What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On December 5, 2004, at 1145 central standard time, a dassault-bregeut falcon 20 twin-turbo jet airplane, N82TN, was substantially damaged when it overran the departure end of runway 18 at the Pine Bluff municipal airport (pbf), near Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The airplane was registered to and operated by inland paperboard and packaging inc., of austin, Texas. The airline transport captain, airline transport pilot acting as first officer (fo), and two passengers were not injured. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed, and an instrument flight plan was filed for the 14 code of federal regulations part 91 business flight. The cross-country flight originated from austin, Texas, at 1045, destined for pbf. During a telephone interview, the captain reported that they were vectored for the ILS runway 18 (a 5,998-foot long and 150-foot wide asphalt runway) approach to pbf. During the approach, the captain recalled maintaining glide slope and being lined up with the localizer. Approximately 100 feet above the approach descent minimums, the first officer (fo) informed the captain that he had the runway environment in sight. The captain continued the approach and noted the landing was "firm". During the landing roll, the captain applied both brakes and deployed the speed brakes. During the initial landing roll, the captain or fo did not note "anything out of the ordinary." Subsequently, the captain and fo realized the airplane was not slowing down, and the fo applied brakes, but did not notice any braking action. The airplane overran the departure end of the runway into the runway-overrun area. The airplane came to rest approximately 200 feet from the departure end of the runway. The captain added that moderate rain was within the vicinity of the airport at the time of landing, and he noticed standing water on the runway during the landing roll. The airplane was not equipped with thrust reversers; however, it was equipped with an emergency drag chute. The airplane also was equipped with a cockpit voice recorder (CVR). The recorder was transported to the NTSB laboratories in Washington, DC., for readout. Examination of the airplane by a federal aviation administration (FAA) inspector, who responded to the site of the accident, revealed the forward pressure bulkhead was compromised. The nose landing gear was folded aft into the fuselage structure. Examination of the runway revealed that there was pooled water in various areas of the runway the day after the accident. First evidence of touchdown by the airplane was observed 2,450 feet from the approach end of the runway. No evidence of braking action was observed throughout the remaining portion of the runway. At 1153, the automated weather observing system at pbf reported wind from 110 at 4 knots, visibility 1.5 statute miles, sky condition overcast at 500 feet, rain, mist, temperature 52 degrees fahrenheit, dew point 50 degrees fahrenheit, and an altimeter setting of 29.94 inches of mercury.
As the FAA filed it
(-23) ON DECEMBER 5, 2004, AT 1145 CENTRAL STANDARD TIME, A DASSAULT-BREGEUT FALCON 20 TWIN-TURBO JET AIRPLANE, N82TN, WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED WHEN IT OVERRAN THE DEPARTURE END OF RUNWAY 18 AT THE PINE BLUFF MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (PBF), NEAR PINE BLUFF, ARKANSAS. THE AIRPLANE WAS REGISTERED TO AND OPERATED BY INLAND PAPERBOARD AND PACKAGING INC., OF AUSTIN, TEXAS. THE AIRLINE TRANSPORT CAPTAIN, AIRLINE TRANSPORT PILOT ACTING AS FIRST OFFICER (FO), AND TWO PASSENGERS WERE NOT INJURED. INSTRUMENT METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED, AND AN INSTRUMENT FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED FOR THE 14 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PART 91 BUSINESS FLIGHT. THE CROSS-COUNTRY FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM AUSTIN, TEXAS, AT 1045, DESTINED FOR PBF. DURING A TELEPHONE INTERVIEW, THE CAPTAIN REPORTED THAT THEY WERE VECTORED FOR THE ILS RUNWAY 18 (A 5,998-FOOT LONG AND 150-FOOT WIDE ASPHALT RUNWAY) APPROACH TO PBF. DURING THE APPROACH, THE CAPTAIN RECALLED MAINTAINING GLIDE SLOPE AND BEING LINED UP WITH THE LOCALIZER. APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET ABOVE THE APPROACH DESCENT MINIMUMS, THE FIRST OFFICER (FO) INFORMED THE CAPTAIN THAT HE HAD THE RUNWAY ENVIRONMENT IN SIGHT. THE CAPTAIN CONTINUED THE APPROACH AND NOTED THE LANDING WAS "FIRM". DURING THE LANDING ROLL, THE CAPTAIN APPLIED BOTH BRAKES AND DEPLOYED THE SPEED BRAKES. DURING THE INITIAL LANDING ROLL, THE CAPTAIN OR FO DID NOT NOTE "ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY." SUBSEQUENTLY, THE CAPTAIN AND FO REALIZED THE AIRPLANE WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN, AND THE FO APPLIED BRAKES, BUT DID NOT NOTICE ANY BRAKING ACTION. THE AIRPLANE OVERRAN THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY INTO THE RUNWAY-OVERRUN AREA. THE AIRPLANE CAME TO REST APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET FROM THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY. THE CAPTAIN ADDED THAT MODERATE RAIN WAS WITHIN THE VICINITY OF THE AIRPORT AT THE TIME OF LANDING, AND HE NOTICED STANDING WATER ON THE RUNWAY DURING THE LANDING ROLL. THE AIRPLANE WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THRUST REVERSERS; HOWEVER, IT WAS EQUIPPED WITH AN EMERGENCY DRAG CHUTE. THE AIRPLANE ALSO WAS EQUIPPED WITH A COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER (CVR). THE RECORDER WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE NTSB LABORATORIES IN WASHINGTON, DC., FOR READOUT. EXAMINATION OF THE AIRPLANE BY A FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA) INSPECTOR, WHO RESPONDED TO THE SITE OF THE ACCIDENT, REVEALED THE FORWARD PRESSURE BULKHEAD WAS COMPROMISED. THE NOSE LANDING GEAR WAS FOLDED AFT INTO THE FUSELAGE STRUCTURE. EXAMINATION OF THE RUNWAY REVEALED THAT THERE WAS POOLED WATER IN VARIOUS AREAS OF THE RUNWAY THE DAY AFTER THE ACCIDENT. FIRST EVIDENCE OF TOUCHDOWN BY THE AIRPLANE WAS OBSERVED 2,450 FEET FROM THE APPROACH END OF THE RUNWAY. NO EVIDENCE OF BRAKING ACTION WAS OBSERVED THROUGHOUT THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE RUNWAY. AT 1153, THE AUTOMATED WEATHER OBSERVING SYSTEM AT PBF REPORTED WIND FROM 110 AT 4 KNOTS, VISIBILITY 1.5 STATUTE MILES, SKY CONDITION OVERCAST AT 500 FEET, RAIN, MIST, TEMPERATURE 52 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, DEW POINT 50 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, AND AN ALTIMETER SETTING OF 29.94 INCHES OF MERCURY.
