- Date: June 25, 2021
- Aircraft: Cessna 208B Grand Caravan
- Location: Teuge, Gelderland, Netherlands
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Uncommanded propeller feathering caused by damage in the propeller governor, most probably from incorrect installation of the magnetic pick up during maintenance, since the final voltage check was not performed.
A Cessna 208B skydiving aircraft lost engine power about 400 feet above the field shortly after takeoff from Teuge with 17 parachutists aboard. The pilot made an emergency landing in a field and one parachutist suffered minor injuries. The Dutch Safety Board traced the failure to an incorrectly installed magnetic pick up in the propeller governor.
