Fokker F27 Friendship

After takeoff from Mendoza-El Plumerillo Airport, while climbing to a height of about 50 metres, the right engine lost power. The crew declared an emergency and initiated a left turn to return to the airport when control was lost. The aircraft stalled and crashed 300 metres past the runway end, bursting into flames. All five crew members were killed. They were completing a training flight to Paraná.

Boeing 707

The aircraft was completing a cargo flight from Santiago de Chile to Buenos Aires, carrying eight crew members and a load of 30 tons of fish. On final approach to Buenos Aires-Ezeiza-Ministro Pistarini Airport runway 11, at a speed of 151 knots, the crew quickly extended flaps to 14°, 25°, 40° and finally 50°, causing the aircraft to nose down and enter a rapid descent until it struck the ground 750 metres short of runway threshold. Upon impact, the aircraft broke in three and caught fire. Both pilots were killed while six other occupants were injured.

The aircraft was completing a humanitarian mission to Jérémie on behalf of the United Nations Organization. Upon touchdown, the left main gear collapsed.

The aircraft was written off.

Boeing 707

En route from Maceió to Fortaleza, while in cruising altitude, the crew reported hydraulic problems and was cleared to divert to Recife-Guararapes Airport for an emergency landing. On approach, the crew was forced to lower the gear manually but it was not possible to establish if they were locked down or not. In accordance with ATC, the crew completed a low pass over the airport and ATC confirmed all three gear were down. A second approach was completed and the aircraft landed smoothly. Nevertheless, following a course of few dozen metres, the right main gear 'collapsed' and entered its wheel well. The aircraft rolled to the right, veered off runway then struck a concrete block, causing the nose gear to collapse. All 168 occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Fokker F28 Fellowship

During the takeoff roll, the crew failed to realize that the aircraft was not properly aligned when the left main gear struck the snow covered shoulder of the runway. The aircraft lost speed and the crew did not abandon the takeoff procedure so liftoff was completed too late. After rotation, the aircraft struck the ILS antenna, crash landed, hit a ditch and came to rest. All 65 occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
