On February 7, 2006, the flight crew of a Douglas DC-8-71F, N748UP, operated by United Parcel Service (UPS) as flight 1307, conducted an emergency landing on runway 27R at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, after reporting a cargo smoke indication. Air traffic control (ATC) initially cleared the flight to land on runway 27R; however, in accordance with emergency procedures at PHL, ATC changed the clearance to runway 27L after the flight crew reported the emergency. Although the pilot acknowledged the change in landing clearance, he continued for runway 27R. The controller ultimately cleared the flight to land on runway 27R when it was apparent that the flight crew had not understood the change in landing clearance. A fire erupted on board after landing, causing substantial damage to the airplane and numerous cargo containers. The three flight crewmembers were able to evacuate the airplane using the L1 slide and received minor injuries. Night visual meteorological conditions prevailed and an instrument flight rules flight plan had been filed for the flight from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Atlanta, Georgia, to PHL. The scheduled cargo flight was conducted under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121.
