- Aircraft: Cessna 560 Citation V
- Location: Pueblo, Colorado, United States

- Cause: Crew failed to monitor and maintain airspeed and to follow deice boot procedures on approach, causing an aerodynamic stall; the FAA's icing certification standards were a contributing factor (NTSB)
A Cessna Citation V flying for Circuit City crashed during an ILS approach to Pueblo in icing conditions. The NTSB found the crew failed to monitor airspeed and to activate the deice boots, which led to an aerodynamic stall. All eight people aboard were killed and the airplane was destroyed by impact and fire.
