; 22 January 2002
: The crew of Icelandair Flight 315, a [[Boeing 757|Boeing 757-200]] registered TF-FIO with 75 passengers on board, unintentionally entered a series of extreme manoeuvres during a [[go-around]] from a low altitude following an unstabilised [[Final approach (aeronautics)|approach]] into [[Oslo Airport, Gardermoen]]. During the incident the aircraft was subjected to [[Load factor (aeronautics)|load factors]] over the design limits, culminating in a dive followed by a +3.59 [[g-force|g]] pull-up manoeuvre clearing the ground by only 321 ft. The speed limit for the [[Flap (aircraft)|flap]] configuration was also exceeded. Control was regained and a second approach was flown with the aircraft landing safely. The airliner was permitted to proceed on its subsequent scheduled flights without a technical inspection being conducted until 13 March of that year when its manufacturer [[Boeing]] recommended further maintenance work after having evaluated the readings from the [[flight data recorder]]. The [[Accident Investigation Board Norway]], which led the investigation into the incident, made four safety recommendations, including one to the wider aviation community on operational procedures regarding discontinued approaches.<ref>{{cite web |date=22 January 2002 |title=2003/07 &#124; aibn |url=http://www.aibn.no/aviation/reports/2003-07?ref=1713 |access-date=7 October 2012 |publisher=Aibn.no}}</ref>
