- Date: November 13, 2000
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 90 King Air
- Location: Reims-Prunay, Marne, France
- Fatalities: 2

- Cause: The single-engine go-around exercise was carried out at low height in an unfavourable configuration, leading to loss of control (BEA findings, as summarized in secondary sources).
A Champagne Airlines King Air E90 with an instructor and a pilot in training was flying a simulated single-engine go-around at low height on approach to Reims-Prunay. The aircraft rolled left, lost height and crashed in an open field 425 metres short of the runway, where it burst into flames. Both pilots were killed.
