- Date: May 5, 2021
- Aircraft: Gulfstream G150
- Location: Ridgeland, South Carolina, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew continued an unstable approach and the ground air brakes did not deploy after touchdown. Contributing were pressure to complete the flight quickly and a landing with a quartering tailwind above the aircraft limit.
A Gulfstream G150 flying from New Smyrna Beach to Ridgeland Claude Dean Airport landed about 1,000 ft down a 4,200 ft runway after a high and fast approach and overran into marshy ground about 400 ft beyond the end. All five occupants were uninjured. The NTSB cited the continued unstable approach and the failure of the ground air brakes to deploy.
