- Date: January 29, 2014
- Aircraft: De Havilland DHC-8-200 (Dash-8)
- Location: Ilulissat, Qaasuitsup Kommunia, Greenland
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: DAIB: Non optimum crew resource management on final approach led to target fixation and a blocked go around decision. The crew flew a non stabilised approach in crosswinds above the operator limit, and the left main gear fuse pin sheared under overload, followed by power lever cycling and left rudder without decisive reverse thrust that prevented directional control.
An Air Greenland De Havilland Dash 8 200 (OY GRI) flight GRL3205 from Kangerlussuaq landed on runway 07 at Ilulissat on 29 January 2014 in gusty crosswinds above the operator limit. The left main landing gear collapsed, and the aircraft left the runway, slid down a snow covered slope and stopped on rocks below the runway. One passenger and one crew member suffered minor injuries and the aircraft was destroyed. The Danish investigation board found a sheared left main gear fuse pin, an unstabilised approach and crew target fixation.
