De Havilland DHC-6 Twin Otter

The crew was completing a cargo flight from Bogotá-El Dorado Airport to Yopal. On final approach in good weather conditions, the crew failed to realize his altitude was too low when the aircraft struck the slope of a mountain (900 metres high) located 5 km short of runway. The aircraft was destroyed upon impact and both pilots were killed.

While taking off from an icy lake, the nose gear struck an ice ridge. The aircraft went out of control and collided with the river bank before coming to rest. Both pilots were slightly injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. The accident occurred at 69°58'00.0"N 76°59'00.0"W.

While taking off from Sierra Grande Airport, the twin engine aircraft was caught by strong crosswinds, went out of control and crashed. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. The accident occurred somewhere during 1992 (exact date unknown).

During the takeoff roll at Pogapa Airfield, the aircraft deviated to the right then went out of control. It veered off runway, went down an embankment and came to rest in a ravine. Both pilots escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While approaching Caballococha, the seaplane suffered an engine failure. The crew attempted an emergency landing when the aircraft crashed in Lake Caballococha. Three occupants were injured and eight others killed.

En route from Iquitos to El Estrecho, the crew encountered engine problems and elected to make an emergency landing on the Río Algodón when the aircraft struck trees and crashed in a dense wooded area, about 22 km south of El Estrecho. Both pilots and six passengers were killed while 13 other occupants were injured.

The ground loader had fueled the airplane from the airport fuel truck. He stated that the flight crew did not sump the fuel tanks after they were fueled. Immediately after takeoff the right engine lost power, the right wing lowered to about 90°, and the airplane impacted the ground adjacent to the runway. Then forward fuel tank, which provides fuel to the right engine, was found to contain about 8 gallons of a heavily contaminated mixture composed of water, an emulsifying agent, and bacterial growth. The fuel from the airport fuel truck and main underground tank contained the same mixture. Fuel had been transferred from the underground tank to the truck on the evening preceding the accident. The left propeller control was found seized in the feather position; left propeller blades in the near feather position. Six skydivers were injured while 16 other occupants including both pilots were killed.

En route from Owando to Brazzaville, while in cruising altitude, the crew encountered stormy weather when the aircraft lost height and crashed in a prairie. All five passengers were seriously injured and all three crew members were killed. The loss of control occurred in thunderstorm activity.

During the takeoff roll on icy runway 18, the aircraft deviated to the left but the crew continued the takeoff procedure. At liftoff, the aircraft struck a 1,2 metre snowdrift and crashed, coming to rest upside down. Both pilots escaped uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair and later transferred to Norway on static display.

The aircraft departed Honiara-Henderson Airport on a flight to Kirakira, carrying 13 passengers and two pilots. En route, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and while cruising at an altitude of 4,100 feet in poor visibility, the aircraft struck the southern slope of Mt Nasuha located in the southeast part of the Guadalcanal Island. The wreckage was found three days later in an isolated area and all 15 occupants were killed. It was reported that a local DME system was out of service at the time of the accident due to maintenance and the crew was flying under VFR mode in IMC conditions.
