On ๐ข๐ฐ๐๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ญ๐ต, ๐ญ๐ต๐ด๐ฒ, a Tupolev Tu-134 (Reg. C9-CAA) departed Mbala for a flight back to Maputo. The flight carried Mozambique president Samora Machel who had attended a meeting of African leaders in Zambia.
While approaching Maputo, an inadvertent selection of the MATSAPA VOR frequency caused the crew to execute a premature 37ยฐ turn. Although the pilot queried the turn, no effort was made to verify it by using the available navigational aids. The plane descended below the 3,000 feet limit in spite of not having visual contact with Maputo. The crew erroneously assumed a power failure at Maputo.
A 32-second GPWS warning was ignored and the plane collided with the ground at 2,187 feet, bounced and crashed into an uphill slope. The plane broke up, slid across the South African/Eswatini border and caught fire. Machel, along with 33 other occupants did not survive the accident.

"The cause of the accident was that the flight crew failed to follow procedural requirements for an instrument let-down approach , but continued to descend under visual flight rules in darkness and some cloud, i.e. without having visual contact with the ground, below minimum safe altitude, and in addition the ignored GPWS alarm."

On ๐๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ถ๐น ๐ญ๐ฌ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฑ, an Alia Royal Jordanian Airlines Handley Page Herald (Reg. JY-ACQ) was operating a non-scheduled international passenger flight from Beirut to Amman, carrying 50 passengers and 4 crew members.
The plane departed Beirut at 19:55 GMT and was cleared to climb to and maintain FL135 according to the flight plan submitted. At 20:14 the plane reported to Damascus Centre over Dakweh at FL120 climbing to FL135 and estimating Damascus beacon at 20:19. The plane having not reported over that beacon by 20:20, the Damascus Centre controller initiated a series of calls which were not answered by the plane.
At 20:35, a telephone call indicated that a plane flying west to east was seen on fire and had crashed half-way between the Syrian border and Damascus. It was subsequently found that this was the subject plane, and that it had crashed at approximately 20:16 on a 45ยฐ slope of a mountain at a height of 4,200 feet AMSL on a heading of 340ยฐ.

The cause of the accident was structural failure of the fuselage in flight.")
