Unstabilized Approach Led to Bin Laden Family-owned Phenom Crash
The company's crew did not often make visual circuit arrivals other than at Blackbushe.

The pilot's decision to continue a high-speed steep visual approach to London-area Blackbushe Airport in the UK resulted in the July 4, 2015 fatal crash of an Embraer Phenom 300 operated by the Bin Laden family-owned Salem Aviation, the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) determined in its December 8 final report. Mitigating circumstances included excessive stimulation from aural warnings distracting the single pilot and a locked gate that delayed fire and rescue crews. All four aboard—the pilot and three passengers—were killed in the accident.
