- Date: March 2, 1997
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 200 Super King Air
- Location: Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot failed to maintain adequate airspeed on the ILS approach, resulting in a stall. Low visibility, use of the wrong DME for the approach, and insufficient altitude for stall recovery were contributing factors.
A Beechcraft Super King Air operated for Coast Hotels and Casinos was flying an ILS approach to Salt Lake City in snow showers and reduced visibility. The aircraft slowed to stall speed while on the glide slope, dropped below it and crashed short of the runway. One passenger was killed and the other occupants were seriously injured.
