- Date: March 17, 2002
- Aircraft: Piper PA-31-310 Navajo
- Location: Anderson-Darlington Field, Indiana, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Pilot's failure to maintain control during the instrument approach, with an in-flight decision to continue the approach below minimum weather conditions as a contributing factor.
A Floopie Flight Corporation Piper Navajo flying an IFR flight from LaGrange was cleared for an ILS approach to Anderson in low cloud and visibility of about 1 mile. The aircraft descended below the minimum descent altitude and struck the ground about 3.7 miles from the airport, killing the pilot and his passenger. No mechanical anomaly was found.
