- Date: March 14, 2016
- Aircraft: Beechcraft Beechjet 400
- Location: Rome-Richard B. Russell, Georgia, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: NTSB (as summarized in secondary sources): the pilots failed to recognize performance cues and use available wind information showing a significant tailwind, and did not conduct a go around, so the landing with a tailwind caused the runway overrun and nose landing gear collapse.
On 14 March 2016 a Beechjet 400A (N465FL) on a positioning flight from Jackson, Michigan, landed at Rome, Georgia, in gusty tailwind conditions. The aircraft was fast and used more runway than available, overran the end of runway 7 through grass and mud, and its nose landing gear collapsed. Both pilots survived with no injuries.
