- Date: April 4, 1994
- Aircraft: Saab 340
- Location: Amsterdam-Schiphol, North Holland, Netherlands
- Fatalities: 3
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Loss of control during an asymmetric go-around due to inadequate use of the flight controls, with limited crew understanding of the engine oil system and of the single-engine-idle configuration, and poor crew resource management.
A KLM Cityhopper Saab 340 on flight KL433 from Amsterdam to Cardiff reduced its right engine to flight idle after an oil pressure warning and returned for landing. During an asymmetric go-around after an offset approach, the aircraft lost control and hit the ground in a steep right bank outside the airport. Three people died, including the captain.
