===Accidents with fatalities===
* On 17 October 2019, [[PenAir Flight 3296]] suffered a [[runway overrun]] while landing at [[Unalaska Airport]] in Alaska with 42 occupants on board; 1 person died and 9 were injured. The probable cause was the incorrect wiring of the wheel speed [[transducer]] harnesses on the left main [[landing gear]] during overhaul, causing the [[Anti-lock braking system|antiskid system]] to malfunction. Contributing factors were Saab's failing to consider and protect against human error during maintenance, in its design of the harness; the [[FAA]]'s lack of consideration of the [[Runway safety area|RSA]] size, allowing the Saab 2000 to operate at the airport; and the flight crew's willingness to land with a [[tailwind]] exceeding the airplane's limit due to their [[plan continuation bias]], aggravated by PenAir's failure to apply its qualification policy which allowed the pilot to operate at a challenging airport with limited experience at the airport and in the craft.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Runway Overrun, PenAir flight 3296|url=https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Pages/dca20ma002.aspx|access-date=2021-12-03|publisher=National Transportation Safety Board}}</ref>

===Other incidents===
{{main|Loganair Flight 6780}}
*On 15 December 2014, [[Loganair Flight 6780]] was struck by lightning while approaching Sumburgh Airport. When the commander made nose-up pitch inputs the aircraft did not respond as he expected. After reaching 4,000&nbsp;ft the aircraft pitched to a minimum of 19° nose down and exceeded the applicable maximum operating speed by 80 kt, with a peak descent rate of 9,500&nbsp;ft/min.<ref name="AAIB">{{cite book|title=Aircraft Accident Report 2/2016 Report on the serious incident to Saab 2000, G-LGNO|url=https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/57ce96af40f0b65264000010/AAR_2-2016_G-LGNO.pdf| author=Department for Transport Air Accidents Investigation Branch|year=2016|publisher=Crown|location=United Kingdom}}</ref>{{rp|p.1}} The flight subsequently suffered from control difficulties and nosedived from 4000 feet to 1000 feet after the crew tried taking over the controls, but failed to notice that the autopilot was still engaged. The pilots then declared a mayday and returned to Aberdeen Airport. There were 33 occupants onboard and no injuries were reported. The subsequent investigation discovered that the planes' autopilot could not be overridden by pilot input, making it unique among all other aircraft in service.<ref name="AAIB" /><ref>{{Cite news|title=Serious incident Saab 2000 G-LGNO, 15 Dec 2014|work=AviationSafetyNetwork|url=https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/174226|access-date=2020-04-13}}</ref> [[Air Accidents Investigation Branch|AAIB]] reported safety actions to be taken regarding the autopilot operation;<ref name="AAIB" />{{rp|p.54}} putting "Notice to Aircrew (NOTAC 123/14)" in place;<ref name="AAIB" />{{rp|p.55}} and revision to Autopilot Standard Operating Procedures.<ref name="AAIB" />{{rp|p.56}} This incident is featured in the first episode, titled "North Sea Nightmare", of Season 21 of ''[[Mayday (Canadian TV series)|Mayday]]''.<ref name="mayday">{{Cite episode|title=North Sea Nightmare|series=[[Mayday (Canadian TV series)|Mayday]]|station=[[National Geographic Channel]]|season=21|language=en|number=1}}</ref>
