- Date: September 27, 2018
- Aircraft: Dassault Falcon 50
- Location: Greenville-Downtown, South Carolina, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: NTSB: The operator allowed flight with known, unresolved maintenance problems, and the crew did not correctly configure the emergency or parking brake system, so the aircraft could not be stopped on landing.
A Dassault Falcon 50 on an air taxi flight from St Petersburg to Greenville landed with its normal braking system malfunctioning and overran the runway into terrain. Both pilots were killed and the two passengers survived. The NTSB cited the operator's decision to fly with known unresolved maintenance discrepancies and the crew's failure to use the emergency brake system.
