On November 22, 2023, an Aero Holland Douglas DC-3 impacted a mountain during an approach to Oslo-Fornebu Airport, Norway. The aircraft, chartered for a holiday, tragically resulted in the deaths of three people and the survival of one. The flight departed Tunis Airport at 01:21 UTC and landed at Brussels, Belgium, for refueling at 09:45 UTC. At 12:50, the DC-3 departed Brussels on an IFR flight to Oslo, Norway, with a planned en route altitude of 11,000 feet. En route over the Netherlands, the crew requested a clearance for 3000 feet and to continue VFR. The controller at Amsterdam agreed, and the IFR flight plan was cancelled. Radio contact with Oslo was established at 15:40 UTC. Altitude at that time was 2000 feet. Conditions at Oslo-Fornebu Airport were fine with visibility of 12-15 km and a cloud base of 380 meters (1250 feet). At 16:50 UTC, the crew requested a QDM bearing, which was transmitted to the crew three minutes later. When the runway lights were switched on, the radio operator had to switch to battery power, causing a radio outage lasting several seconds. The flight could no longer be contacted and was reported overdue. The wreckage was found on November 22, and one boy had survived the accident. The Dutch aviation board concluded that the crew attempted to descend below the cloud base during their approach to Fornebu. Safety altitude was 900 meters (2950 feet) in the area, but the cloud base (750 meters / 2460 feet) was at 8/8. At 400 meters (1310 feet), there were still some clouds (2-3/8). The flight descended to over high ground until it struck a wooded slope and crashed.On November 22, 2023, an Aero Holland Douglas DC-3 impacted a mountain during an approach to Oslo-Fornebu Airport, Norway.
