- Date: January 5, 1994
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 90 King Air
- Location: Okeechobee, Florida, United States
- Fatalities: 10
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's improper response to a right engine power anomaly and inadequate airspeed during a go-around led to loss of control; contributing factors were a failed fuel control bearing, incomplete maintenance and the pilot's unfamiliarity with the type.
A King Air C90 on a private flight from Kissimmee to Miami reported an indication problem and then engine trouble, and the pilot tried to reach a road. The aircraft banked steeply, descended nose-down and crashed in a fire. All ten people aboard died. A teardown found a failed right engine fuel control bearing and a service bulletin had not been complied with.
