- Date: January 27, 2000
- Aircraft: Mitsubishi MU-300 Diamond
- Location: Dallas-Love Field, Texas, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Diminished effectiveness of the anti-skid braking on a slush-contaminated runway, with freezing rain on approach and failure of the horizontal stabilizer heat.
A Mitsubishi MU-300 Diamond landing at Dallas Love Field on a slush-covered runway had its horizontal stabilizer heat fail and its anti-skid unavailable after freezing rain. It touched down 1,500 feet down the runway and, to avoid poles beyond the runway, left the side and started down an embankment, where the nose gear collapsed. All occupants survived.
