- Date: May 5, 2010
- Aircraft: Embraer ERJ-145
- Location: Mitú-Fabio Alberto León Bentley, Vaupés, Colombia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Continued approach while unstable and a late, fast touchdown caused by poor crew technique, deviation from SOPs and no reaction to the EGPWS alarm. A right thrust reverser that deployed and retracted was a contributing factor.
A SATENA Embraer ERJ-145 landed on runway 20 at Mitu after an unstable approach, touching down about 562 m past the threshold at 132 knots. It could not stop on the 1,760 m runway, went through the perimeter fence and came to rest in a field. All 41 occupants were uninjured, but the jet was damaged beyond repair.
