- Date: October 7, 2002
- Aircraft: Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2
- Location: Dexter, Maine, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's improper decision to land at excessive speed and his delayed decision to abort the landing, which resulted in a runway overrun. A tailwind was a contributing factor.
A Cessna Citation CJ2 flying a VFR approach into Dexter, Maine with a tailwind landed well past the threshold at excessive speed. The pilot initiated a go-around late after brake and spoiler problems, and the jet ran off the end of the 3,009 foot runway. The NTSB found the approach unstabilized and the touchdown too long for the runway.
