- Date: July 18, 2021
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 90 King Air
- Location: Durango, Durango, Mexico
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Poor cockpit management of an unstabilised approach, with a descent below minimum altitude without visual contact and no missed approach, linked to inadequate crew training and supervision and a drainage ditch beside the runway.
A Beechcraft King Air on a positioning flight from San Luis Potosà flew an unstable approach to Durango. The crew descended below the minimum descent altitude without seeing the runway, struck the runway and then a drainage ditch, and the aircraft came to rest inverted and burned. One occupant was killed and the other pilot was seriously injured.
