A Beechcraft 200 Super King Air (N80RT) on a Part 135 charter from Baudette to Moorhead, Minnesota, struck terrain short of Runway 30 at night on 23 November 2016 after the pilot began a missed approach in instrument conditions near minimums. The pilot and one passenger had minor injuries and no one was killed. The NTSB (case CEN17LA043) found the probable cause to be the pilot's failure to attain a positive climb rate during the missed approach, resulting in controlled flight into terrain.
