Airspeed AS.10 Oxford

Luxair
Vickers Viscount
The four engine aircraft landed on a slippery runway due to wet snow. It went out of control, veered off runway and lost its nose gear before coming to rest. All occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

On final approach to Luxembourg-Findel Airport, the twin engine airplane crashed in unknown circumstances in Roodt-sur-Syre, about 4 km short of runway 24 threshold. All three occupants were killed.
Aeroflot - Russian International Airlines
Ilyushin II-62
Following an uneventful flight from Moscow-Shermetyevo Airport, the crew completed the approach to Luxembourg-Findel Airport. While passing over the runway 06 threshold at a height of 5 meters and a speed of 278 km/h, engine power was reduced to 40% and thrust reversers were activated on engine n°1 and 4. For unknown reasons, reversers on engine n°1 failed to deploy and the airplane banked right. At a speed of 265 km/h, the airplane landed five seconds later and after touchdown, the spoilers were activated and the engine power increased on engine n°1 and 4 to 86% and 80% respectively. The airplane veered off runway to the right, rolled for 1,300 meters then struck a water tower before coming to rest 900 meters further, bursting into flames. 38 occupants were injured and 32 others were unhurt. Unfortunately, seven passengers were killed in the accident.
Luxair
Fokker 50
The Fokker 27 Mk050 registered LX-LGB and operated by Luxair left Berlin on 6 November 2002 at 07h 40min on flight LG 9642/LH 2420 with destination Luxembourg. Cruising level was at FL180. At 08h 50min, Frankfurt Control asked the crew to stop descent at FL 90, direct to Diekirch and at 08h 52min the flight was transferred to Luxembourg Approach. They were instructed to enter the Diekirch hold at FL90, to expect later on vectors for an ILS 24 and were given the latest RVR readings. At 08h 59min, well before reaching the Diekirch hold, the aircraft was recleared to 3000ft QNH and to turn left heading one three zero. At this time the aircraft flew in the clear sky above a fog layer. RVR was two hundred seventy five meters. The crew evoked a go-around if the RVR was not three hundred meters whilst passing ELU (it’s minima for a category II approach). At 09h04 min 36s, the aircraft passed overhead ELU maintaining 3000ft QNH. At 09h04 min 57s, the ATC controller transmitted an RVR of three hundred meters. Power was further reduced, flaps 10 were selected and the landing gear was lowered. Immediately after the landing gear was lowered, the pitch angle of the two propellers simultaneously reached a value that is lower than the minimum values for flight. This propeller pitch setting involves a rapid decrease of speed and altitude. During the following seconds, the left engine stopped and then the right engine stopped. The flight data recorders, no longer powered ceased functioning. At 09h05 min 42s (radar time base), the aircraft disappeared from the radar screen. It was immediately found in a field seven hundred meters to the north of runway centreline 24 and three point five kilometres to the east of the threshold. Six people were critically injured while 16 others were killed. Within the following hours, four of the survivors died from their injuries. The only two survivors were a passenger, a French citizen, and the captain.
