- Date: February 22, 2008
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 1900D
- Location: Kayenta-Peabody Bedard Field, Arizona, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew did not execute a missed approach after descending below minimums with visibility below the required value. The slush-contaminated runway and inoperative runway lights were contributing factors, per the investigation summary.
A Beechcraft 1900D carrying Peabody Energy staff from Flagstaff to Kayenta landed on a slush-covered runway in light snow and reduced visibility. The aircraft did not slow down, ran off the end of the runway through a fence and onto rough terrain, and its landing gear collapsed. No one was hurt, but the aircraft was written off.
