- Date: January 13, 1998
- Aircraft: Learjet 25
- Location: Houston-George Bush-Intercontinental, Texas, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew descended below the glideslope and decision height without visual contact after a transfer of control, aggravated by a false glideslope indication from an unrepaired fault and by poor crew coordination.
A Learjet 25 positioning for a revenue flight to Fargo crashed short of the runway during a second ILS approach in instrument conditions. The aircraft had a failed navigation receiver amplifier that showed a false glideslope, and the operator had deferred that repair. Both crew members were killed.
