- Location: Hiroshima, Chūgoku, Japan
- Fatalities: 1

- Cause: Controlled flight into terrain during a night approach in marginal weather, by a pilot unfamiliar with night operations whose capacity was probably reduced by alcohol consumption.
A Cessna 208B Grand Caravan on a ferry flight from Okayama to Hiroshima struck the southeast slope of Mt Noboru Lu about 15 km from the airport while descending at night in rain. The sole pilot was killed. Investigators found he was unfamiliar with night operations and was probably impaired by alcohol.
