- Date: December 9, 2008
- Aircraft: Mitsubishi MU-2 Marquise
- Location: Millington-Memphis, Tennessee, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's improper configuration of the aircraft after the engine shutdown, which led to a low, unstabilized approach. A loss of engine power for undetermined reasons was a contributing factor.
A Mitsubishi MU-2 was returning to Millington after the right engine lost power in heavy rain. The pilot did not raise the flaps after the engine was feathered, and he landed hard about two-thirds of the way down the runway and left the runway through a fence. Both occupants were uninjured.
