- Date: July 30, 1992
- Aircraft: Lockheed L-1011 TriStar
- Location: New York-JFK, New York, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: A design deficiency let a faulty angle-of-attack sensor trigger a false stall warning. A maintenance program that failed to fix a repeated fault and poor crew coordination during the transfer of control contributed.
TWA Flight 843, an L-1011 bound for San Francisco, received a false stall warning right after liftoff from JFK. The captain took control, rejected the takeoff and landed, then braked hard and left the runway end. The airplane was destroyed by fire after the evacuation, and all 292 occupants survived, 10 of them injured.
