The aircraft departed Quelimane on a cargo/military/supply mission to Mocuba, carrying six crew members and a load of equipment for the victims of the recent flood in northern Mozambique. Shortly after takeoff, one of the engines failed. The crew attempted an emergency landing when the aircraft crash landed in a field and came to rest about 150 metres past the runway end. All six occupants escaped uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

During the takeoff roll at Luabo Airport, at a speed of 180 km/h, the crew noted severe vibrations coming from the nose gear. Decision was taken to abort the takeoff procedure. Unable to stop within the remaining distance (the Luabo paved runway is 1,000 metres long), the aircraft overran, lost its nose gear and came to rest 500 metres further in a cemetery, bursting into flames. The copilot was killed while 10 other occupants escaped with minor injuries.

Crashed in unknown circumstances. There were no casualties.

After takeoff from Quelimane Airport, while climbing, the aircraft was shot down by a surface-to-air missile and crashed in a field, bursting into flames. Both pilots were killed.

After takeoff from Luabo Airport, while climbing, the twin engine aircraft was shot down by ground fire and crashed. The pilot, sole on board, was killed. He was completing a flight on behalf of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The approach to Quelimane Airport was initiated by night. On final, the pilot-in-command reduced engine power to idle. At a height of 230 feet, as the airspeed dropped below the speed reference, the stick shaker activated. The captain increased engine power when the aircraft lost height and descended until it struck the ground about 400 meters short of runway. The undercarriage were torn off and the airplane slid for few dozen meters before coming to rest. All 110 occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer was on a sales demonstration flight in Africa. A flight out of Luabo was made with a takeoff weight within 100 kg of the maximum permitted. The aircraft had climbed to 700 feet when the no. 1 prop was feathered. When over the Zambesi River, the plane began to lose height. The aircraft continued to lose height even with the no. 2 engine at maximum continuous power, so attempts were made to restart the no. 1 engine at 300 feet. These attempts were unsuccessful and a forced landing was carried out on an island in the river. Following impact, the Twin Pioneer slid for approximately 75 yards on soft ground and the main gear and both wings became detached.
