- Date: April 4, 1967

- Location: Ughelli Delta, Nigeria
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
The Twin Pioneer was on a local training flight at Ughelli when the instructor shut down one engine to simulate an asymmetric descent. The propeller would not feather, so the aircraft lost speed and height, struck treetops and crashed in flames in a wooded area. Both pilots evacuated and the aircraft was destroyed.
