- Date: October 10, 2006
- Aircraft: BAe 146
- Location: Stord-Sørstokken, Hordaland, Norway
- Fatalities: 4
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The AIBN attributed the accident to a combination of factors: spoiler failure from mechanical or micro-switch faults, locked wheels on the emergency brake causing reverted rubber hydroplaning, and an airport safety area that did not meet standards, which increased the severity.
Atlantic Airways flight FLI670, a BAe 146, overran the runway at Stord after the spoilers failed to deploy and the crew used emergency brakes on a damp, ungrooved runway. The aircraft slid down a slope and caught fire, and four people died. The surviving passengers evacuated through the left cockpit window and rear door.
