- Date: December 22, 2011
- Aircraft: Cessna 441 Conquest
- Location: York, Pennsylvania, United States
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot failed to maintain minimum control airspeed after the right engine lost power, which led to an uncontrolled roll and stall-spin. The cause of the engine failure was not determined.
A Cessna 441 Conquest flown alone by its pilot lost its right engine during a night visual approach to York. The pilot turned toward the failed engine while still at altitude, the airplane rolled over and descended nearly vertically, and it hit the ground in a right spin. The pilot was killed, and investigators found no mechanical reason for the engine loss.
