- Date: December 21, 2015
- Aircraft: Embraer ERJ-190
- Location: Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: KNKT: Improper flight management on approach left the aircraft not fully configured for landing, with prolonged high speed on touchdown and low brake pressure application giving insufficient runway for deceleration; contributing were a steep flight deck authority gradient and an operator oversight system that did not detect the deviation.
An Embraer 195 operated by Kalstar Aviation on scheduled flight KD676 landed at Kupang on 21 December 2015 after continuing a high and fast approach despite EGPWS and high speed warnings. The aircraft touched down late at about 205 knots, could not stop and overran the runway by about 200 metres. No one was injured, and KNKT attributed the event to poor flight management and weak operator oversight of pilot performance.
