Cessna 402

On approach to San Pedro Airport runway 06, the aircraft was number 2 for landing. A Cessna 207, V3-HER was ahead and had broadcast its intention to land. A Tropic Air Twin Otter, call sign Tango Alfa, on the ground, requested that N402BL go around to allow Tango Alfa to takeoff because the ramp was full. N402BL acknowledged and was seen making a left turn with wheels down. No further communication was heard from N402BL. The aircraft was seen flying very low with wheels down and flaps down in a southerly direction and as it crossed the shoreline south of the airstrip the aircraft made a sharp left turn and crashed into the sea about 200 yards from the beach at approximately 1500 hours. The aircraft struck nose first then righted itself and sank in water about five feet deep. There was no fire. Boats in the vicinity reached the accident site within a few minutes and reported that all eight occupants were dead inside the aircraft.

Crashed on approach to Treasure Cay Airport, killing all five occupants.

The twin engine aircraft was completing a charter flight from Nordhorn to Hassfurt, Bavaria, carrying six passengers and one pilot. After passing the local VOR, the pilot started the descent to Hassfurt-Schweinfurt Airport. In poor visibility due to foggy conditions, the aircraft struck a hill located in Bischofsheim, about 53 km northwest of Hassfurt Airport. A passenger was seriously injured while six other occupants were killed.

Crashed on approach to Rønne Airport for unknown reasons. The pilot, sole on board, was killed.

The twin engine aircraft departed Santo Domingo-Herrera Airport on a short flight to Santo Domingo-La Américas Airport, carrying one passenger and one pilot. En route, both engines failed and the aircraft crashed in the sea few dozen meters offshore. The passenger was rescued while the pilot was killed.

While cruising in bad weather conditions, the twin engine aircraft struck the slope of a mountain located in the region of Ayacucho. As the aircraft failed to arrive at destination, SAR operations were initiated but suspended few days later as no trace was found. Walkers found the wreckage in an isolated area on 28 August 1990.

During a scheduled cargo flight, the pilot diverted from the normal route and travelled through mountainous terrain. The radar plot indicated that the airplane was in a gradual climbing left turn when the collision occurred. The weather in the area at the time of the accident reported snow showers in the mountainous area. The pilot, sole on board, was killed.

The on-demand air taxi airplane collided with trees and terrain during a third attempt at an ILS approach. The airplane crashed approximately two miles beyond the airport on the extended centerline of the landing runway. In an interview the pilot related that on his first approach to the airport he saw the runway and observed vehicles on the taxiway as he performed his missed approach. When he was asked the reason for the second missed approach he said it was because of instrument fluctuations on his course direction indicator. During this period he asked that the lights be set to high intensity because he could not see them. The lights were verified as being set for high intensity. He did not remember anything of the third approach after he passed the outer marker. Snow removal operations were in progress during the period the accident airplane was making approaches to the airport.

The pilot received numerous weather briefings/updates before takeoff, which included two pilot reports of windshear by aircraft on the approach into Appleton. Shortly after takeoff convective sigmet 1E was transmitted by the radar controller on the same frequency he was working N87163. This sigmet called for embedded thunderstorms. About 10 minutes later, while being vectored for the approach into Appleton, the pilot was given heading deviations because of weather. The aircraft crashed 1/2 mile from the approach end of the runway. A witness whose residence is located between the OM and MM for the ILS approach reported a 'huge downpour' with 'very strong winds' at the time of the accident. Wreckage examination revealed that all power controls for both engines were in the full forward position, and that the left and right main landing gear mounting trunnions were displaced upward into the wing fuel tanks. The pilot, sole on board, was killed.

Five minutes after takeoff from Manzanillo Airport, while climbing by night, the twin engine aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in the sea few hundred meters offshore. The wreckage sank by a depth of 80 meters and all seven occupants were killed, among them five police officers who were returning to Mexico City. The flight was completed on behalf of the Attorney General of the Republic.
