- Date: March 4, 2013
- Aircraft: Raytheon 390 Premier I
- Location: Annemasse, Haute-Savoie, France
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The pilot did not appreciate the risk of ground ice and took off with contamination on the critical airframe surfaces. The contamination caused an aerodynamic stall and loss of control shortly after lift-off (BEA findings as summarised in the input record).
A Raytheon Premier I positioning flight from Annemasse to Geneva took off in icing conditions after the aircraft had been parked overnight. It climbed poorly, banked sharply and stalled repeatedly, then struck houses and a garden about 100 m past the touchdown area and burned. The pilot and a front-seat passenger were killed and a rear passenger was seriously injured.
