November 1975
Purchased from VASP - Viacao Aerea São Paulo.

7 July 1976
During a crew training flight at Carrasco, Montevideo, Uruguay, the aircraft touched down heavily on the nose undercarriage which broke the downlock mechanism. The pilot took off again and returned for an emergency landing. During the second landing the pilot held the nose up for as long as possible before it eventually settled on the runway.

There was minimal damage to the aircraft but the inner propellers were curled resulting in shockloading damage to the inner Dart engines.

Repaired and returned to service.

4 December 1977
After landing at Carrasco, Montevideo, Uruguay the port main undercarriage wheels locked and the aircraft veered to the left and came to a halt. During the subsequent taxying off of the runway the port propellers struck the ground resulting in shockload damage to the port Dart engines. For some reason the port main brakes were locked on before the aircraft landed.

Repaired and returned to service.
