- Date: May 27, 1994
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 90 King Air
- Location: Mindelheim-Mattsies, Bavaria, Germany
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: A missing fuel filler cap caused fuel leakage and an emergency return. The aircraft then stalled in a steep turn at low altitude with insufficient speed and height to recover.
A Beechcraft King Air 90 operated by Grob Aerospace returned to Mindelheim-Mattsies after takeoff because a fuel filler cap was missing and fuel was leaking. During a sharp right turn at low altitude the aircraft stalled and crashed in a field less than 2 km from the airfield. The sole pilot was killed.
