de Havilland Aircraft of Canada LTD DHC-7-102 "Dash 7" · 36 fatalities
The cause of the accident was that the last part of the approach was started about 4 NM too soon. The aircraft therefore flew below the safe terrain clearance altitude and crashed into rising terrain. The Board cannot indicate any certain reason why the approach started so early.
