- Date: February 20, 2013
- Aircraft: Raytheon 390 Premier I
- Location: Thomson-McDuffie County, Georgia, United States
- Fatalities: 5
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The pilot's failure to follow the airplane flight manual procedures for an antiskid failure in flight and his failure to retract the lift dump during a go-around. Contributing factors were his lack of systems knowledge and fatigue from sleep loss.
A Raytheon (Beech) Premier I business jet on a night positioning flight from Nashville struck a utility pole and terrain during a go-around at Thomson-McDuffie, Georgia, and burned after the crash. Five passengers were killed and the two pilots were seriously injured. The NTSB found the pilot mishandled an in-flight antiskid failure and did not retract the lift dump during the go-around.
