- Date: September 23, 2003
- Aircraft: Cessna 402
- Location: Nantucket, Massachusetts, United States
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain control of the aircraft during a missed approach, with fog and night light conditions as factors.
A Cessna 402C cargo flight from Hyannis to Nantucket crashed about 3,500 feet beyond the approach end of the runway during a night ILS approach in fog. The witness heard the aircraft overhead, apparently on a missed approach, and then it impacted the ground to the left of centreline. There was no pre-impact mechanical malfunction.
