From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) On November 1, 2007, at approximately 2300 eastern standard time (EST) a Gulfstream model 1159A, registration number N165G, serial number 414 landed at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (kfxe) on a 14 CFR 91 flight. After touchdown on runway 08 the aircraft ran off the end of the runway coming to rest approximately 500 feet past the end of the runway. Runway 08 is 6001 feet in length. According to the captain, who was typed rated in the aircraft and held an airline transport pilot certificate; the winds were 360 at 10 knots. The incident flight originated at van nuys airport (kvny). The flight crew stated that after their normal landing the aircraft thrust reversers did not deploy, but tested ok before departure from kvny. The flight crew also stated that full brakes were applied after landing but the aircraft would not stop. The aircraft touched down in the first 1000 feet of the runway according to the captain of N165G. One witness stated that he heard the engines "spool up" around the mid-section of the runway, and then seemed to be retarded to idle. Afterwards he observed the aircraft exit off the end of the runway. There was only minor damage to the aircraft. The captain and first officer provided a hand written statement to the responding federal aviation administration (FAA) inspector in charge (iic). The captain stated miami approach provided them with vectors to runway 08 ILS. The winds were 360 @ 10 knots. He stated "after landing, I applied the thrust reverser which did not deploy. I then immediately applied braking. It became very difficult to stop the airplane. We then ran off the runway 8. Our (ref) speed was 126 knots. The copilot also assisted me in applying brakes." In the first officer's statement he stated their airspeed was "126 KTS. + 10 KTS after touch down." He also stated that the "captain selected reverse but the aircraft failed to respond to this application." The aircraft was inspected by a FAA certificated mechanic in accordance with a departure from runway inspection. Several components to the landing gear were replaced as a result of this inspection. The logbook entry also indicated that the left and right thrust reversers were inspected and operationally checked with no discrepancies noted. The air traffic controller on duty and controlling aircraft at kfxe provided a personnel statement. In this statement she observed "him touch down approximately halfway down the runway."
