## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

AT ABOUT 3:25PM LOCAL TIME, ON NOVEMBER 7, 2025, BEECHCRAFT KING AIR C90 AIRCRAFT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ ENCOUNTERED SEVERE TURBULENCE WHILE ON APPROACH TO NORTHERN COLORADO REGIONAL AIRPORT (FNL/KFNL). ALL FOUR OF THE OCCUPANTS SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. THE BEECHCRAFT KING AIR C90 AIRCRAFT WAS OPERATING A 14 CFR PART 135 AIR AMBULANCE FLIGHT FROM STEAMBOAT SPRINGS AIRPORT (SBS/KSBS) AND WAS ENROUTE TO DROP OFF A PATIENT IN FORT COLLINS, COLORADO.

SHORTLY AFTER PASSING THE NAXOS GPS FIX AND WHILE ON APPROACH TO RWY 15 AT KFNL, THE AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED SEVERE TURBULENCE LEADING TO AN UPSET ATTITUDE AND MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT DESCRIBED THE AIRCRAFT AS BEING IN AN UNCOMMANDED HARD RIGHT BANK, WITHOUT LOSING ALTITUDE. AT THE TIME OF THIS EVENT, THE AIRCRAFT’S ALTITUDE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,000 FEET, OR ABOUT 2,500 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL. THE OCCUPANTS DESCRIBED THE TURBULENCE AS TWO SEVERE JOLTS WITH SEVERAL SECONDS LAPSED IN BETWEEN. THERE WAS MINOR TURBULENCE LEADING UP TO THE EVENT, AND MINOR TURBULENCE AS THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED FOR LANDING. ALL FOUR OCCUPANTS (PIC, NURSE, PARAMEDIC, AND PATIENT) REPORTED HITTING THEIR HEADS ON THE CEILING OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE NURSE SUSTAINED A MINOR CUT TO THEIR FACE FROM A LOOSE OBJECT IN THE CABIN. THERE WAS INITIAL CONCERN THAT THE OCCUPANTS, INCLUDING THE PILOT, MAY HAVE SUFFERED A CONCUSSION. HOWEVER, ALL OCCUPANTS WERE EVALUATED AT A HOSPITAL UPON LANDING AND LATER RELEASED WITH NO FURTHER TREATMENT REQUIRED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
