- Date: November 29, 1999
- Aircraft: PZL-Mielec AN-28
- Location: Szczecin, West Pomeranian Voivodeship (Zachodniopomorskie), Poland
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: The crew recalculated the cargo weight but not the fuel quantity, and liters and kilograms were confused during loading planning.
An Enimex An-28 cargo flight with a passenger and two pilots ran short of fuel after the crew miscalculated the fuel load following a change in cargo weight. Both engines stopped while descending toward Szczecin. The crew made an emergency landing in a field about 30 km north of the city, and the aircraft came to rest in a ravine. All three occupants escaped uninjured.
