Circumstances:
The crew was engaged in a local 'training' mission in the region of Trängslet as the aircraft was used as a moving target for the Swedish Army. While flying at low altitude, the aircraft struck a pine with its left wing that was partially torn off. The aircraft lost height then crashed 500 meters further. Both pilots were killed.
Probable cause:
The aircraft crashed after flying at an insufficient altitude because:
- The crew propensity to fly below the prescribed altitude, or
- Some behavior in the cockpit or other factors on the ground that may affected the attention of the crew.

Due to poor visibility, he was unable to locate the airport. Following two missed approaches, the twin engine airplane struck a hill and crashed about 4 km south of Borlänge. The pilot, sole on board, was killed.

Circumstances:
The twin engine airplane departed Stockholm-Bromma on a charter flight to Gävle, carrying three passengers and a crew of two. On approach to Gävle Airport, the crew encountered low visibility due to the night and snow falls.

SAR operations were initiated but the wreckage was found the following morning at 0900LT. A passenger survived and was evacuated to local hospital while four other occupants were killed.
Probable cause:

Aircraft flight hours:

Circumstances:
The aircraft was completing a regular schedule flight from Kristianstad to Stockholm-Bromma with intermediate stop in Växjö and Jönköping, carrying 19 passengers and a crew of three on behalf of Linjeflyg. On approach to Bromma Airport, the crew encountered marginal weather and icing conditions. At an altitude of 1,150 feet and a speed of 137 knots, flaps were deployed at an angle of 40° when control was lost. The airplane entered a nose down attitude and crashed at an angle of 110° and a speed of 210 knots in a parking lot located in the residential area of Kälvesta, about 4,5 km short of runway 12 threshold. The aircraft was totally destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire and all 22 occupants were killed. At the time of the accident, weather conditions were considered as marginal with icing conditions and a horizontal visibility of 5 km with a cloud base at 700 feet.
Probable cause:
Loss of control on final approach due to an excessive accumulation of ice on the horizontal stabilizers after the crew lower the flaps from 32° to 40°. When control was lost, both right engines n°3 and 4 were not running at full power for undetermined reasons, which caused the deicing system to produce an insufficient temperature.
