On June 2, 1990, at 0937 Alaskan Daylight Time, MarkAir, Inc., flight 3087, a Boeing 737-2X6C, registered in the US as N67OMA, crashed about 7.5 miles short of runway 14, Unalakleet, Alaska, while executing a localizer approach to that runway. The flight originated at 0828 at Anchorage International Airport, Anchorage, Alaska. Instrument meteorological conditions existed at the time, and the flight was on an IFR flight plan. The captain, the first officer, and a flight attendant sustained minor injuries. Another flight attendant sustained serious injuries. There were no passengers on board, and the airplane was destroyed. The flight was operated under FAR Part 121. The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the probable cause of the accident was deficiencies in flightcrew coordination, their failure to adequately prepare for and properly execute the UNK LOC Rwy 14 nonprecision approach and their subsequent premature descent. The safety issues discussed in the report include cockpit resource management and approach chart symbology.
