Västmanland

The aircraft, a Piper PA46-500TP Malibu Meridian, should carry out a private flight from Västeras airport to Prague. On board were a pilot and two passengers. Shortly after take-off an engine failure occurred and the pilot decided to make an emergency landing on Björnö Island, situated slightly to the right in the flight direction. The aircraft hit the ground with the left wing first and then rolled a number of times before it came to a final stop. During the accident both wings and parts of the tail separated from the aircraft. The fuselage remained relatively undamaged during the crash course. All three occupants escaped with minor injuries. A special study of the sequence of events shows that the impact, with the left wing first, caused the airplane's wings to act as shock absorbers, which greatly contributed to that the occupants only received minor injuries. During the accident - which occurred next to a secondary protection zone for water supply to the city of Västerås – a significant amount of fuel leaked out from the wreckage. The accident site was decontaminated after the accident. Examination undertaken in the area after the accident has not showed any trace of residual contamination in the soil.

Shortly after takeoff from Västerås Airport, while on a local training flight, the left engine failed and caught fire. The pilot-in-command elected to maintain a safe altitude but as he was unable to feather the propeller, the airplane lost height, past just over a 70,000 volts high voltage power line and eventually crashed in flames in a wooded area. Six occupants were killed while five others were seriously injured. Three days later, one of the survivor died from his injuries.

The airplane suffered an engine failure upon takeoff and crashed at Västerås Airport. All four crew members were rescued.

The crew departed Malmen AFB in Linköping on a liaison flight. En route, the right engine failed and the crew elected to divert to Arboga Airport. On final approach, the airplane lost height, collided with trees and crashed, bursting into flames. Two crew members were killed and two others were seriously injured. Eleven days later, one of the survivors died from injuries sustained.

Shortly after takeoff from the icy Mälaren Lake, while climbing, the single engine aircraft stalled and crashed. Both occupants were killed.

The pilot departed Västerås on a local solo training flight. The airplane crashed in unknown circumstances 2 km southwest of the airfield. The pilot was injured.

The pilot, sole on board, departed Ljungbyhed on a training flight. En route, the single engine airplane collided with a second Swedish Air Force DH.60 Moth registered 5103. Both aircraft crashed and were destroyed. Both pilots were injured.
