KLM Cityhopper Flight 433 was a Saab 340B, registered as PH-KSH, which crashed during an emergency landing on 4 April 1994 and killing 3 occupants, including the captain.

While the first officer consulted the emergency checklist, the captain unilaterally set the right engine's power to idle, probably to reduce the risk of damage.

As the Saab approached flight level 170 (17,000 feet [5,182 m]), the loss of power degraded the aircraft's climb performance.

The captain had not anticipated the consequences of flying with one engine at idle, and was unable to stabilise the final approach onto Runway 06; the situation was aggravated by an 8-knot (15 km/h; 9.2 mph) tailwind.

However, training records revealed that he had failed two engine-out checks, and on his most recent one had been given a "standard minus," the lowest passing grade.
