- Date: July 17, 2007
- Aircraft: Embraer ERJ-190
- Location: Santa Marta-Simón Bolívar, Magdalena, Colombia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Continued unstabilized approach and landing at excessive speed on a wet runway, with the aircraft crossing the threshold about 41 knots fast. Contributing factors were loss of speed awareness after the autopilot was disconnected, no speed call-outs from the pilot monitoring, and a delayed go-around.
An AeroRepublica Embraer 190 landing at Santa Marta-Simon Bolivar ran off the end of runway 01 in heavy rain after an unstabilized, fast approach. The crew landed with only about 490 metres of runway left, could not stop, went through a fence and down an embankment, and the cockpit came to rest in the sea. All 60 occupants got out safely, but the aircraft was written off.
