Narrative:
The Honda HA-420 HondaJet suffered a runway excursion after landing on runway 32 at Foz do Iguaçu/Cataratas Airport, Brazil. The aircraft fell in a ravine and sustained substantial damage. The three occupants were not injured.
Thunderstorms were present near the airport around the time of the accident.

The required landing distance of 6,431t (1,960m) was compatible for the operation, since the LDA of runway 32 at SBFI was 7,201ft (2,195m).

Contributing factors.
- Control skills – undetermined.
Despite the low contribution of the speedbrakes to the reduction of the landing distance, this device represents a deceleration resource through aerodynamic drag that should not be neglected, especially during landing on wet runways, and could have contributed to avoiding runway excursion.
- Adverse meteorological conditions – a contributor.
The large variation in wind intensity peaked at 32 kt. This variation lasted 13 seconds and raised the indicated speed from 76 kt to 108 kt.
Considering that the speed of 108 kt was very close to the VREF (111 KCAS), it can be stated that this phenomenon altered the aircraft's lift and, consequently, reduced the tires' grip on the ground, leading to poor braking.
