- Aircraft: Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500
- Location: Brunswick-Malcolm McKinnon, Georgia, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The control laws of the angle of attack limiter protection prevented it from disengaging in gusting wind, limiting the crew's pitch control and causing a hard landing (NTSB).
A Flexjet Embraer Praetor 500 approaching Brunswick, Georgia, in gusty wind porpoised, touched down hard before the threshold and ran off the right side of the runway. All eight aboard were unhurt. The NTSB found the angle of attack limiter protection kept the pitch control limited in gusts.
