- Date: June 4, 2023
- Aircraft: Cessna 560 Citation V
- Location: Staunton, Virginia, United States
- Fatalities: 4
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: Pilot incapacitation due to loss of cabin pressure for undetermined reasons. Contributing: the decision to operate without supplemental oxygen (NTSB).
A Cessna Citation V flew on autopilot after the pilot became incapacitated, climbed to 34,000 feet and overflew its destination, then descended in a spiral near Staunton, Virginia, after US fighters intercepted it. All four aboard died. The NTSB blamed pilot incapacitation from loss of cabin pressure and the lack of supplemental oxygen.
