- Date: November 17, 2010
- Aircraft: Learjet 25
- Location: Portland-Hillsboro, Oregon, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew landed long on a wet runway with a tailwind and could not stop. Anti-skid performance was degraded, allowing reverted rubber hydroplaning, and the company quick-reference landing chart lacked tailwind correction factors.
A Learjet 25 on a positioning flight from Boise landed on a wet runway at Portland-Hillsboro with an 8-knot tailwind, touching down beyond the touchdown zone. The crew could not stop on the runway, the jet rolled through the runway end into soft ground, and the nose gear collapsed. No one was injured.
