- Date: December 6, 1984
- Aircraft: Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirante
- Location: Jacksonville-Intl, Florida, United States
- Fatalities: 13
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Malfunction of the elevator control or trim system caused a pitch control problem; crew reaction overstressed the left elevator control rod and the stabilizer attachment failed. The NTSB could not determine the precise pitch control defect.
Provincetown-Boston Airlines Flight 1039, a scheduled flight from Jacksonville to Tampa, crashed after takeoff from runway 31 at Jacksonville International Airport. The horizontal stabilizer separated from the fuselage before impact, the aircraft struck the ground inverted and caught fire, and all 13 people aboard were killed.
