- Date: October 17, 2019
- Aircraft: Saab 2000
- Location: Unalaska-Tom Madsen (Dutch Harbor), Alaska, United States
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Incorrect wiring of the wheel speed transducer harnesses on the left main landing gear during overhaul disabled antiskid protection, causing tire failure, loss of braking and a runway overrun
A PenAir Saab 2000 on a scheduled flight from Anchorage landed on runway 13 at Unalaska with a tailwind, braked hard and overran the end of the runway, breaking through the perimeter fence and stopping on the shore of Iliuliuk Bay. One passenger died a day later and several others were injured. The NTSB attributed the accident to incorrect wiring of the wheel speed transducer harnesses on the left main landing gear during overhaul.
