- Date: August 21, 2003
- Aircraft: Piper PA-31-310 Navajo
- Location: Clearwater Air Park, Florida, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The flightcrew failed to maintain airspeed, which led to an inadvertent stall, an uncontrolled descent and collision with the ground.
A Piper Navajo, registered N93DC, was on a training flight from Saint Augustine to Clearwater in rain and wet conditions. It made a low, unstable approach and, after a go-around attempt, stalled and spun into a residential area. A post-crash fire destroyed much of the airplane. Both occupants were killed.
