- Date: January 11, 1992
- Aircraft: Cessna 402
- Location: Palm Beach County Park-Lantana, Florida, United States
- Fatalities: 1

- Cause: The pilot failed to keep airspeed above single-engine minimum control speed during a go-around, causing a loss of control and collision with terrain. His failure to declare an emergency and his decision to follow a slower aircraft contributed.
A Cessna 402 returning to Lantana after a single-engine problem was following a slower aircraft to land when the pilot shut down the left engine and attempted a go-around at low airspeed. The aircraft rolled left and crashed nose-down. The sole occupant was killed.
