- Date: October 25, 2018
- Aircraft: Piper PA-31 Cheyenne
- Location: Atlantic Ocean, World
- Fatalities: 5
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: NTSB: In flight loss of control leading to impact with water. The specific reason could not be determined because the airplane was not recovered.
A Piper PA 31T Cheyenne carrying two pilots and three passengers left South Carolina for the Bahamas and disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean about 30 minutes after takeoff. After a garbled emergency call the aircraft descended rapidly, consistent with a loss of control, and radar contact was lost. The airplane was never recovered and all five occupants were killed, and the investigation could not determine the cause.
