E55P, Blackbushe UK, 2015

Summary

On 31 July 2015 a Saudi-operated Embraer Phenom on a private flight continued an unstabilised day visual approach to Blackbushe in benign weather conditions. The aircraft touched down with excess speed with almost 70% of the available landing distance behind the aircraft. It overran and was destroyed by impact damage and fire and all occupants died. The Investigation concluded that the combination of factors which created a very high workload for the pilot may have saturated his mental capacity, impeding his ability to handle new information and adapt his mental model leading to his continuation of a highly unstable approach.

Description

On 31 July 2015, an Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 (HZ-IBN) being operated by a single pilot and on a private flight from Milan Malpensa to Blackbushe overran the landing runway at destination after a long and fast touchdown following a day VMC visual approach. After hitting a small embankment just beyond the end of the runway, it collided with unoccupied parked cars and was destroyed by a combination of impact damages and an intense fire in which the pilot and three passengers were killed.
