Quote: The report confirms there was a fire, as communicated to UAE Air Traffic Centre by Bahrain's air traffic control (ATC). The UPS Boeing 747-400 departed from Dubai International Airport at 6.53pm headed for Cologne/Bonn airport in Germany. At 7.15pm, ATC in Bahrain informed UAE ATC that the aircraft was returning to Dubai airport because the pilots were not able to maintain altitude or control a fire that had broken out in the cockpit. UAE ATC issued a clearance for landing when the aircraft was approximately 40 kilometres out. The clearance was issued for both Dubai International Airport and Sharjah International Airport, Al Suwaidi previously told Gulf News. According to the report, the aircraft came in too high to land, passed over the runway and made a right turn. UAE ATC told the pilots that all runways had been cleared and were available, but the aircraft was seen travelling southwest and losing altitude. At 7.42pm, radar contact was lost. The B744 subsequently crashed at the Nad Al Sheba military camp between Emirates Road and Al Ain Road, the report added.
