- Date: August 13, 2005
- Aircraft: Cessna 425 Conquest
- Location: Denver-Centennial, Colorado, United States
- Fatalities: 4
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot did not follow the published ILS approach procedure and did not maintain the glideslope. The NTSB also cited his lack of a valid medical certificate, and the result was controlled flight into terrain.
A Cessna 425 Conquest operated by a private pilot was on a night ILS approach to Denver Centennial in instrument conditions after a flight from Sandpoint. The pilot said he was low, regained the glideslope briefly, and the aircraft struck hilly terrain about 2.6 nautical miles from the threshold and burned. All four people aboard were killed.
