The pilot, sole on board, was completing a night cargo flight from Stansted to Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport. He was cleared for an ILS approach to runway 06 at 0253LT. Six minutes later, he initiated a go-around procedure as he was too high on the glide. He was then cleared to start an approach to runway 19R and climbed to the altitude of 2,000 feet before turning to base. At a distance of 3 nm from runway threshold at a height of 750 feet, the aircraft made a right turn then descended, turned left and crashed in a field, bursting into flames. The only occupant was killed.

During the preflight briefing, about 44 minutes prior to takeoff, the crew was informed about the presence of a low pressure area south of Rotterdam with thunderstorm activity and turbulences. At 1704LT, the airplane took off from Rotterdam Airport and climbed to the south according to departure routes. At 1709LT, the crew noticed heavy rainfall and thunderstorms on the weather radar and was cleared to change heading to avoid this area. Three minutes later, the airplane entered a zone of heavy altitude downdrafts and updrafts with severe turbulences, which resulted in loads on the airframe increasing to +6.8 G and -3,2 G. These excessive G loads compromised the structural integrity of the aircraft and especially the right wing from which a large portion separated. From an altitude of 3,000 feet, the airplane entered a dive and disintegrated while crashing on a highway crossing near Moerdijk. All 17 occupants were killed.

During the takeoff roll at Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport, the captain decided to abandon the takeoff procedure. While returning to the apron via a taxiway, the airplane struck a blast fence with its left wing that was partially torn off. There were no injuries while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was engaged in a maritime patrol flight along the Dutch coast when he encountered unknown technical problems. The captain decided to ditch the airplane about 1,500 meters off Wassenaar. All 14 occupants were rescued and the aircraft was towed but considered as damaged beyond repair.

The Hansa Jet departed Hamburg (HAM) at 0725LT on a positioning flight to Cologne (CGN) where it was to pick up some passengers who were to be taken to Paris for the signing of the Airbus treaty. While descending through a thick layer of clouds for Cologne, the right engine high pressure fuel pump failed. Some 22 seconds later the electrical system failed. The airplane entered a spiral descent until the first officer was able to light the instrument panel using a flash light. He noticed the severe right bank and told the captain to turn left and pull up. The airplane was brought under control and the crew climbed above the layer of clouds. It was decided to fly on a heading of 330° towards the North Sea, because the crew expected VFR weather there for an emergency landing. After flying for about half an hour the crew saw an island between the clouds, which turned out to be the Dutch island of Texel. Failing to see an airport in the area, it was decided to carry out a forced belly landing on the beach of Texel. The aircraft sustained additional substantial damage when being salvaged.

The twin engine airplane departed Midden Zeeland aerodrome on a local sightseeing flight with nine passengers and a pilot. En route, it went through a fog bank when the pilot suffered a spatial disorientation. Few seconds later, while coming out of the fog, the airplane adopted a 45° left bank, went out of control and crashed into the Veerse Lake off the Haringvreter Island. The pilot and two passengers were killed while seven other occupants were seriously injured.

Without clearance, the copilot released the brakes and began to taxi when the right propeller struck a ground power unit. The airplane was immediately stopped. There were no casualties but the airplane was later considered as damaged beyond repair.

The single engine was engaged in a local skydiving exercice, carrying one pilot and three soldiers/skydivers. While in cruising altitude, the pilot stabilised the aircraft and the first skydiver jump out of the cabin when he apparently struck the stabiliser. The pilot lost control of the airplane that crashed in an open field located between the villages of Garderen and Elspeet. The pilot and a second parachutist were injured while the first skydiver and a second parachutist were killed.
