The report contains the analysis, findings and recommendations as determined by the National Transportation Safety Board, applicable to a Boeing 707's crash during a simulated three-engine, missed approach. The flight originated at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), New York, New York, for the purpose of providing recurrent training of three TWA captains in accordance with the provisions of Part 121 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. The required training and proficiency check maneuvers were to be accomplished at the NAFEC/Atlantic City Airport at Pomona, New Jersey. One of the required proficiency check maneuvers included a simulated instrument approach and the execution of the missed-approach procedure, with a critical engine reduced to training idle in order to also simulate engine failure. While this simulated approach was in process, and after the landing gear and full flaps had been extended, fatigue failure of the left outboard spoiler actuator downline caused the loss of hydraulic fluid from the aircraft's utility hydraulic system.
