Circumstances:
The twin engine aircraft departed Salzburg on a charter flight to Altenrhein, St Gallen, carrying five passengers and one pilot. On approach to Altenrhein Airport, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions. Unable to locate the runway due to low visibility, he abandoned the approach, initiated a go-around procedure and was cleared to divert to Friedrichshafen-Bodensee Airport that he reached few minutes later. On final approach, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a field located short of runway threshold. The aircraft was destroyed upon impact and all six occupants were killed. At the time of the accident, weather conditions were poor.
Probable cause:
The aircraft stalled while the pilot was attempting a go-around procedure. The distance between the aircraft and the ground was insufficient to expect recovery. Poor weather conditions and limited visibility were considered as contributing factors.

Circumstances:
En route from Munich to Geneva, while in cruising altitude, the left engine suddenly failed. Few seconds later, the right engine lost power then failed as well. The crew declared an emergency and was cleared to divert to Friedrichshafen Airport. On short final, due to low airspeed, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a parking lot located about 200 meters short of runway 06. The aircraft was destroyed upon impact and all four occupants were injured. Both passengers were seriously wounded, the copilot broke a foot and the captain escaped uninjured.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the engine failure was the consequence of carburetor icing.
