- Date: June 17, 2011
- Aircraft: Dassault Falcon 10
- Location: Toronto-Buttonville, Ontario, Canada
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: An unstabilized approach with excessive airspeed, poor adherence to standard operating procedures and crew resource management, and a decision to continue despite GPWS warnings and a missed approach call. Loss of directional control at touchdown led to the runway excursion.
A Skycharter Dassault Falcon 10 positioning from Toronto Pearson to Buttonville overshot the runway centerline on final and touched down beyond the threshold with excessive speed. It left the runway, crossed the infield, struck a runway identification sign while avoiding parked aircraft, and stopped upright without fire. Both pilots were uninjured.
