A review of U.S.-registered business turbine airplane accidents from 2010 through 2016 by AIN reveals that during the seven-year period there were 406 total accidents—141 involving jets and 265 involving turboprops. By far the most numerous type of accident during the study period was the runway excursion, primarily on landing, though typically the damage in these mishaps was minor with no injuries. Still, investigators blamed many of these mishaps on the flight crew’s lack of proper approach procedures or failure to recognize and be prepared for likely circumstances that could result from, for example, a wet, icy or snowy runway.
