- Date: October 25, 1986
- Aircraft: Boeing 737-200
- Location: Charlotte-Douglas, North Carolina, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The captain did not stabilize the approach or go around and landed long and fast on a wet runway with poor friction, with less effective deceleration and weak crew coordination also contributing.
Piedmont Airlines Flight 467 from Newark landed on a wet runway at Charlotte Douglas in fog and light rain, about 3,200 feet past the threshold and too fast. The aircraft ran off the end, struck an ILS antenna and a culvert, went through a fence and stopped beside railroad tracks. No one was killed.
