## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

AFTER THE AIRCRAFT HAD TAKEN OFF FROM MYGF, THE PILOT RAISED THE LANDING GEAR AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT THEY HAD AN INDICATION OF LOW HYDRAULIC FLUID. THE PILOT CONTINUED TO A SAFE ALTITUDE AND TROUBLE SHOT THE PROBLEM. THEY DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND DIVERTED TO PBI AIRPORT. ONCE ON THE GROUND, THEY USED EMERGENCY BRAKING. THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE "EMAS" SYSTEM AT THE END OF RWY 14 WHERE IT CAME TO REST INSIDE OF THE EMAS. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THEY LOST HYDRAULIC PRESSURE AND FLUID WHEN THE NOSE STEERING FLEX HOSE CRACKED AND LEAKED OUT ALL OF THE HYDRAULIC FLUID.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
