Circumstances:

During the takeoff roll from runway 25 at Quito-Mariscal Sucre Airport, the crew noted a fire alarm connected to the forward cargo compartment. The captain decided to abandon the takeoff procedure and initiated an emergency braking manoeuvre. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the aircraft overran, collided with the ILS antenna, went down an embankment then impacted a brick wall and came to rest 300 metres past the runway end. All 66 occupants were rescued, among them eight passengers were injured. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Probable cause:

Failure of the crew to follow the published procedures following a fire alarm, as stated in the Operations Manual and the late application of the procedures once the decision to abort the takeoff was taken.
Contributing factors:
- Complacency on part of the crew who failed to proceed with a pre-takeoff briefing,
- A fact that influenced the lack of appropriate action from the crew to successfully tackle any emergency,
- Lack of crew resources management,
- The braking coefficient was low because the runway surface was wet.

Circumstances:

Following an uneventful flight from Quito, the crew started the approach to Coca Airport runway 15. Too low on final, the aircraft landed 4,5 metres short of runway. Upon impact, the left main gear was torn off. The aircraft rolled for 112 metres then veered off runway to the left, rolled another 263 metres then came to rest against a concrete wall. All 65 occupants were rescued, among them seven passengers were injured. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Probable cause:

It was determined that the crew thought the Coca runway was short. To be able to stop the plane on the runway without excessive use of the brakes, the crew decided to land as early as possible. Doing so, the aircraft landed 4,5 metres short of runway. The published procedure request a minimum altitude of 50 feet over the threshold and the AFM showed a landing distance of 930 metres needed at maximum landing weight considering 42° of flaps, speed brakes out, lift dumpers armed, antiskid operative. Wrong approach procedure on part of the crew.

Total fatalities:

Circumstances:

The flight from Dhaka to Sylhet was delayed for few hours due to poor weather conditions at destination with limited visibility, heavy rain falls, low ceiling and strong winds. Following an uneventful flight, the aircraft landed too far down a wet runway. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, it overran and came to rest in a drainage ditch. 30 passengers were slightly injured while all other occupants escaped unhurt. Both pilots were seriously injured as the cockpit was trapped against an earth wall.

Probable cause:

It was determined that the crew failed to refer to the PAPI's and following a wrong approach configuration, the aircraft landed too far down the runway, reducing the landing distance available. The following contributing factors were reported:
- The ILS system was not properly calibrated, causing the aircraft to land about 900 feet past the runway threshold,
- The aircraft was too high on approach,
- The aircraft' speed at touchdown was 20 knots above the reference speed,
- The braking action was considered as low because the runway surface was wet,
- Aquaplaning,
- The crew failed to initiate a go-around procedure.

Circumstances:

During the takeoff roll on runway 35, at a speed of 125 knots, after a course of 2,110 metres, both tyres on the left main gear burst. The crew rejected the takeoff procedure but the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance (runway 35 is 3,120 metres long). It overran, causing the nose gear to collapse, and came to rest 81 metres further. All 77 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Probable cause:

Lack of a positive actions and reaction on part of the crew following the bursting of both tires on the left main gear, causing the aircraft to overrun the runway.

Circumstances:

The aircraft departed Lima on a regular schedule flight to Chachapoyas with an intermediate stop in Chiclayo, carrying 41 passengers and five crew members. Following an uneventful flight from Chiclayo, the crew started the descent to Chachapoyas Airport in poor weather conditions. The crew maintained several radio contacts with ATC and all seemed to be 'normal' on board when the aircraft struck the slope of Mt Coloque located 15 km from the airport. Due to poor weather conditions and because the crash site was unaccessible, SAR teams arrived on scene two days later. The wreckage was found at an altitude of 3,300 metres. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and all 46 occupants were killed. The occupants were respectively 41 Peruvians, two Belgians, one Dutch, one Spanish and one Cuban.

Probable cause:

It was determined that the accident was the consequence of a controlled flight into terrain after the crew continued the descent in zero visibility after suffering a total loss of situational awareness. The following contributing factors were identified:
- The crew failed to proceed with an approach briefing,
- Overconfidence on part of the flying crew,
- The crew failed to follow the approach checklist,
- The crew failed to comply with the SOP's,
- Poor crew resources management,
- The copilot was tired, stressed and depressive because his father passed away four days prior to the accident,
- The crew was destabilized by a certain pressure from the operator's,
- Poor judgment on part of the flying crew,
- Poor approach planning,
- Inadequate monitoring,
- Poor visual perception,
- Operational complacency,
- The crew was non-compliant with published procedures,
- Disorientation and loss of situational awareness.
