- Date: December 17, 2012
- Aircraft: Antonov AN-26
- Location: Tomas, Lima, Peru
- Fatalities: 4
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: Both engines failed in flight from ice accumulation and misuse of the deicing systems. Poor flight planning, weak crew resource management, inadequate icing and dual-engine-failure training and marginal weather contributed.
An Amazon Sky An-26 cargo flight from Lima to Las Malvinas was flying over the Andes at FL195 when both engines lost power to ice accumulation. The crew lost control and the aircraft crashed in mountainous terrain near Tomas. All four crew were killed.
