Incident Overview
Description
The Learjet 45 operating as Jett Aircraft flight 3 sustained substantial damage subsequent to impact with airport fencing following the runway overrun at Batesville Regional Airport (BVX/KBVX), Arkansas. The two pilots sustained minor injuries and the six passengers were not injured. During the arrival to BVX, a non-towered airport, the air traffic controller cleared the airplane for the RNAV (GPS) Rwy 8 approach and the crew cancelled IFR after visually acquiring the runway environment. The airplane crossed the final approach fix at 265 knots ADS-B groundspeed and the Runway 8 threshold at 190 knots ADS-B groundspeed. The airplane landed about 2,000 ft past the threshold of the 6,022 ft runway, which was wet due to earlier precipitation. Tire marks consistent with intermittent braking application started about 3,021 ft from the end of the runway. Tire marks consistent with continuous anti-skid braking application began about 2,069 ft from the end of the runway and continued until the end of the runway. The airplane exited the runway at an airspeed of about 100 knots ADS-B groundspeed, then continued forward and struck a ditch and the airport perimeter fence 370 m past the runway end besides U.S. Route 167.. During the collision with the fence the forward fuselage sustained substantial damage. Probable Cause: The crew’s failure to execute a go-around during the unstable approach and long landing, which resulted in a runway excursion.
