- Date: February 27, 2018
- Aircraft: Quest Kodiak 100
- Location: Georgetown, Florida, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: NTSB: Spatial disorientation of the pilots in an unlit aircraft at night and uncontrolled descent.
A Quest Kodiak 100 returning to Welaka, Florida at night descended in a series of turns and crashed into a river about one mile from the airport. Both occupants were killed. The NTSB found no mechanical failure and concluded that spatial disorientation, likely a black hole illusion over unlit terrain, caused the uncontrolled descent.
