Beechcraft 90 King Air

On final approach to Roboré Airfield, the twin engine aircraft became unstable and started to roll left and right. The pilot continued the approach when the aircraft landed left main gear first. Upon impact, the left main gear collapsed and the aircraft veered off runway and came to rest. All eight occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The pilot and 2 nurses departed IFR to transport a patient from another location. During the initial climb, the pilot observed a gear unsafe light. He requested clearance to an area of VFR conditions to address the gear problem. Subsequently, the gear was manually extended with safe gear indications. The flight department requested that the pilot return to base. The pilot obtained an IFR clearance to return for an ILS approach. After handoff to the tower, he was requested to report the FAF inbound after an eastbound procedure turn. That was the last communication from the pilot. Subsequently, the aircraft crashed on the southeast side of Humphreys Peak at an elevation of about 10,500 feet and about 10 miles west of the final approach course. Wreckage was scattered along a heading of 230 degrees. There was evidence that the airplane was in a steep descent when it crashed. Radar data revealed an outbound track west of the published course and no procedure turn. The weather was IMC with light snow and rain. Moderate to severe turbulence was forecast and confirmed by other pilots. The winds at 10,000 feet were forecast to be 50 knots out of the southwest. Moderate turbulence and light rime ice had been reported along the ILS approach course before to the accident time.

The twin engine aircraft was completing a flight from La Carlota to the El Libertador AFB in Maracay on behalf of the National Institute for Cooperation and Education. Shortly after takeoff from La Carlota-General Francisco de Miranda AFB, while climbing, the aircraft rolled to the right, lost height and crashed, bursting into flames. All seven occupants were killed.

The pilot obtained a weather briefing, filed an IFR flight plan, and took off at night on a flight from Hot Springs, Arkansas, to Pueblo, Colorado. About one minute later, he advised air traffic control that he needed to return to Hot Springs. He then contacted the airplane operator and said the heater was not working. The operator suggested that he return for repairs. The pilot was then heard to say, 'oh, shoot!' No further radio transmissions were received from the flight. The airplane cut a 400 foot swath through trees, and the wreckage path measured 940 feet. With exception of a heater problem, no pre impact mechanical failure was evident. Both occupants were killed.

The twin engine aircraft was completing a charter flight from Toussus-le-Noble and back with stops scheduled in Nantes, Tours and Saumur. While approaching Saumur-Saint Florent Airport runway 10, the pilot informed ATC he preferred to perform a visual approach to runway 28 due to local patches of stratus west of the airfield. On short final to runway 28, the aircraft adopted a high rate of descent then struck the runway surface and came to rest on its left side, bursting into flames. The aircraft was destroyed and all seven occupants were killed, among them six directors of the French food Group Leclerc.

The twin engine aircraft was engaged in a survey flight over the region of Ajaccio under call sign 'Bengale 97', carrying one pilot and one fireman. Shortly after takeoff from Ajaccio-Campo dell'Oro Airport runway 20, while in initial climb, the pilot retracted the landing gear when the left engine failed. He initiated a left hand turn to return to runway 20 when the aircraft stalled and crashed on a the beach of Capitello about 500 metres southeast of the runway end, bursting into flames. Both occupants and a girl aged 13 were killed while four other people were seriously injured. Few days later, two of them, German tourists, died from their injuries.

During the takeoff roll, at a speed of 80 knots, the twin engine aircraft deviated to the right then veered off runway and came to a halt. All 11 occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Shortly after takeoff from Mindelheim-Mattsies Airport, while in initial climb, the pilot informed ATC about problems and elected to return. While completing a sharp turn to the right at a relative low altitude, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a field located less than 2 km from the airfield. The aircraft was destroyed and the pilot, sole on board, was killed. The aircraft was operated by Burkhart Grob Luft-und-Raumfahrt later renamed Grob Aerospace.

En route from Los Roques to Caracas, the crew encountered engine problems and declared an emergency. He was cleared to divert to Caracas-Maiquetía-Simón Bolívar Airport. Upon landing, the crew encountered strong cross winds and the twin engine aircraft went out of control and crashed in a drainage ditch located 45 metres from the runway. Both pilots were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

The pilot, sole on board, was completing a ferry flight from Germany to the US via Lisbon and the Azores Islands. While cruising at FL130 off Martigues, smoke spread in the cockpit. The pilot started en emergency descent and eventually ditched the aircraft in the Gulf of Lion off Marseille. The pilot was rescued while the aircraft sank and was lost.
