Initially at <a href="/wiki/Flight_level" title="Flight level">flight level</a> (FL) 110 (about 11,000 ft (3,400 m)), <i>Dan-Air 1008</i> was then cleared to descend to FL 60 (about 6,000 ft (1,800 m)). The crew reported overhead 'TFN' and was requested to join a nonstandard holding pattern over the 'FP' beacon. This holding pattern was not a published procedure and the crew did not have a chart for it, but the instruction was accepted. In fact, the aircraft did not pass over 'FP', but instead flew to the south of the beacon and called "entering the hold". About a minute later, they were cleared to descend to 5,000 ft (1,500 m). </p><p>Although the <a href="/wiki/Pilot_in_command" title="Pilot in command">pilot in command</a> had said he was entering the hold according to the Spanish <a href="/wiki/Air_traffic_controller" title="Air traffic controller">air traffic controller</a>'s instructions, he actually turned the aircraft to the left towards the southeast into an area of high ground, where the minimum safe altitude was 14,500 ft (4,400 m). When during the <a href="/wiki/Descent_(aircraft)" class="mw-redirect" title="Descent (aircraft)">aircraft's descent</a> towards 5,000 ft (1,500 m) the <a href="/wiki/Ground_proximity_warning_system" title="Ground proximity warning system">ground proximity warning system</a> (GPWS) activated, the crew reacted quickly and initiated a climb.

These were practically unflyable, making entry into the region of high ground inevitable for an aircraft flying this track, even without the <a href="/wiki/Pilot_error" title="Pilot error">navigational errors</a> made by Dan-Air 1008.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page: 31">: 31 </span></sup> Further, the addendum found that the directed altitude of 5,000 ft (1,500 m) was inadequate for this holding pattern, and that the minimum altitude for entry into the holding pattern should have been 8,000 ft (2,400 m) (with a minimum altitude of 7,000 feet (2,100 m) for the pattern itself), had a minimum safe altitude calculation been performed ahead of time by a competent authority. The addendum concluded that the accident would not have occurred if the aircraft had not been cleared below 7,000 ft (2,100 m).<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page: 30">: 30 </span></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Memorial_in_Southern_Cemetery,_Manchester"><span id="Memorial_in_Southern_Cemetery.2C_Manchester"></span>Memorial in Southern Cemetery, Manchester</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Dan-Air_Flight_1008&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Memorial in Southern Cemetery, Manchester"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Tenerife_Dan-Air_Disaster_memorial.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Tenerife_Dan-Air_Disaster_memorial.jpg/250px-Tenerife_Dan-Air_Disaster_memorial.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Tenerife_Dan-Air_Disaster_memorial.jpg/330px-Tenerife_Dan-Air_Disaster_memorial.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Tenerife_Dan-Air_Disaster_memorial.jpg/500px-Tenerife_Dan-Air_Disaster_memorial.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1536" /></a><figcaption>Memorial to victims of Flight 1008</figcaption></figure> <p>A memorial in <a href="/wiki/Southern_Cemetery,_Manchester" title="Southern Cemetery, Manchester">Southern Cemetery, Manchester</a> commemorates the victims of the disaster, whose names are inscribed on a series of slate tablets within a small grassed enclosure.
