Accidents and Incidents
- On 4 April 1994, KLM Cityhopper Flight 433 was a Saab 340 that crashed at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, killing 3 and seriously injuring 9. A faulty warning light caused the crew to mistakenly believe that the engine suffered from low oil pressure. On final approach at a height of 90 feet, the captain decided to go around and gave full throttle, however only on the number one engine leaving the other in flight idle. Because of this, the aircraft rolled to the right, pitched up, stalled and hit the ground at 80 degrees bank
