- Date: January 9, 2007
- Aircraft: BAe Jetstream 31
- Location: Fort Saint John, British Columbia, Canada
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: A late full flap selection at 300 feet agl destabilized the approach, and both pilots stopped monitoring the instruments, including the glide slope, once the approach lights came into view. A significant low deviation in low visibility went unnoticed until the aircraft was in the approach lights.
A Peace Air Jetstream 31 on scheduled flight PEA905 from Grande Prairie touched down about 320 feet short of runway 29 at Fort St. John in heavy snow and blowing snow. It struck approach and threshold lights, its right main and nose gear collapsed, and it came to rest on the side of the runway. No one aboard was injured.
