Fokker F27 Friendship

The aircraft was completing a special flight on behalf of the Libyan Red Crescent. On approach, the crew was instructed to follow a holding circuit of 40 minutes because a landing was not possible due to poor weather conditions. When the circuit was completed, the crew initiated the approach but the visibility was still poor as the weather did not improve. The aircraft landed hard, causing the left main gear to collapse. The left wing struck the ground and was torn off till the engine. Out of control, the aircraft veered off runway to the left and came to rest, bursting into flames. All five occupants were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

The crew departed Cologne-Bonn Airport at 1248LT on a local training mission. While simulating stalls at a relative low altitude, the crew encountered technical problems with both engines which overheated. After the left engine caught fire, the crew decided to attempt an emergency landing in an open field when the left engine separated. The aircraft lost height and crashed near Bergisch Gladbach, about 13 km north of Cologne Airport, bursting into flames. Both pilots were seriously injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

The aircraft crashed in unknown circumstances in the region of San Pablo. At least 20 occupants were killed while 18 others were injured.

The aircraft departed São Paulo-Congonhas Airport on a domestic schedule flight to Araçatuba with an intermediate stop in Bauru. The pilot-in-command was a captain under training, accompanied by an instructor and a third pilot. Because the Brasilia ARTCC frequency was congested, the crew was cleared to initiate the descent from FL140 at a distance of 50 km from Bauru Airport instead of the standard 74 km. This caused the aircraft to approach at an excessive speed and as the captain estimated the situation as unsafe, he prefered to initiate a go-around but the instructor decided to continue. Due to a lack of coordination between the captain and the instructor, it was not clear who would perform the landing but finally, the instructor took over control. Following a rate of descent of 2,500 feet per minute, the aircraft landed at a speed of 130 knots some 775 meters past the runway 32 threshold. After touchdown, the aircraft floated, causing the left and right main gear to land alternatingly. The instructor realized that he would not be able to stop the aircraft within the remaining distance so he decided to initiate a go-around procedure and added full power. As this was against the published procedure and due to a lack of sufficient air in the engine in combination with a high angle of attack, the aircraft stalled after the engine failed to develop enough power. The aircraft crashed 600 meters past the runway end, struck vehicles and houses and came to rest in flames. One of the pilot and two people in car were killed. All other occupants were rescued, among them three were seriously injured. The aircraft was destroyed.

The twin engine aircraft, departed Aubenas-Vals-Lanas Airport on a firefighting mission on behalf of the French Sécurité Civile. While approaching the zone under fire at low height, the aircraft struck the ground and exploded. The aircraft was destroyed and both pilots were killed.

Nine minutes after takeoff from Gilgit Airport, while flying in poor weather conditions, the aircraft struck the slope of a mountain located near Bunji, about 40 km southeast of Gilgit. The wreckage was found in an isolated area few hours later and all 54 occupants were killed.

Ten minutes after takeoff from Hargeisa Airport, while climbing, the twin engine aircraft went out of control, entered a dive and crashed in a desert area. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and all 30 occupants were killed.

After takeoff from Zillah Airport, while climbing, the crew encountered vibration on the left engine and decided to return for a safe landing. Unable to maintain a safe altitude, the aircraft crash landed in a desert area located few km from the airport. All 39 occupants were evacuated, among them nine passengers were injured. The aircraft was written off.

After touchdown on runway 01 at Laoag Airport, the aircraft encountered difficulties to stop within the remaining distance, overran and came to rest in the Padsan River. There were no casualties.

Just after takeoff from runway 03 at Yangon-Mingaladon Airport, the aircraft banked left then struck a tree located about 150 meters past the end of the runway. It descended and crashed in a nose-down attitude of 3°, bursting into flames. Three occupants were injured while 26 others were killed. At the time of the accident, the visibility was poor due to thick fog.
