Aero Trasporti Italiani Flight 460 was a flight that crashed on 15 October 1987 on Mount Crezzo, near Conca di Crezzo, Italy, that took the lives of 34 passengers and 3 crew. The aircraft took off from Milan-Linate (LIN) for a flight to Cologne (CGN). Icing conditions existed. Fifteen minutes after takeoff, while climbing through FL147 in IAS hold mode (constant speed set at 133 kts) the aircraft rolled left and right. The plane rolled 41 degrees right, 100 degrees left, 105 degrees right and 135 degrees left. During pull up three anomalous pitch trim movements set the elevator to pitch down, preventing recovery.

The ATR crashed nose down into a 700 m high mountain following an uncontrolled descent.^[1]
