- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing

A Rockwell Grand Commander 680E on a personal flight from Weiser to Boise crashed while approaching Boise on 21 September 2015. Witnesses described engines that sounded out of sync and popping and banging, and the aircraft made a hard right turn before striking terrain near the runway. Post accident examination of both engines and the rudder found no malfunction that would have precluded normal operation, so the NTSB could not determine the reason for the engine problem.
