- Date: November 10, 2000
- Aircraft: Cessna 425 Conquest
- Location: Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot-in-command's failure to maintain adequate airspeed with an asymmetric thrust condition, resulting in loss of control. Tampered autofeather pressure switches and an asymmetric engine condition were factors (NTSB).
A Cessna 425 Conquest on a post-maintenance test of its autofeather system at Idaho Falls lost control about two miles north of the airport after an asymmetric engine condition developed. Witnesses saw it bank left and enter a spiral. Both airline transport pilots on board were killed.
