- Date: June 26, 2003
- Aircraft: Cessna 414 Chancellor
- Location: Fort Myers, Florida, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed after the loss of power from the right engine, which led to a stall and collision with trees and terrain, and his failure to feather the right propeller. His limited experience on the type was also a factor.
A Cessna 414 on a private flight from West Palm Beach to Fort Myers lost power from the right engine on base leg after the pilot had reportedly checked fuel only visually. Its propeller was not feathered and the aircraft stalled and hit trees and terrain, killing two of the four occupants.
