“Probable Cause: The pilot's operation of the airplane while intoxicated, which resulted in a loss of airplane control on landing” (and at the wrong airport) July 18 2019: a private Citation II crashes in Nevada (US), no casualties. Jet left the runway on landing at Mesquite, lost its undercarriage, and was destroyed in a fire. The aircraft was on a ferry flight, and it was not intended to land at Mesquite: the pilot was later arrested on suspicion of flying while drunk (later confirmed) (Below is an exact quote of the accident report: I can imagine that when this came out, the pilot was busy printing CVs) “After authorities arrived on site, the pilot was arrested for operating an aircraft under the influence of alcohol. The pilot was found to have a blood alcohol level of .288, which exceeded the FAA's allowable limit of .040. This likely contributed to the pilot landing at the incorrect airport and his subsequent loss of airplane control during landing” More info here, from the NTSB report "The flight departed Pasco-Tri-Cities Airport, Washington, at about 16:25 on a ferry flight to Las Vegas-Henderson Sky Harbor Airport, Nevada. While approaching Class B airspace, air traffic control noted the pilot’s slurred speech and repeatedly asked if the oxygen system was working. About 85 miles from the destination, the pilot reported having a nearby airport in sight and requested a visual approach several times, despite being instructed to continue southwest. The airplane soon dropped off radar, landed at the unintended airport instead, and touched down hard about halfway down the runway before sliding to a stop on the left side, with the fuselage and wings largely destroyed by post-impact fire".

He made an approach from runway 29, and then he carried out a missed approach, after which he again tried to make an attempt from runway 11. I also have no contact with the pilots; they are not there. It is a very unfortunate decision. We are very sad about it. We are trying to first be with the families who have lost their next of kin. It is a very unfortunate incident. Primarily, it appears that the pilot could not see the runway...He was a very experienced pilot, more than 16,000 hours of experience. The co-pilot also had 1500 hours of experience. The Captain was very experienced. He was with Sahara, JetLite, Jet Airways and he was very experienced on this type of aeroplane also...The aircraft was very well-maintained. There was absolutely no problem in the aircraf, there was no technical failure in the aircraft as far as we know...My deepest condolences. Captain Sumit Kapoor was a very good friend of mine. He was a brother to me. His son is also a pilot with us. Captain Shambhavi Pathak was a daughter to me. Both of them were extremely good human beings and extremely good pilots..." On the 2023 plane crash incident, he says, "What happened in 2023 occurred at Mumbai airport. It was raining then too and the visibility was low. The pilot skidded off the runway after touchdown.
