- Date: November 13, 1997
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 90 King Air
- Location: Wheeling-Ohio County, West Virginia, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot let airspeed fall below the minimum required in icing conditions, causing ice accumulation and an inadvertent stall on approach. The icing and the pilot's limited experience on the type were factors.
A Skyward Aviation King Air 90 at night in icing conditions had an engine fire on a missed approach and shut the engine down. On a later approach it touched down short, left the side of the runway and was substantially damaged. No one was injured.
