- Date: December 21, 2021
- Aircraft: Cessna 208B Grand Caravan
- Location: Fulshear, Texas, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: The limitations of the see and avoid concept for self separation of aircraft, which resulted in an inflight collision. Contributing was the absence of collision avoidance technology on both aircraft.
A Martinaire Cessna 208B on a cargo flight from Houston to Victoria collided in cruise at 5,000 ft with a powered paraglider near Fulshear, Texas. The outer part of the Cessna's right wing separated and the airplane hit the ground, killing both the Cessna pilot and the paraglider operator. The NTSB found that see and avoid could not prevent the collision.
