- Location: Kayseri-Erkilet, Central Anatolia Region, Türkiye

A Turkish Air Force CN-235 on a local training flight from Kayseri-Erkilet was reportedly simulating an engine failure when a crew member shut down the second engine by mistake. The aircraft lost speed and height at low altitude, stalled, and crashed near the Sarimsakli Dam. All three occupants were killed.
