During take-off run at Kinshasa N´djili Airport the aircraft suffered a tire burst at high speed. Tire debris severed a hydraulic line and causing additional damage to the left engine. The pilots continued the take-off but levelled off at lower altitude for preparations for an emergency return to land. Subsequently, the left engine had to be shut down. Despite all efforts, the pilots were unable to extent the undercarriage fully so a gear-up landing was made. Very soon after touchdown on runway 06, the MD-80 began to drift to the right off the runway where it came to a stop on grassy ground. Its nosegear either failed to extent or collapsed. It is understood that there were 20 or so injuries persons. The poor state of the runway at N´djili Airport raised speculations wether this may have been the reason for the tire burst.

During cruiseflight over Czech Republic, ground stations lost all communication with the flight. The A321 crossed the border and travelled across Germany 'silently' until communication was re-established close to the dutch border. Air Traffic Control was about 40 minutes without any radio message from the flight which was cruising at 32.000 feet (FL320). Two durch F16 fighter planes departed but were called off before they reached the aircraft. The A321 reached its detination without further incident. Dutch authorities are investigating.

Very soon after take-off from runway 25 at Berlin-Schoenefeld International Airport, the DC-3 suffered a powerloss on its left engine. The pilots were unable to maintain altitude and an immediate return to land on a runway became impossible. The pilots put the DC-3 down in an open area close to a construction site where the aircraft received substantial damage but remained intact. All persons on board managed to escape but seven people were received minor injuries. The DC-3 suffered destruction of the right wing and is likely not to be repaired again. At the time the aircraft was on a local sightseeing flight from Schoenefeld Airport to the Berlin City Center.

After touchdown on runway 07 (lengh= 2.438 m), the pilots were unable to stop the aircraft before the end of the runway resulting in an overran. The Embraer Regional Jet ran over the grass where its nosegear collapsed before it came to a halt about 125 meters further. Three people - among them the copilot - received injuries.

On touchdown runway 28 at El Alto Airport (lengh: 4.000 m), the 737 suffered loss of hydraulic pressure resulting in a complete wheelbrake failure leaving the pilots to slow down the 737 with reverse thrust only. The aircraft departed the end of the runway at slow speed coming to rest on even surface and only minimal (or no) damage occured. Also, no one on board the aircraft was injured. Initial investigation revealed a bracket in the right maingear failed causing vibration and leading to a rupture of the adjacent hydraulic line.

During a normal approach descending through an altitude of about 10.000 feet, the pilots experienced an uncommanded rudder deflection to the right resulting in a continously increasing bank angle. After about 90 seconds, the rudder returned to the neutral postition and the pilots regained fully control of their aircraft. The flight was safely continued and ended with an uneventful landing at St. Petersburg. Flight data recorder readout by MAK revealed a rudder deflection by 3,5 degrees at an altitude of 10.600 feet, a maximum bank angle of 56 degrees and a 23 degree nose-down attitude.
