- Date: September 9, 2000
- Aircraft: Dornier DO.28D Skyservant
- Location: San Pablo-Coaselsa, Imbabura, Ecuador
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The instructor pilot's decision to go around after landing long with an engine inoperative, with insufficient runway length and excess weight, and several crew errors including failure to follow the checklist.
A Dornier Do 28 cargo flight from Manta to San Pablo lost its right engine on final approach and continued on one engine. The aircraft landed long, the crew attempted a go-around with insufficient runway remaining, and it struck the ground beyond the runway end. The copilot was killed and the other two occupants were seriously injured.
