- Date: February 6, 2007
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 200 Super King Air
- Location: East Bay Cay, Turks and Caicos Islands
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Excessive right bank soon after takeoff, leading to a descending turn that the pilot probably did not recognise in time. Spatial disorientation was probable, and alcohol consumption and single-pilot operation were contributory factors.
A single-pilot Super King Air took off at night from a small cay in the Turks and Caicos. It banked steeply soon after takeoff and descended in a turn, and the pilot probably became spatially disoriented. It struck shallow water and broke up. The pilot died, and the five passengers were injured.
