Beechcraft 200 Super King Air

The pilot, sole on board, was completing a positioning flight from Teesside to Leeds where passengers should embark for Alicante, Spain. On approach, the visibility was poor due to low clouds. After being cleared to descend to 3,000 feet then to land on runway 14, the aircraft descended too low and crashed on the top of a hill located 3,4 km short of runway threshold. The pilot was killed.

The twin engine aircraft departed Southend Airport on a cargo flight to Bergamo, carrying newspapers and magazines. Two minutes and 30 seconds after liftoff, while climbing in limited visibility due to the night and low clouds, the airplane entered a dive and crashed on a garage, bursting into flames. The pilot, sole on board, was killed.

While on an instrument flight plan in IMC, the flight was cleared for an instrument approach to the South Lake Tahoe Airport, the intended destination. The aircraft departed the initial approach fix on the published transition to the final approach course. Radar contact was lost at 11,400 feet. Afterward, the aircraft was observed descending out of clouds and maneuvering erratically in VMC until it impacted terrain with no apparent attempt to recover. Medical records revealed pilot had a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and recent loss of 41 pounds on a rigid weight loss program. The autopsy revealed severe arteriosclerosis. Medical records indicated the pilot had been taking diazide intermittently for several years. Post-accident tox results were negative. The circumstances of the accident, in combination with the pilot's severe diet, medical history, and postmortem examination results support the conclusion that the pilot became incapacitated in flight. All four occupants were killed.

The aircraft struck a 2-feet high Avgas pump while the pilot was taxiing around another aircraft that was parked. The nose gear collapsed and a small fire resulted. The pilot and passenger evacuated the aircraft. Line personnel were unable to extinguish the fire with hand-held extinguishers. The aircraft was subsequently engulfed by the fire and was destroyed. A large dry chemical fire extinguisher was located next to the pump at the time, but line personnel were unable to get to it due to the fire. The black top around the pump had recently been resurfaced and no safety markings, lights or barricades were in place around the pump (except for the large fire extinguisher). The pump was originally located next to the ramp edge, but subsequent expansion of the ramp left the pump surrounded by pavement.

The pilot obtained a weather briefing for his proposed flight from Birmingham, AL to Jasper, AL to Allentown, PA. He did not file a flight plan for the 35 mile flight from Birmingham to Jasper, however, he did file a flight plan for the proposed flight from Jasper to Allentown. He stated that he 'felt like he got a little slow and the tail stalled' during his VFR landing approach at Jasper. The aircraft contacted the ground at the east end of the east-west runway on a northerly track. The aircraft continued on the northerly track for 288 feet before colliding with trees. The aircraft was destroyed by the post crash fire. Witnesses reported fog in the area and the pilot reported that he had encountered patches of fog on the flight from Birmingham.

The crew (two instructeurs and three student pilots) departed Johannesburg-Rand Airport for a local training flight. After takeoff, while in initial climb, an instructor simulated an engine failure. The aircraft stalled and crashed on dorms located near the airport and dedicated to the Germiston Mining employees. Three crew members were killed while two others were injured. There were no casualties on the ground.

The twin engine aircraft registered JA8825 (MA825) departed Fukuoka Airport on a maritime patrol flight off the prefecture of Nagasaki. Shortly after takeoff, while climbing, the crew encountered poor visibility and low clouds when the airplane struck the slope of Mt Tachizawa located south of Fukuoka. The aircraft was destroyed upon impact and all five occupants were killed.

While approaching Fort McMurray Airport, the twin engine airplane struck tree tops and crashed in a wooded area located 11 km southeast of the airfield. All four occupants were seriously injured.

The crew (two instructors and two student pilots) were engaged in a local training flight at Casablanca-Nouasseur Airport. The accident occurred in unknown circumstances, killing all four occupants.

Stolen at Tomball Airport, Texas, then crashed in unknown circumstances somewhere in North Mexico while engaged in an illegal mission. Occupant fate unknown.
