- Date: June 26, 2017
- Aircraft: Cessna 207 Skywagon/Stationair
- Location: Vinalhaven, Maine, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: NTSB: The pilot's failure to maintain a stabilized approach, which resulted in a bounced landing and a go around with insufficient clearance over trees during the climb.
A Cessna 207 Stationair operated by Penobscot Island Air was flying cargo from Rockland to Vinalhaven, Maine, on 26 June 2017. It bounced hard on the short gravel runway and the go around failed to clear the trees, so it struck the canopy and descended into terrain. The pilot survived, and the NTSB attributed the accident to an unstabilized approach.
