- Date: September 30, 2005
- Aircraft: Cessna 421C Golden Eagle III
- Location: Northrepps, Norfolk, United Kingdom
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot did not calculate landing performance from the flight manual. With the wet grass and the wind, the braking was insufficient to stop, and the touchdown point and speed were not recorded, so the exact cause of the overrun cannot be fixed.
The Cessna 421C landed on the short, wet grass at Northrepps. The pilot had made an approach to runway 18, went around and landed on runway 36, but the aircraft had almost no braking. It overran the strip, crossed the overrun, went over an earth bank and stopped on a public road. All three occupants left without difficulty.
