- Date: December 4, 1994
- Aircraft: Cessna 208B Grand Caravan
- Location: Oslo-Gardermoen, Akershus, Norway
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: A stall during initial climb caused by ice accumulated on the wings and tail while the aircraft stood outside without de-icing. The company also lacked written de-icing procedures and adequate equipment.
A single-engine Cessna 208B Caravan operated by Air Team was on a night cargo flight from Oslo-Gardermoen to Bergen with newspapers aboard. Shortly after takeoff in poor weather it stalled during the initial climb and crashed in a wooded area about 1.5 km from the airport, killing the sole pilot. The aircraft had not been de-iced before departure.
