The report describes a crash landing in which three Delta pilots and a Federal Aviation Administration air carrier operations inspector, the only occupants, were killed. The aircraft was destroyed by impact and fire. The landing approach was conducted following a McDonnell Douglas DC-10 which made a touch and go landing ahead of the DC-9. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the accident was an encounter with a trailing vortex generated by a preceding heavy jet which resulted in an involuntary loss of control of the airplane during the final approach.
