Airport (less than 10 km from airport)

Following a cargo flight from Juba, the airplane crashed upon landing at Malakal Airport. It veered off runway and eventually collided with a parked MD-82 registered 5Y-AXL that suffered an accident at the same airport last February 9. The airplane was destroyed and all seven occupants were rescued.

On final approach to Truckee-Tahoe Airport runway 20 in marginal weather conditions, it is believed that the pilot initiated a go around procedure. While climbing to an altitude of 7,200 feet, control was lost. The airplane entered a dive and crashed in a snow covered forest located near the airport, bursting into flames. Both occupants, Liron and Naomi Petrushka, were killed. At the time of the accident, visibility was limited due to snow showers.

The airplane departed Juba Airport at 0618LT on a flight to Yida on behalf of the South Sudan Air Force (aka SSPDF-South Sudan People’s Defense Forces) with three passengers and a crew of four on board. The approach to Yida Airfield was initiated in limited visibility due to haze and fog. Upon landing on a dirt runway, the airplane suffered an apparent collapse of the left main gear, went out of control and came to rest, bursting into flames. All seven occupants were rescued, among them three were slightly injured. The airplane was totally destroyed by fire.

In unclear circumstances, the twin engine airplane crashed upon landing at Butembo Airfield and came to rest nearby the runway. At least two occupants were injured and evacuated to local hospital. The airplane was damaged beyond repair.

After takeoff from Ivanovo-Severny AFB, while climbing, the engine n°4 caught fire. The crew decided to return to the base and initiated a circuit in a slight right bank attitude. Few dozen seconds after departure, the engine n°4 detached. The airplane later entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in a wooded area, bursting into flames. All 16 occupants were killed. The crew was en route to the airbase of Plessetsk, Arkhangelsk oblast.

The airplane departed Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Runway 28R at 1346LT with five people on board. It continued to the north at FL390 then successively descended to FL370 and FL330 when the crew encountered an unexpected situation and elected to divert to Hot Springs-Ingalls Field, Virginia. On final approach, the airplane went out of control and crashed in a wooded area located few km short of runway 25. The airplane was totally destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire and all five occupants were killed, among them one child.

After takeoff from runway 31 at Belo Horizonte-Pampulha-Carlos Drummond de Andrade Airport, the single engine airplane followed a steep climb then entered a right turn when it started to lose altitude. It continued in a right turn descent configuration, apparently to reach runway 13, when it rolled to the left, impacted the ground and crashed in a grassy area located south of runway 13 threshold, bursting into flames. The passenger, a technician external to the Police Department, was injured while both pilots were killed. The airplane was totally destroyed by a post impact fire.

The single engine airplane departed Grenchen Airport on a local skydiving mission, carrying 11 skydivers and one pilot. After all skydivers left the airplane, the pilot was returning to his base when he lost control of the airplane that entered a dive and crashed in a grassy area located in the vicinity of the airport. The airplane was totally destroyed and the pilot was killed. All 11 skydivers landed safely.
