- Date: June 8, 1992
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 99 Airliner
- Location: Anniston, Alabama, United States
- Fatalities: 3
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Loss of situational awareness by inexperienced crew who did not fly the published approach, with inadequate training and operational support from the operator and poor crew coordination.
A GP Express Beechcraft 99 on a scheduled service from Atlanta to Anniston flew a non-precision approach from excessive altitude at cruise speed. The crew had just started flying together and in the southern operation, and they lost track of their position and believed they had radar service. The aircraft intercepted a back course and continued descending into terrain short of the airport.
