- Date: February 19, 2014
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 100 King Air
- Location: Pearland, Texas, United States
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: NTSB: The noninstrument rated pilot's loss of airplane control during a missed instrument approach. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's decision to file an instrument flight rules flight plan and to fly into known instrument meteorological conditions.
On 19 February 2014 a TDC Aviation Beechcraft B100 King Air (N811BL) flying from Austin to Galveston, Texas, was cleared for the RNAV approach to Pearland Regional Airport in instrument conditions. After the pilot reported a missed approach the aircraft disappeared from radar and struck terrain near Pearland, Texas, nose first, and the sole occupant was killed. The NTSB attributed the accident to the noninstrument rated pilot's loss of control during the missed approach (case CEN14FA145).
