- Date: January 8, 2003
- Aircraft: Raytheon 390 Premier I
- Location: Santo Domingo-Herrera, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Failure of the lift-dump spoilers after touchdown, leaving insufficient runway to stop; the failure led to an airworthiness directive on landing distances.
A Raytheon Premier I on a positioning flight landed at Herrera airport in Santo Domingo in visual conditions. The lift-dump spoilers failed to deploy properly, so the aircraft could not stop on the remaining runway. It ran across a road and came to rest inverted, with minor injuries to the four people on board. Sources give either January 7 or January 8 for the date.
