On landing
Dhaka-Shajalal International Airport, the aircraft ran off the side of the
runway down an embankment where it came to rest against a brick wall. Both
pilots were hurt when the aircraft nose hit the wall. Although local media
reported only minor damage, images showed intense structural damage to the
nose and right wing. Also the left foreward side of the fuselage was
severed by rotating propeller blades making the aircraft likely to be considered as damaged
beyond economical repair. At the time of the accident, the ATR was
operating on a military passenger flight carrying pilots other crewmembers
for a cross-country exercise.

On landing at
Gaalkacyo in favourable weather conditions, the aircraft departed the
runway 05L to the right side where its nose undercarriage collapsed until
it was steered back to the runway where it came to a stop. Both wings reportedly
broke near the wingroot and the aircraft came to rest on its belly. There were
no reports about any injuries among passengers or crewmembers. Gaalkacyo
Airport is equipped with a single runway, paved but mostly eroded. A
parallel dirt strip is also available. The
runway lengh is about 3000 meters. According to statements by the pilots,
they saw a stray animal (goat or dog) on the runway ahead immediately
after touchdown forcing them to initiate avoiding maneuvres. PUntland
officials however believe that a double failure of both nosegear tires
caused the loss of steering control.

The aircraft
was destroyed in a deliberate crash landing the mexican desert, at Salada
dry lake, a few miles south of Mexicali. At ground impact with
undercarriage extended, the foreward part of the aircraft broke off and
was completely destroyed and both wings were severed. No fire broke out.
At the time of the crash, the aircraft was emtpy and remote controlled
from a pair of chase planes. The crew safely parachuted to earth after
they carried out the take-off and a fly-by of the test area. The
experiment was conducted by US television company National Geographic to
demonstrate the effects of a crash landing.

On final
approach to runway 21R in fair weather conditions with a visibility of
about 5000 meters, the pilots erroneously lined-up on the parallel runway
21L which is dedicated for military use of the neighbour airbase. The 737
landed on the left runway (21L) without coming into conflict with other
traffic and proceeded to the civil terminal without further incident.
Ibaraki Airport combines operations with the Hyakuri Air Base. Civil
operations are restricted to use the western runway 21R/03L while all
military movements take place from the parallel runway (21L/03R).

According ot
local media information the aircraft suffered some kind of mechanical (engine)
problems immediately after getting off the ground at Viru Viru Airport.
During emergency return, the pilots were unable to maintain sufficient
height until the wing struck the ground not far beneath the runway. The
aircraft came to rest in two parts and caught fire. Only one passenger was
found alive. Among the people on board who lost their lives were the
bolivian Senator for National Convergence Gerald Ortiz together with his
fahter who were acting as pilots on the flight. At the time of the
accident local weather consisted of reduced visibility in rain (to about
3km) and low ceiling and moderate winds.
NOTE: The same aircraft (msn 22428) sustained substantial damage in an
accident at El Paraiso Ranch, Bolivia in 1999.

The aircraft
was on final
approach to runway 30 at Islamabad-B. Bhutto Intl Airport in adverse weather
conditions, when it lost height and crashed. The aircraft came down
in a residential district hitting dozens of houses before it broke apart
and caught fire. The accideent site was about 2,5 kilometers outside the
airport boundary and about 500 meters to the south of the approach track.
There were no survivors. There were no reports about any casualties on the
ground. At the day of the accident, flight 213 carried out the
inaugurational flight for the new route of Bhoja Air from Karachi to
Islamabad. At
the time local weather constisted of intense rain, thunderstorm activity,
high wind and limited visibility. Investigation showed the aircraft was
following instrument landing system (ILS) guidance to runway 30 but then
descended below the approach path and deviated to the left until radar
signal was lost. A multinational accident investigation has begun.
NOTE: Bhoja Air recently relaunched its operations in March 2012 after
it had to suspend all flights in 2001.

The aircraft
was flying en-route at 35000 ft. over the North Sea when a fighter
aircraft rapidly approached the flight forcing evasive action on behalf of
the flightcrew. The Fokker immediately climbed for about 1000 ft. before
normal en-route altitude was resumed. The incident took place about 33 NM
southwest of Westerland, Sylt. The other traffic is said to be a F-16C
fighter jet of US origin. The aircraft landed safely at Torp. The
netherlands authority has opened an investigation..

The aircraft
returned to land at Gatwick Airport on an emergency landing after the
pilots received a fire alert in the cargo hold about 10 minutes after
departure. After coming to a standstill on runway 08R, an emergency
evacvuation was carried out. A number of passengers sustained minor
injuries during evacuation. A number of tires deflated automatically
because of intense braking heat. The runway remained blocked for about 2
hours causing lots of delays at the airport before the A330 was removed.

The pilots
were forced to transmit a fuel emergency after two aborted approaches at
Barcelona-El Prat Airport and were given priority handling by Air Traffic
Control (ATC) for an ILS Cat III (low visibility conditions) landing on
runway 25L. The pilots landed safely above their minimum fuel limit.
Earlier, ATC denied the pilot´s request for landing under CAT III
conditions for reasons unknown. Only CAT II landings were allowed at the
time. The flight remained in a holding pattern for 30 minutes began to
divert to Valencia, then turned back after ATC signalled a slight weather
improvement at El Prat. However, conditions had worsened again upon
arrival forcing the pilots to fly to Girona, the closest alternate airport.
At this time ATC passed hte information that Girona has no further
capacity for the flight as they were fully congested by other diversions.
then the pilots radioed a fuel "PAN" emergency and - due to
circumstances unknown - were given CAT III approach clearance. Due to
intense fog, runway visibility at El Prat Airport was limited to around
200 meters. Authorities opened an investigation.

On take-off
run from runway 34 at Kigoma Airport, the aircraft expereinced engine
failure forcing the pilots to abort the take-off but the aircraft could no
be stopped before the end of the runway. The DHC-8 travelled across rough
ground where it ran into a pothole causing its nosegear and right maingear
to collapse. The right
wing broke and seperated immediately before the right engine nacelle. The
aircraft finally came to rest on flat, grassy ground about 150 meters
north of the runway threshold. All on board are known to have survived the

The aircraft
was rolling down the runway on landing when a number of gunmen (about five)
opened fire
killing one passengers and injuried four others among them a small child
and both pilots. As a result, hydraulic lines were severed causing a loss
of steering control. Subsequently, the
aircraft ran off the side of the runway, across the small apron until it hit a terminal
building resulting in unknown damage. Armed
attacks are common in the Papua region, where separatist groups have for
decades fought a low-level insurgency for the mostly ethnic Melanesian
population.
