- Date: February 17, 2023
- Aircraft: Honda HA-420 HondaJet
- Location: Houston-William P. Hobby, Texas, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot lost directional control during landing, causing a runway excursion. Contributing: the decision to land with a crosswind above the airplane's limit (NTSB).
A HondaJet landed in a gusting crosswind at Houston Hobby 14 knots over reference speed, touched down about 2,000 feet from the threshold and drifted off the runway into the grass. The outboard right wing separated. The NTSB blamed loss of directional control and landing in a crosswind above limits.
