'''CommutAir Flight 4821''', a [[Beechcraft 1900|Raytheon Beech 1900C Airliner]] operated by [[CommutAir]] for [[USAir Express]], crashed on January 3, 1992. The Beech 1900C was flying from [[Plattsburgh, New York|Plattsburgh]] to [[Saranac Lake, New York|Saranac Lake]] when it crashed into wooded mountaintop as it was landing at [[Adirondack Regional Airport]]. Of the 4 people onboard (2 passengers and 2 crew) 2 were killed while the other 2 sustained serious injuries. The cause of the crash was determined to be pilot error in establishing a stabilized approach and cross-checking instruments. Factors related to the accident were: weather conditions and possible precipitation static interference, caused by inadequate grounding between the radome and fuselage that could have resulted in unreliable glide slope indications."<ref>"[http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19920103-0 ASN Aircraft accident Beechcraft 1900C-1 N55000 Saranac Lake-Adirondack Airport, NY (SLK)]."
