- Date: June 7, 1997
- Aircraft: BAc 111
- Location: Stockholm-Arlanda, Uppland, Sweden
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Nose gear collapse from overload when the aircraft touched down nose-first after two bounces; shortcomings in cockpit resource management contributed.
A TAROM BAC 1-11 flight RO335 from Bucharest landed at Stockholm Arlanda in gusty crosswinds. The nose gear hit the runway heavily after a bounce, and when the crew moved to nosewheel steering it failed, so the aircraft veered off the runway onto the grass at about 60 knots. Passengers left through the normal exit and there were no injuries.
