During the takeoff roll, a undercarriage collapsed. The aircraft failed on its belly, veered off runway and slid for several yards before coming to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While cruising by night at an altitude of 8,000 feet, the aircraft hit with its right wing some trees and crashed in a dense wooded area. The wreckage was found a month later and all 44 occupants have been killed.

Upon touchdown, a landing gear collapsed. The aircraft skidded for several yards before coming to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was flying on autopilot under the cloud layer when the weather conditions worsened. The captain decided to gain height and increased engine power to do so. Shortly later, while climbing in clouds, the aircraft hit the slope of a hill and crashed in a dense wooded area. All four crew members and 22 passengers were killed while four others were seriously injured.

Enroute, both engines failed simultaneously, forcing the crew to reduce his altitude and to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft belly landed in a field located 48 km north of Phnom Penh, skidded for several yards and eventually came to rest in flames. There were no casualties but the aircraft was destroyed by fire.

While flying in a thunderstorm, the aircraft went out of control, dove into the ground and crashed in a hilly terrain. All five crew members were killed. It appears there were severe turbulence in the area at the time of the accident.

Enroute, the aircraft hit the slope of a mountain located near Page, killing all 14 occupants.

Shortly after takeoff, while in initial climb, the aircraft banked right, stalled and crashed in huge explosion. 45 occupants, among them three crew members, were killed, while five others were seriously injured. Weather was good at the time of the accident. The copilot reported prior to departure that the right engine magneto check was unsatisfactory. The captain considered the check as good and started the takeoff procedure. It appears the aircraft did not gain sufficient height after rotation as its total weight was well above the admissible MTOW. There were 46 soldiers on board, with their full package and ammunition as well.
