La Ceiba-Goloson

During the takeoff roll at La Ceiba-Goloson Airport, a tyre burst. The pilot rejected takeoff but the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran and came to rest 116 metres further. All nine passengers escaped uninjured while the pilot was seriously injured. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew departed La Ceiba-Goloson Airport on a flight to Costa Rica. Six minutes after takeoff, several radio contacts were made with ATC when radar contact was lost. SAR operations were conducted on a large area but all operations were suspended after few days as no trace of the aircraft nor both occupants was found. It is believed that the airplane probably crashed in a dense jungle area.

After takeoff from La Ceiba-Goloson Airport, while in initial climb, the right engine failed. The crew was cleared for an emergency landing and initiated a circuit to return. At low height, one of the wing struck the roof of a house and the airplane crashed on a road. All 17 occupants were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Few minutes after takeoff from La Ceiba-Goloson Airport, while climbing, the aircraft collided with a bird that struck the right engine. The crew decided to return to La Ceiba for an emergency landing when the right engine caught fire and detached. On final, the aircraft went out of control and crashed on a soccer field. All 12 occupants were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

During the takeoff roll at La Ceiba-Goloson Airport, the twin engine aircraft struck a rut in the ground. The crew heard a loud bang when the rotation was completed shortly later. During initial climb, the crew informed ATC about the situation and was cleared to return for an emergency landing. On touchdown, the nose gear collapsed and the aircraft slid on its nose for few dozen metres before coming to rest. All 11 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Just after liftoff from runway 06, while in initial climb, the crew raised the landing gear and reduced the engine power. The aircraft stalled and sank back on the runway, slid for about 450 metres and came to rest. All 21 occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Following an uneventful flight from La Ceiba, the pilot initiated the approach to Palacios Airport. On final, the aircraft was too high and descended too fast. It landed too far down the grassy runway, about two third of its length, and was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran and collided with a building located 65 metres further. All five occupants escaped with minor injuries and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

On final approach to Útila Airport runway 25, the crew was blinded by the low sun position and failed to realize his altitude was insufficient. The aircraft struck the water surface and crashed in the sea about 50 meters offshore and less than 300 meters short of runway 25 threshold. All 20 occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While cruising in poor weather conditions, the twin engine aircraft went out of control and crashed in a field near Yoro. All seven occupants were killed.

While on a flight from La Ceiba to Tegucigalpa, the airplane impacted the slope of a mountain located near La Masica, 29 km southwest of La Ceiba. As the airplane failed to arrive at destination, SAR operations were initiated but eventually suspended few days later as no trace of the airplane nor the crew was found. The wreckage was spotted in March 1999 near the La Masica Pass.
