Atlantic Southeast Airlines Flight 2311 was a regularly scheduled commuter flight from Atlanta, Georgia to Brunswick, Georgia, USA which suffered an uncontrolled collision with terrain during landing approach to Glynco Jetport, just north of Brunswick, on April 5, 1991. The aircraft was an Embraer 120RT Brasilia, registered N270AS. None of the 20 passengers and 3 crew on board survived the accident.
A few minutes before the aircraft impacted with the ground, controllers at Glynco Jetport cleared flight 2311 for a visual approach to runway 07 at the airport. Witnesses reported that as the airplane approached the airport, it suddenly turned or rolled to the left until the wings were perpendicular to the ground. The airplane then fell in a nose-down attitude and disappeared out of sight behind the trees. Four years later, another Embraer Brasilia of ASA crashed in the Georgia countryside, with 9 fatalities.
