NTSB Report: HondaJet Runway Excursion Caused by Exceeding Crosswind Limits
A National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report has concluded that a runway excursion involving a HondaJet at Orlando International Airport was caused by pilots exceeding the aircraft's crosswind limitations. The incident occurred on January 28, 2024, when the aircraft veered off the runway during landing, striking a runway sign and causing damage to the left wing. Despite the incident, the pilots managed to regain control and safely stop the aircraft on a taxiway, with no injuries reported among the two pilots and two passengers. The NTSB identified the primary cause as the flight crew's failure to maintain control in wind conditions that exceeded the aircraft's certified limits, compounded by the decision to continue the approach despite adverse weather warnings.
