Safety history

  • January 24, 1977AccidentHull loss

    While trying to land on a level landing strip at Gomez Nunatak, Adelaide Island, Antarctica, the pilot made an error of judgment and landed on a hilly terrain. The aircraft collided with snow slope and came to rest. All five occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair and abandoned on site. Both engines and avionics were salvaged. Probable cause (official findings): Crew mistook snow slope for a flat landing site.
