About 1450, Alaska standard time, on December 4, 1978, Gates Learjet N77RS crashed alongside runway 06R at the Anchorage International Airport. The accident occurred during the landing phase following a visual approach. The aircraft was destroyed. The flight path was normal almost to touchdown when the aircraft suddenly pitched up and began to bank steeply from side to side. The aircraft rolled to the right and continued over until the right wing struck the ground. Both pilots and three passengers were killed; two passengers survived. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was an encounter with strong, gusting crosswinds during the landing attempt, which caused the aircraft to roll abruptly and unexpectedly. The ensuring loss of control resulted from inappropriate pilot techniques during the attempt to regain control of the aircraft.
