- Date: January 21, 1989
- Aircraft: Swearingen SA226 Metro II
- Location: Örnsköldsvik, Ångermanland, Sweden
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The unfeathered propeller drag required trim and rudder corrections, which left the aircraft misaligned on final approach.
A Muk Air Metro II carrying 17 people lost oil pressure in one engine shortly after takeoff from Örnsköldsvik. The propeller could not be feathered, and on the approach back to the airport the aircraft landed about 30 metres left of the runway and was written off. All occupants escaped uninjured.
