- History of Flight:
On August 6, 2026, at about 1819 local time, a Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign, N96HE, registered to Bravo Aviation LLC, sustained substantial damage following a runway excursion at Statesville Regional Airport (SVH/KSVH), Statesville, North Carolina. The two pilots were not injured. The flight originated from Charleston Municipal Airport (CHS/KCHS), Charleston, South Carolina, at 1743.
Preliminary ADS-B data shows that the jet was on a final approach speed of 121 knots (groundspeed) to runway 28.

The jet departed the left side of runway 28 and came to rest upright in the grass. The tire tracks in the grass leading to the final resting position shows that the jet's right side fuselage/wing struck the airport's windsock. Given this information, the jet likely departed the left side about 3300 ft down the 7000 ft runway.
The airplane sustained damage to the right side fuselage, right wing leading edge, and right main landing gear.
