- Date: December 24, 2004
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 90 King Air
- Location: Montpellier-Méditerranée, Hérault, France
- Fatalities: 3
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Loss of control after a one-engine go-around, attributed to inadequate control management by the pilot under training and a late reaction by the examiner, with the examiner's limited recent BE90 instruction experience as a possible contributor. No technical fault was found.
A BE90 King Air on a type-rating training flight at Montpellier made a touch and go, then a low pass on one engine. It turned left, lost height and rolled into a pond beside the runway. All three occupants were killed.
