The pilot started the approach to Bad Vöslau Airport at dusk and under VFR mode. Due to marginal weather conditions, he was unable to locate the airport then decided to divert to Vienna-Schwechat Airport. He completed a left turn, passed over Baden and continued at an altitude of 2,000 feet when the twin engine aircraft struck a hill and crashed in Gaaden. Both occupants were killed.

En route, the twin engine aircraft struck a mountain located in the Lechtaler Alpen, in the region of Landeck, Tyrol. SAR operations were initiated but the wreckage was found in July 1987 in an isolated area at an altitude of 2,000 meters. The pilot, sole on board, was killed.

After he received the last weather bulletin for Klagenfurt Airport, the pilot was cleared to start the approach to runway 29. Few seconds later, the pilot informed ATC that he lost the signal from the KLU NDB. The signal was again received by the airplane few seconds later and the pilot continued the approach with a rate of descent of 1,000 feet per minute. At an altitude of 5,100 feet, the pilot made a turn to the left in clouds when the aircraft struck the west slope of Mt Kleinobir located about 16 km southeast of Klagenfurt Airport. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and both occupants were killed. At the time of the accident, the visibility was nil due to clouds and the pilot was descengin under IFR mode.

For unknown reasons, the twin engine aircraft belly landed at Vienna-Schwechat Airport. All 11 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew (an instructor and two student pilots) was engaged in a local training flight out from Vienna-Schwechat Airport. At liftoff, while in initial climb, the instructor shut down an engine to simulate a failure at low altitude. The pilot-in-command (under supervision) inadvertently shut down the second engine. Due to insufficient speed, the airplane stalled and crashed in flames. All three occupants were seriously injured.

The twin engine airplane was completing a charter flight from France to Innsbruck-Kranebitten Airport. While descending in marginal weather conditions, the airplane struck the slope of Mt Toralm located 17 km from the airport. The wreckage was found few hours later.
