- Date: February 14, 2025
- Aircraft: Cessna 208A Caravan
- Location: Pierson, Florida, United States
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: NTSB preliminary report (ERA25FA119): the initial examination found no mechanical or flight control failure before impact, the aircraft was on a normal course and suddenly descended faster than 200 ft per second, and the pilot's medical condition (diabetes effects) could not be ruled out. The BAAA summary gives continued VFR flight into instrument conditions and spatial disorientation as the final NTSB cause, which could not be verified.
A skydiving Cessna 208A on a repositioning flight dived into woodland in Flagler County, Florida, at dusk. The pilot died. NTSB found no sign of a mechanical fault.
