- Date: December 4, 2020
- Aircraft: Cessna 303 Crusader
- Location: Annecy-Meythet, Haute-Savoie, France
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Late descent, continued unstabilized approach, long and fast touchdown on a wet runway with aquaplaning.
A Cessna T303 Crusader on a private flight from Marseille landed halfway down the runway at Annecy at 119 knots after an unstabilized, high approach. It aquaplaned on the wet runway, overran, hit an embankment and a fence and stopped on a road. The BEA attributed the accident to the late descent, continuing the unstabilized approach and the long, fast landing.
