- Date: December 29, 2000
- Aircraft: Bae Jetstream 41
- Location: Charlottesville, Virginia, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The captain's improper application of power after responding to a beta warning light during the landing rollout, which led to excessive rollout speed and the aircraft could not stop before the runway end (NTSB).
A United Express BAe Jetstream 41 landing at Charlottesville overran the runway after the captain moved the power levers through the beta range and into flight idle while braking. The pilot had responded to a red beta light and then applied power inappropriately during the rollout. The aircraft left the far end of the runway, dropped over an embankment and came to rest at the bottom, with no fatalities among the 15 passengers and crew.
