- Date: March 8, 2006
- Aircraft: Cessna 414 Chancellor
- Location: Kahului, Hawaii, United States
- Fatalities: 3
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's failure to execute single-engine emergency procedures, which allowed airspeed to fall below minimum controllable airspeed and led to a stall and roll. Contributing factors were the operator's inadequate single-engine training and an undetermined loss of power from the left engine.
A Hawaii Air Ambulance Cessna 414A on a positioning flight lost power from one engine on approach to Kahului. The pilot did not configure the aircraft for single-engine flight, the airspeed decayed below minimum controllable speed, and it rolled and struck the ground short of the runway. All three people on board were killed.
