- Date: September 17, 2003
- Aircraft: BAe Jetstream 31
- Location: Luleå, Norrbotten, Sweden
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Shortcomings in the operator's quality assurance, operational routines and regulations, with the commander serving as instructor without the required qualification and the crew's limited familiarity with asymmetric-thrust handling.
A Jetstream 32 on a training-type flight with simulated engine failure landed at Lulea with one engine at reduced thrust. The aircraft yawed and rolled right just after crossing the threshold and the right wing tip struck the ground. The aircraft slid on its fuselage, and the crew evacuated while rescue crews foamed the wreck.
