- Date: June 26, 2009
- Aircraft: Let L-410
- Location: Capurganá, Chocó, Colombia

- Cause: Loss of control after touchdown following an unstabilized approach, with low crew situational awareness, pilot fatigue, the absence of a sterile cockpit, and the crew not knowing the landing distance needed.
A Let L-410 chartered from Medellin landed at Capurgana on a 16-passenger flight and drifted left after touchdown. It left the runway, crossed the grass, and hit the perimeter fence before stopping against a tree. All 18 people on board survived, though the captain was seriously injured, and the aircraft was destroyed.
