Colgan Air Beech 1900D

Main wikipage: Colgan Air Beech 1900D
On August 26, 2003, a Colgan Air Beech 1900D crashed just after takeoff from Hyannis, Massachusetts. Both pilots were killed.
The improper replacement of the forward elevator trim cable and subsequent inadequate functional check of the maintenance performed that resulted in a reversal of the elevator trim system and a loss of control in flight. Factors were the flight crew's failure to follow the checklist procedures and the aircraft manufacturer's erroneous depiction of the elevator trim drum in the maintenance manual.
