- Date: December 21, 2008
- Aircraft: Dassault Falcon 20
- Location: Jamestown-Chautauqua County, New York, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Inability to stop on the icy runway, with the failure of the drag chute to deploy as a factor. The reason the drag chute did not deploy was not determined.
A Falcon 20 cargo jet landed at night at Jamestown, New York, on a runway covered with ice and thin snow. The crew could not stop the aircraft, the drag chute did not come out of its container, and the jet ran about 100 feet past the runway end into a snow berm. Both crew members survived, and the nose gear and fuselage were damaged.
