A Turkish registered Canadair Challenger 604 corporate jet crashed into mountainous terrain near Shahr e Kord in Iran while flying from Sharjah to Istanbul, killing all 11 people on board. Conflicting airspeed indications led the crew into an overspeed warning, then a stall, and the aircraft ended up in a series of pitch and roll oscillations before the engines flamed out. The investigation attributed the accident to crew handling of the airspeed failure and weak crew resource management.
