| Date: | Aircraft: | Serial: | Unit: | Involved: | Location: | Circumstances: |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Feb 2015 |  Hawk Mk 120 |
250 | TFDC | 2 OK | Southern Cape | In-flight collision with air-ground weapon following weapon release during weapon release testing. Aircraft substantially damaged, but landed safely. Aircraft subsequently written-off. |
| 27 Mar 2014 | Hawk Mk 120 |
253 | 85 CFS | 2 OK | AFB Makhado | Aircraft experienced trim/stick problem on landing and hit the runway and bounced, breaking off the nose gear and sliding down runway before coming to a halt. |
| 19 Mar 2009 | Hawk Mk 120 |
257 | 85 CFS | 1 OK | Swartkop | The incident happened at Swartkop during a night landing in wet conditions. The Hawk overran the end of the runway and sustained minor damages to its undercarriage. The brake parachute failed during the first landing attempt. The crew took off again to burn off fuel to lighten the aircraft for the final precautionary landing. During the landing, the aircraft overran the runway due to the reduced braking efficiency without the braking parachute and that was aggravated further by wet runway. The crew did not sustain any injuries and the aircraft sustained fuselage minor damage. Used as a source for spares. |
| 30 Sep 2005 | Hawk Mk 120 |
BAe Systems | OK | AFB Hoedspruit | Possible birdstrike when a Vulture struck the left wing shortly after take-off, but the aircraft managed to land safely. | |
