- Date: December 10, 1992
- Aircraft: Volpar Turboliner 18
- Location: Baltimore, Maryland, United States
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Improperly restrained cargo and loading beyond weight and balance limits shifted the center of gravity during a missed approach, causing loss of control.
A Volpar Turboliner cargo flight from Dayton was told to go around on approach to Baltimore because of traffic. The cargo had been loaded beyond the aft center of gravity limit and was not properly restrained, so it shifted during the go-around. The aircraft lost control in gusty winds after descending through low cloud, and the only person aboard, the pilot, was killed.
