlin from where it took off at 5:55 pm. While on approach on runway 33 in Warsaw at 7:30 pm the crew received landing clearance. 46 seconds later the plane crashed and burned 1335 meters from the 33 people aboard died – the crew of 5 and 28 of the probable causes of stalling due to low speed was attributed to turboprop engines features which change the propellers pitch during acceleration. Hence sudden throttle increase is not recommended. Such a maneuver was probably executed by the Captain who was accustomed to flying piston engine aircraft in which such maneuvers are allowed. The Vickers Viscount 804 was one of three recently bought from British United Airways in England. On LOT's roster the airliner had logged only 84 flight hours.
