- Date: February 9, 2007
- Aircraft: Cessna 414 Chancellor
- Location: Rocksprings, Texas, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot failed to maintain clearance from terrain while circling, in weather below the approach minimums. Drizzle and mist were contributing factors.
A Cessna 414 on a business flight from Houston circled to land at an uncontrolled airport in mist and drizzle after an instrument approach. It struck terrain while circling, and a post-impact fire consumed part of the airframe. Both occupants died, and the NTSB found no mechanical anomalies.
