During the final approach completed by night, the pilot did not realize his altitude was insufficient when the three engine airplane hit a sand dune located few dozen yards short of runway. On impact, the undercarriage were torn off and the aircraft crash landed on its belly and came to rest. While all three crew members were unhurt, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was performing a local training flight at Rome-Centocelle Airport. On final, he decided to make a go around because another small plane was approaching the same airport. Doing so, the three engine aircraft stalled and crashed in a sandy area short of runway and eventually collided with a dyke. Both pilots were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While approaching Rome-Urbe Airport, the aircraft suffered engine problems. The crew attempted to make an emergency landing in a wasteland. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The three engine aircraft was completing a charter flight from Lisbon to Torino with an intermediate stop in Barcelona, carrying the Torino AC soccer team and its staff back to Torino after a friendly match in Portugal. The airplane left Lisbon at 0952LT and Barcelona Airport at 1315LT. After an uneventful flight, the crew started the descent to Torino-Aeritalia Airport in poor weather conditions with clouds down to 400 meters and an horizontal visibility estimated at 1,200 meters. Due to the poor visibility, the pilot did not realize he was flying to low when the aircraft hit the Mt Superga (675 meters high) and crashed on the east wall of the basilica, about 12 km from the runway 28 threshold. The aircraft was destroyed by impact forces and all 31 occupants were killed.

The crew was engaged in a test flight. Shortly after takeoff from Guidonia AFB, the pilot encountered control problems and decided to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft belly landed in a field located in Tor Sapienza, about 15 km southwest of Guidonia. On ground, the aircraft slid for several yards and hit a boy aged 11. While all five crew members were uninjured, the boy was killed and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

On approach to Brussels-Zaventem Airport, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with heavy rain falls, low visibility and a ceiling at 100 meters. In such conditions, the captain overshot the runway in Zaventem and was unable to land. He increased power on all three engines and continued to the northeast. Few minutes later, he decided to land on a makeshift airfield in Keerbergen but during the last turn to the left, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a field. Three passengers and a crew member survived while all eight other occupants were killed.
