  1. Date: November 24, 2001
  2. Passengers: 28
  3. Crew: 5
  4. Fatalities: 24
  5. Cause: "...on the final approach, in own navigation, of the standard VOR/DME approach 28 the aircraft flew controlled into a wooded range of hills (controlled flight into terrain - CFIT), because the flight crew deliberately continued the descent under instrument flight conditions below the minimum altitude for the approach without having the necessary prerequisites. The flight crew initiated the go around too late."
