- Date: June 30, 2015
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 99 Airliner
- Location: Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: NTSB (WPR15LA203): unmanageable right yaw during takeoff for reasons that could not be determined, because postaccident examination of the rudder and rudder assembly revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
On 30 June 2015 an Ameriflight Beechcraft 99 on a cargo flight to Ely began its takeoff roll at Salt Lake City International Airport. After rotation at about 100 knots it yawed uncommanded to the right, and both pilots could not correct it with the left rudder. The crew landed on the left side of the runway, the left landing gear collapsed and the aircraft slid to a stop on its side; both pilots were uninjured. The NTSB could not determine the cause because the rudder and rudder assembly showed no anomalies.
