had originally taken off from Runway 26, but experienced mechanical difficulties, and the crew returned for a landing on Runway 13 for their emergency landing, and landed long on the runway, resulting in the overrun. March 15, 2013 three people were killed when a Piper PA-31 Navajo aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff into a parking lot of a business near the departure end of the runway 9. All three occupants of the aircraft were killed, and the cause of the crash was listed as pilot error. April 12, 2015 four people were killed when their Piper PA-31T Cheyenne reported a distress call for smoke in the aircraft upon approaching the airport for landing after taking off from Orlando. The aircraft crashed into a wildlife preserve just short of the airport, causing a large fire killing all on board. On August 21, 2021, a Gulfstream 4 suffered a nosewheel collapse on the takeoff roll. The aircraft skidded off the runway, and all 14 on board made it out with no injuries. Boxer Gervonta Davis was on board.
