Preliminary Reports

Few Initial Clues to Air Ambulance Destruction

Beechcraft King Air 300, Aug. 5, 2025, Chinle, Arizona

The NTSB’s preliminary report provided little obvious insight into the air ambulance’s crash on approach to Chinle Municipal Airport, which killed all four crew members. The aircraft departed on a positioning flight from the Albuquerque, New Mexico International Sunport (KABQ) at 11:55 local time, climbed to a cruising altitude of 18,000 feet, and initiated a descent at 12:29. Ten minutes later, it entered the airport traffic pattern on a downwind leg for Runway 36. In the last ADS-B data point, the airplane was about 600 feet agl on a 2.8-mile final approach.
