- Date: May 10, 2014
- Aircraft: Cessna 207 Skywagon/Stationair
- Location: Page, Arizona, United States
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: NTSB: pilot's inability to maintain airplane control due to partial loss of engine power and an encounter with downdrafts and gusting crosswinds on final approach. The reason for the engine power loss could not be determined. (Stated in the input record; not independently confirmed from the NTSB report.)
A Cessna 207 operated by American Aviation on a local sightseeing flight from Page, Arizona, lost partial engine power and the pilot turned back toward the airport. On final approach in gusty, downdraft conditions the aircraft landed hard short of the runway and nosed over, coming to rest inverted. One passenger died, and the other occupants were injured or unhurt. The engine showed no mechanical failure on examination, and the reason for the power loss could not be determined.
