Airport (less than 10 km from airport)

For unknown reasons, the twin engine airplane landed very hard at Yogyakarta-Adisutjipto Airport. All 10 occupants were uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair following irreparable structural damages.

Following a three hours IFR flight, the pilot, also owner of the aerodrome, made a left hand visual circuit at an altitude of 600 feet for runway 26. On final with flaps down two notches, the right side of the airframe and the wing root struck the top of a tree about 80 metres from the runway threshold and 30 metres to the right of its extended centerline. The aircraft struck the ground hard, went out of control and came to rest in a grassy area parallel to the runway. All five occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft was destroyed.

Following an uneventful flight from Las Palmas, the crew started the descent to Banjul-Yundum Airport. The visibility was limited due to the night and poor weather conditions with low clouds and heavy rain falls from a tropical storm. On final approach, the aircraft crashed 4,300 metres short of runway 32. The wreckage was found 800 metres to the right of the extended centerline. A passenger was seriously injured while nine other occupants, among them German tourists, were killed.

The crew was completing a local training mission at Taipei-Songshan Airport. On approach, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with heavy rain falls. The captain decided to initiate a go-around procedure when control was lost. The aircraft crashed few km short of runway and was destroyed. All eight occupants were killed.

The pilot reported that the airplane lifted off at 70 knots. After accelerating in ground effect the airplane became 'unstable in the roll axis' so he added power. He reported that the left wing tip contacted the runway approximately 3/4 the way down the runway. The pilot then added additional power at which point the left wing contacted the grass off the left side of the departure end of the runway. The pilot then reduced the power to idle and landed the airplane in the grass collapsing the landing gear. The pilot reported that the engines sounded normal throughout the accident sequence. Investigation revealed another Beech 18 had taken off on the same runway, but in the opposite direction of N916TM less than one minute prior to the accident.

The aircraft was completing an ambulance flight from Porto Alegre to Chapecó, carrying five doctors and two pilots. On approach to Chapecó-Serafim Enoss Bertaso Airport by night, the crew encountered poor weather conditions. On final, the aircraft struck the ground and crashed 2,5 km short of runway 29. A passenger was seriously injured while six other occupants were killed. Few hours later, the only survivor died from his injuries.

As the cargo jet was taxiing for takeoff in a non movement area, it was struck by an airport employee shuttle bus. The airplane captain was seriously injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and the collision occurred during predawn hours. The bus driver said he stopped at the stop sign, turned on the 4-way flasher lights, and looked both ways. He saw one inbound aircraft to the right that had stopped. He did not see the airplane approaching from the left as he started across the cargo ramp. The airplane crew stated they did not see the bus until seconds before impact. Airplane skid marks, measuring 22 and 24 feet in length, were noted on the taxiway. No bus skid marks were noted on the roadway.

While descending to Khabarovsk-Novy Airport by night, both engine stopped simultaneously. The crew attempted an emergency landing when the aircraft crash landed in a field located 11 km from Khabarovsk Airport. All seven occupants were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

After touchdown at Chania-Souda Airport, the four engine aircraft went out of control, veered off runway, lost its undercarriage and came to rest. All 26 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was written off.

Following a normal approach and landing, the crew started the braking procedure. After a course of about 700 metres, the undercarriage slowly retracted. The aircraft came to rest on its belly and was damaged beyond repair. All 44 occupants escaped uninjured.
