- Date: January 7, 1994
- Aircraft: Bae Jetstream 41
- Location: Columbus-John Glenn (Port Columbus), Ohio, United States
- Fatalities: 5
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: An aerodynamic stall after the crew let airspeed decay during a poorly planned, unstabilized approach, compounded by an improper stall recovery and inadequate crew training and procedures.
A United Express flight from Washington to Columbus was flown on an ILS approach at high speed and without a stabilized configuration. The Jetstream 41 stalled about 1.2 nautical miles east of runway 28L and crashed. Five of the eight aboard died, including all three crew. The NTSB cited crew inexperience and training deficiencies alongside the approach handling.
