- Date: November 18, 1994
- Aircraft: Cessna 402
- Location: Hyannis-Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain a proper glide path during the ILS approach, which resulted in collision with power lines. Adverse weather with turbulence, downdrafts and fog was a factor.
A Cessna 402C on a positioning flight from Nantucket to Hyannis was flying an ILS approach to runway 15 at night in fog and rain when it struck static wires about 2 miles north of the runway. The local control tower was closed, and earlier aircraft had reported downdrafts that pushed them below the glide path. The pilot was killed and the aircraft destroyed.
