===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>
