- Date: July 15, 1993
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 300 Super King Air
- Location: Taloja, Maharashtra, India
- Fatalities: 4
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The commander, who had limited experience on type and few instrument hours, descended below the cleared altitude in instrument conditions without intercepting the glide slope. Radar monitoring by the controller was also cited as contributing.
A Super King Air operated by the National Remote Sensing Agency was on a ferry flight from Ahmedabad to Mumbai with four people aboard. Contact with ATC was lost during the approach to Mumbai after the aircraft reported 4,000 feet, and it was later found on hills at Taloja, about 11 nautical miles east of the airports. All four occupants were killed and the aircraft was destroyed.
