- Date: May 23, 2011
- Aircraft: Cessna 207 Skywagon/Stationair
- Location: Monument Valley, Utah, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's decision to go around after a bounced landing at an airport where go-arounds were not advised, and his failure to maintain adequate airspeed during the go-around.
An Air Grand Canyon Cessna T207A on a sightseeing flight into Monument Valley, a high-altitude airfield with a cliff near the runway, bounced on landing. The pilot initiated a go-around and turned away from the runway without enough airspeed, and the aircraft stalled and struck the ground. No one was injured, but the aircraft was substantially damaged.
