- Date: February 8, 2021
- Aircraft: Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100
- Location: Paris-Le Bourget, Seine-Saint-Denis, France
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew flew the approach with non icing speeds and deactivated the de ice system, so ice built up and the aircraft stalled close to the ground. The stall warning protection was also not set for the icing conditions.
A Luxwing Phenom 100 flying from Venice to Paris Le Bourget approached in known severe icing but used the non icing approach speed and switched off the de ice system after one cycle. Ice built up again, the aircraft stalled on short final and landed hard, then slid about 1,050 metres along runway 27 and caught fire. The occupants evacuated and the BEA blamed the crew's choice of approach procedure.
