- Date: October 31, 2011
- Aircraft: Gulfstream G150
- Location: Key West-Intl, Florida, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot in command failed to follow the normal landing procedure and delayed the decision to stop or go around, so reverse thrust was applied about 22 seconds late. The crew also did not follow emergency procedures for a perceived brake failure. The passenger seat was improperly installed, which worsened his injuries.
A Gulfstream G150 on a night private flight from Stuart landed long at Key West and touched down near the 1,000 foot marker. The crew used only the wheel brakes and delayed the thrust reverser and go-around decisions, and the jet ran off the end of the runway onto a gravel berm. During the impact one passenger seat dislodged from its track with the passenger still in it, and that passenger was injured.
