​​On Februtiry 15, 1992, at 0326 eastern standard time, Air Transport International flight 805 crashed about 3 miles northwest of the Toledo Express Airport after executing a second missed approach to runway 7. Night instnunent flight conditions prevailed. The airplane was destroyed, and the flightcrew of three and a passenger onboard received fatal injuries. The airplane had departed Seattle, Washington, at 2145 and was operating as a scheduled domestic air freight carrier under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121.

​We determined ​that the probable cause of this accident was the failure of the flightcrew to properly recognize or recover in a timely manner from the unusual aircraft attitude that resulted from the captain's apparent spatial disorientation, resulting from physiological factors and/or a failed attitude director indicator.
