- Date: November 19, 2013
- Aircraft: Socata TBM-700
- Location: Mouffy, Yonne, France
- Fatalities: 6
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: Loss of control for reasons the BEA could not determine. The pilot's limited TBM 700 experience and the absence of visual references likely overloaded him, and icing was judged unlikely as the main factor.
A TBM 700 with a pilot and five passengers drifted off airway during descent near Auxerre. When ATC pointed out the deviation, the pilot turned right but lost control. The aircraft entered a steep dive and broke up on impact in an open field. All six occupants were killed.
