Crash The crash occurred at 15:00 BST. Shortly before landing and while flying along the landing circuit, the pilot received a traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) advisory message warning him of the presence of a microlight aircraft also in the circuit. Six times during the Phenom's final approach, the terrain awareness and warning system issued "pull up" warnings.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-33809095 Bin Laden plane crash: Jet issued six warning alerts BBC News 6 August 2015 6 August 2015 6 August 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150806174804/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-33809095 live As it reached the runway threshold, the jet was travelling at 151 kn km/h, 43 kn km/h faster than its final approach target speed of 108 kn km/h.http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/Bin-Laden-Relatives-Die-In-Phenom-Crash-224624-1.html Bin Laden Relatives Die In Phenom Crash AVweb 3 August 2015 23 September 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150923191423/http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/Bin-Laden-Relatives-Die-In-Phenom-Crash-224624-1.html liveFinal 4 Based on tyre marks left on the runway, the aircraft touched down two-thirds of the way along the runway, leaving only about 440 m ft on of runway in which to stop. The aircraft landed at a speed of 134 kn km/h (compared to the 108 kn km/h recommended by the manufacturer); the required stopping distance at this speed would have been more than 600 m ft on. It struck an earthen bank and became briefly airborne again before coming to a rest in the car park of a British Car Auctions facility, directly adjacent to Blackbushe Airport. The wreckage caught fire within one second of coming to rest.Final 30 Several fire engines attended the scene to extinguish the fire, which was complicated by the burning wreckage setting alight several cars around the wreckage in the car park.http://news.sky.com/story/1528558/four-dead-after-jet-crashes-into-car-auction Four Dead After Jet Crashes Into Car Auction Sky News 31 July 2015 All four people on board the aircraft survived the landing, but were killed by the post-crash fire.

Investigation The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) opened an investigation into the accident.https://www.gov.uk/government/news/the-aaib-has-sent-to-blackbushe-airport The AAIB has sent a team to Blackbushe Airport Air Accidents Investigation Branch 31 July 2015 26 October 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20151026080614/https://www.gov.uk/government/news/the-aaib-has-sent-to-blackbushe-airport live In August 2015, the AAIB issued a Special Bulletin that described the accident sequence.6 August 2015 AAIB Bulletin S2/2015 SPECIAL https://assets.digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk/media/55c367e0ed915d5346000010/S2-2015_HZ-IBN.pdf live 6 August 2015 Air Accidents Investigation Branch https://web.archive.org/web/20151004093130/https://assets.digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk/media/55c367e0ed915d5346000010/S2-2015_HZ-IBN.pdf 4 October 2015 The final report was published in December 2016.https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/58749d5bed915d0b1200011a/Embraer_EMB-505_Phenom_300_HZ-IBN_12-16.pdf AAIB Bulletin 12/2016 HZ-IBN EW/C2015/07/04 Air Accidents Investigation Branch 8 December 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20161221032849/https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/58259b42e5274a2562000024/Embraer_EMB-505_Phenom_300_HZ-IBN_12-16.pdf 21 December 2016 live It was established that the aircraft's final approach was not stable, the speed at landing was excessive, and the touchdown point too far down the runway for the aircraft to stop safely within the remaining length. The AAIB concluded that "several factors combined to create a very high workload for the pilot. This may have saturated his mental capacity, impeding his ability to handle new information and adapt his mental model, leading him to become fixated on continuing the approach."Final 3 The place where the aircraft ended up meant that fire-fighting was delayed, as access was through a locked gate and the first two airport fire appliances had to await the arrival of the third, which carried the key. However, the report suggested that the delay did not affect the duration of the fire, which in any case would have continued until all the fuel was consumed.Final 37 The airport operator subsequently ensured that each vehicle carries necessary keys, and made improvements to documentation.Final 47 References 30em External links Aerial view of the crash site AAIB final report Category:Aviation accidents and incidents in 2015 Category:Aviation accidents and incidents in England Category:2015 in England Category:Hart District Category:History of Hampshire Category:Bin Laden family Category:July 2015 in the United Kingdom Category:Aviation accidents and incidents involving runway overruns
