- Date: June 30, 2007
- Aircraft: Cessna 500 Citation
- Location: Conway, Arkansas, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's failure to fly a stabilized approach and his delayed decision to abort the landing. Standing water on the runway contributed.
A Cessna 500 Citation landed long on a wet runway at Conway, Arkansas, and was still fast when the pilot tried to abort with about a quarter of the runway left. It hit a jet-blast deflector, went through the perimeter fence and struck a house, and a post-impact fire destroyed both the aircraft and the house. The pilot and one person on the ground died; the passenger survived.
