- Date: December 9, 2001
- Aircraft: Dassault Falcon 10
- Location: Lawrence, Kansas, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The copilot's failure to maintain control during landing, with the improperly set stabilizer trim, the inadequate pre-landing crew coordination, and the copilot not going around.
During a visual approach to Lawrence, the Falcon's nose pitched down near touchdown and the elevator would not respond fully. The aircraft hit the runway hard and stopped on it. The stabilizer was found set nose-down, and nobody was hurt.
