NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn February 9, 2024, about 1511 eastern standard time, a Bombardier CL-600-2B16 airplane, N823KD, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Naples, Florida. The two airline transport pilots were fatally injured. The cabin attendant and the two passengers sustained minor injuries, and one person on the ground suffered a minor injury. The airplane was operated by Ace Aviation Services (doing business as Hop A Jet) as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135 on-demand passenger flight. The airplane was returning to Naples Municipal Airport (APF), Naples, Florida, from Ohio State University Airport (OSU), Columbus, Ohio, where it had flown earlier in the day. The airplane was serviced with 350 gallons of fuel before departure from OSU. ADS-B flight track data and downloaded cockpit voice recorder (CVR) communications revealed that the flight crew contacted the APF air traffic control tower while on a right downwind leg of the approach to the airport and maneuvering for a 5-mile final approach to runway 23. About 1509, the tower controller cleared the flight to land. The airplane was about 6.5 miles north of APF, about 2,000 ft geometric altitude, and 166 kts ground speed, as it turned onto final approach for runway 23. Review of the data recovered from the airplane’s flight data recorder revealed that the first of three master warnings was recorded at 1509:33 (L ENGINE OIL PRESSURE), with the second immediately following at 1509:34 (R ENGINE OIL PRESSURE), and the third at 1509:40 (ENGINE). These warnings were annunciated by illumination of
Probable cause
Corrosion of both engines’ variable geometry (VG) system components, which led to their operation in an off-schedule position and resulted in near-simultaneous sub-idle rotating compressor stalls on approach, subsequent loss of thrust in both engines, and an off-airport landing. Contributing to the accident was inadequate fault isolation guidance from the engine manufacturer, which prevented the i

Hop-A-Jet Flight 823 was a chartered U.S. domestic flight operated by Hop-A-Jet from Ohio State University Airport in Columbus, Ohio, to Naples Airport in Naples, Florida. Shortly before landing on February 9, 2024, the pilots reported a dual engine failure and attempted to land on Interstate 75. The aircraft, a Bombardier Challenger 604, with twin General Electric CF34-3B engines, was destroyed and consumed by a post-crash fire. Both pilots were killed, but the two passengers and the sole flight attendant on board survived.
