- Date: November 1, 2013
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 90 King Air
- Location: Springdale, Arkansas, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Total loss of power to both engines from fuel exhaustion. The pilot relied on the fuel totalizer instead of the fuel gauges and did not plan his fuel properly.
A King Air on a private flight from Pine Bluff to Bentonville asked to divert to a closer airport because it was low on fuel. It was cleared to land at Springdale, but the pilot reported he would not reach the runway. The aircraft struck a field about 3 miles from the airport after the pilot probably tried to avoid power lines and stalled. Both occupants were killed.
