- Date: November 22, 1994
- Aircraft: Cessna 441 Conquest
- Location: Saint Louis-Lambert, Missouri, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Taxi
- Cause: The Cessna pilot's mistaken belief that his assigned departure runway was 30R, which led to his undetected entry onto the runway in use by the MD-82. The lack of ATIS and ATC information about occasional use of runway 31 contributed, and ASDE-3 with AMASS could have prevented the accident.
A Cessna 441 taxied onto runway 30R at St. Louis Lambert while a TWA MD-82 was taking off from it. The Cessna pilot had mistakenly believed his departure runway was 30R, and controllers could not see the aircraft after it left the well-lit ramp. The MD-82 struck the Cessna, killing both occupants of the Cessna.
