- Date: July 31, 2015
- Aircraft: Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300
- Location: Blackbushe, Hampshire, United Kingdom
- Fatalities: 4
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: AAIB final report (as summarized by AAIB and SKYbrary): no pre existing technical defect; the aircraft crossed the threshold 43 kt above target speed, and several factors combined to create a very high pilot workload that likely saturated his mental capacity, leading him to continue the unstable approach towards a short runway.
An Embraer Phenom 300 (HZ IBN) owned by Salem Aviation flew a single pilot approach to Blackbushe, Hampshire, on 31 July 2015 with three passengers aboard. It arrived high and fast, touched down 710 m beyond the threshold at about 134 KIAS, and overran the runway end into an earth bank and a car park, where the wing separated and a fire broke out. All four occupants survived the impact but died in the fire.
