- Date: August 20, 2015
- Aircraft: Let L-410
- Location: Červený Kameň, Trenčín Region, Slovakia
- Fatalities: 3
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: Slovak final report SKA2015005 (as summarized by BAAA): inadequate aircraft management and failure to master piloting technique by the OM ODQ commander, with contributing mobile phone handling and an overweight takeoff by OM ODQ.
Let L 410 OM SAB, the leading aircraft of a two aircraft skydiving formation from Dubnica Air, was struck by the trailing OM ODQ while climbing to about 1,400 to 1,500 m near the airfield. The aircraft crashed in woodland north of the airfield, killing both crew and one of its 17 skydivers. The Slovak investigation attributed the collision to the OM ODQ captain's poor flight management.
