- Date: January 24, 2006
- Aircraft: Cessna 560 Citation V
- Location: Carlsbad, California, United States
- Fatalities: 4
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The captain's delayed go-around decision after a fast approach, a tailwind landing and a long touchdown, according to NTSB findings as summarized by secondary sources.
A Cessna Citation V operated on a Part 91 flight landed at Carlsbad in visual conditions with a six-knot tailwind. The jet touched down long and fast, and the captain delayed the go-around until the first officer prompted him. The aircraft lifted off but struck a localizer antenna platform, then flew on and hit terrain and a storage building beyond the runway, killing all four people aboard.
