- Date: January 13, 2005
- Aircraft: Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirante
- Location: Keene-Dillant-Hopkins, New Hampshire, United States
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's decision to attempt a single-engine missed approach at slow airspeed with full flaps, which caused a minimum control speed roll. Contributing factors were an inoperative engine for undetermined reasons, the decision to divert to an airport with low ceilings and visibility, failure to seek ATC or company assistance, and fog and low ceilings at night.
An Embraer Bandeirante operated by AirNow on a cargo flight lost power on one engine during a night flight. The pilot chose to fly a single-engine precision approach in low cloud and fog instead of the closer home airport, then attempted a missed approach at slow speed with full flaps. The aircraft rolled at minimum control speed and the pilot was killed.
