The twin engine airplane was carrying two technicians and two pilots bound for a mine field located near Lero, Kankan. It made an intermediate stop at Conakry on a flight from Sal, Cape Verde. En route, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with low clouds and fog when the airplane struck the slope of a mountain and disintegrated on impact. All four occupants were killed.

The aircraft departed Nouakchott in he evening of July 27 on a regular schedule service to Conakry with an intermediate stop in Dakar, carrying 91 passengers and a crew of six. Following an uneventful flight from Dakar, the crew started a night approach to Conakry-Gbessia Airport. After touchdown on a wet runway (due to recent rain falls), the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran, collided with the ILS antenna and some approach lights, lost its nose gear and came to rest 500 metres further. Ten passengers were injured while all 87 other occupants escaped unhurt. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While descending to Conakry-Gbessia Airport, the crew encountered technical problems with the undercarriage that could not be lowered. Several attempts were made to lower the gear manually but this was unsuccessful. The crew decided to complete a belly landing. After touchdown, the aircraft slid for few dozen metres and came to rest on the runway. All 50 occupants evacuated safely and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

During the takeoff roll from Sambailo Airport, at a speed of 180 km/h, the pilot-in-command realized he could not takeoff so he initiated an emergency braking procedure. As a distance of 350 metres was remaining, the aircraft was unable to stop within the distance, overran and came to rest. All 24 occupants escaped unhurt.

The aircraft was engaged in a charter flight, carrying people and support equipment for the Paris - Dakar Rally. After takeoff, while in initial climb, the left engine failed and the propeller was feathered. The crew decided to return for an emergency landing but on final, the aircraft became unstable after the undercarriage would be lowered at a height of 30-40 feet. The aircraft landed to the right of the runway and came to rest in a grassy area. The hot engines set fire to the dry grass and the aircraft was destroyed by fire. All 17 occupants escaped uninjured.

The four engine airplane departed Pyongyang Airport on a regular schedule service to Conakry, carrying 17 passengers and a crew of six. After two intermediate stops in Kabul and Cairo, the crew continued to Conakry without any incident. While descending to the Conakry-Gbessia Airport, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and failed to realize his altitude was insufficient when the airplane struck a mountain located in the Fouta-Djalon Mountain Range, about 30 km from the airport. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and all 23 occupants were killed.

After touchdown at Conakry-Gbessia Airport, the crew encountered difficulties and the airplane was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran and came to rest few dozen meters further with the left wing partially torn off. All 35 occupants were uninjured.
