- Date: March 20, 1991
- Aircraft: Piper PA-42 Cheyenne
- Location: Mt Hallasan, Jeju, South Korea
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Not determined; the non-standard approach route and continued VFR flight into cloud-covered terrain were the key factors reported.
A Korean Air training crew approached Jeju from the west instead of the standard northern approach. The captain cancelled IFR and continued VFR in low cloud, and the Cheyenne struck the eastern slope of Mt Hallasan at about 2,300 ft. All three crew were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.
