- Date: September 4, 1991
- Aircraft: Gulfstream GII
- Location: Keningau, Sabah, Malaysia
- Fatalities: 12
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Controlled flight into terrain caused by a series of crew errors, including high speed on approach, failure to follow the descent profile and poor radio communication.
A Gulfstream II carrying Conoco executives on a Tokyo to Kota Kinabalu flight, with a planned fuel stop, struck a mountain in the Crocker Range while descending for an approach. The crew did not slow to approach speed or follow the published descent profile, and both pilots saw high terrain shortly before impact. All 12 occupants were killed.
