- Date: February 14, 1990
- Aircraft: Airbus A320
- Location: Bangalore-Hindustan, Karnataka, India
- Fatalities: 92
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew selected the open descent (flight idle) mode instead of glideslope capture and did not respond to the altitude callouts, so the aircraft sank below the approach path (Court of Inquiry report).
An Indian Airlines A320 on the Bombay to Bangalore service descended well below the approach path during its approach to Bangalore on 14 February 1990. It struck the boundary of a golf club and came down on a golf course. 92 of the 146 people aboard were killed.
