Landing (descent or approach)

After landing at Bunia Airport, the crew started the braking procedures when animals came on runway. The captain decided to initiated a go-around procedures and increased power on all four engines. On his part, the instructor decided to continue the landing procedure and put the engine to idle. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the aircraft overran and came to rest 400 metres further, bursting into flames. All 10 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire.

While completing a maritime survey flight off Masirah Island, the crew encountered technical difficulties when the propeller detached from the engine n°4 that caught fire. Shortly later, the engine n°3 lost power then engine n°1 & 2 also lost power and failed. The aircraft lost height but the crew was able to regain control at 2,500 feet and eventually ditched the aircraft 8 km offshore. All 11 occupants were quickly rescued while the aircraft sank and was lost.

Following a wrong approach configuration, the twin engine aircraft landed too far down the runway at Walker's Cay Airfield. After touchdown, the pilot realized his mistake and initiated a go-around procedure. He asked the passenger seating on the right seat (a pilot rated passenger) to retract the flaps. Mistakenly, the passenger raised the landing gear instead. The aircraft sank on its belly, causing both propellers to struck the runway surface. The aircraft caught fire and the pilot elected to continue. During initial climb, he eventually ditched the airplane few dozen metres offshore. Both occupants were seriously injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

Approaching Reno, the pilot received an instrument clearance to perform a Localizer DME-1, Rwy 16R, approach, which the FAA had previously approved for the operator's use. The localizer centerline passed over a 6,161-foot msl mountain, which was depicted on the chart. The pilot was familiar with the area, having transported cargo from Sacramento to Reno for 5 days each week since December, 1994. IMC existed and light snow showers were present. ATC issued the pilot a series of instructions as he was radar vectored toward the final approach fix (FAF), which had a minimum crossing altitude of 6,700 feet msl. The pilot misstated four of the instructions during clearance readbacks and was corrected by ATC each time. Contact with the pilot was lost following issuance of his landing clearance. The airplane impacted the mountainside at an elevation of about 6,050 feet, while tracking inbound near the centerline of the localizer course, about 2.7 nautical miles before reaching the FAF. The airframe, engine, and avionics equipment were examined. No mechanical malfunctions were found.

The twin engine aircraft departed Münster-Osnabrück Airport on a flight to Dresden, carrying four passengers and one pilot. On approach to Dresden-Klotzsche Airport by night, the pilot failed to realize his altitude was too low when the aircraft struck the chimney of a bungalow and crashed in a field located in Grossnaundorf, 13 km northeast of runway 22 threshold, bursting into flames. All five occupants were killed, among them Dietman Richert.

Leased from Winemiller Aviation, the aircraft was completing a charter flight from Fort Lauderdale to Cap Haïtien on behalf of the Metro Nord Travel Club. On approach to Cap Haïtien, flaps and undercarriage were selected down when the hydraulic pressure dropped. The crew continued the approach and the emergency air brake was armed. Upon touchdown, both tyres on the left main gear burst after the brakes locked. The aircraft veered off runway to the left and eventually collided with a parked UH-60 helicopter. All 31 occupants were evacuated safely and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The aircraft departed Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Airport on a cargo flight to Ossora, carrying 3 passengers, 7 crew members and a load of 4,8 tons of food. On approach to Ossora Airport, the completed a last turn in limited visibility when the aircraft descended too low till 300 metres. The GPWS alarm sounded and the captain elected to gain height when the aircraft struck the slope of a hill (376 metres high) located 8 km short of runway. One passenger was seriously injured while nine other occupants were killed. The aircraft disintegrated on impact.

The four engine aircraft departed Yerevan Airport on a cargo flight to Turkmenbashi, carrying 8 passengers, 7 crew members and a load of 13 tons of various goods. En route, while cruising at an altitude of 9,100 metres, the crew requested the permission to divert to Baku-Bina Airport. On approach, the crew was instructed by ATC to initiate a go-around as he was aligned on the wrong runway (a runway under construction and parallel to the active runway 35). The crew started to climb when all four engines stopped simultaneously. The aircraft stalled and crashed in a rocky field located 6 km from the airport. All 15 occupants were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

On final approach to Kinshasa-N'Djili Airport, the four engine aircraft was too low and descending at an insufficient speed when it collided with power cables, stalled and crashed in an open field. All occupants were rescued while the aircraft was destroyed.

Upon landing, one of the ski struck an ice ridge on the ground and cartwheeled. All three crew members escaped uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
