- Date: April 20, 2006
- Aircraft: Rockwell Sabreliner 75
- Location: Alexandria, Alexandria, Egypt
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The captain flew an incorrect approach configuration, landed while too high on the glide path, and did not go around despite three warnings from the copilot.
A Rockwell Sabreliner 75A on a positioning flight from Amman to Alexandria was too high on the glide path, but the captain continued the approach. The jet floated after the speed brakes were retracted and touched down far down the runway. It could not stop in the remaining distance and overran, and all three crew escaped uninjured.
