- Date: October 13, 2001
- Aircraft: Rockwell Grand Commander 690
- Location: Temecula-French Valley, California, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Misrigging of the engine controls, which produced asymmetric reverse thrust during the landing roll.
A Rockwell Grand Commander on a positioning flight from Flagstaff to Temecula landed and, during deceleration, the airplane veered left when the right engine did not go into reverse. The pilot tried a takeoff at high speed, and the aircraft went off the runway end and struck a boundary fence. Both occupants survived.
