- Date: October 17, 2007
- Aircraft: Learjet 35
- Location: Goodland, Kansas, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The NTSB determined the pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control during landing was the probable cause. Yaw damper and spoileron computer anomalies were found but were not considered to have prevented control.
A Learjet 35A on a flight from Fort Worth to Goodland, Kansas broke out of cloud about 250 feet above the ground, slightly left of the runway centerline. The airplane rolled hard right, then hard left as the pilot corrected, and impacted the ground in a right-wing-low attitude. The aircraft was substantially damaged, and both crew survived.
