- Date: April 13, 2022
- Aircraft: Cessna 208B Grand Caravan
- Location: Heyburn, Idaho, United States
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain altitude during an instrument approach caused a descent below the approach path and impact with a vent stack. Also causal: the processing plant's failure to paint the vent stacks (NTSB).
A GEM Air Cessna 208B on a cargo flight flew two instrument approaches to Burley in IMC, descended below the approach path during the second and hit a vent stack. The pilot died. The NTSB also blamed the processing plant for not painting the stacks that the FAA had flagged as a hazard.
