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.

On 7/29/15 SC aviation, inc. check airman was giving a check ride to sca pilot in sca aircraft N26SC, (BAE-125-700A).

Scenario; aircraft setup on approach to jvl, ILS runway 32, with a circle to land on runway 22. Runway 22 is 6701 feet in length. Tab data factored landing distance of 3930 at 113 knots. Pilot flying (pf) was using 119 knots as a reference speed during the check ride approaches. Outside the outer marker, the check airman pulled the left engine to idle to simulate an engine failure.

Gear was extended on base leg and flaps set at 25-degrees. Pf states he noticed on final that he was approximately 300 feet higher than normal and airspeed was approximately 20 knots above the 119 knot reference speed. He considered this acceptable with a one engine approach. Flaps were extended to 45 degrees. Crossing threshold to runway 22, pf noted he was slightly high and believed the airspeed was in the range of reference speed plus 10 to 15 knots. After flare the aircraft floated for some distance. Both pf and check airman felt they had touched down prior to the intersection with runway 32/14, near taxiway charlie (3720 feet from end of runway). Tire marks on runway indicate a touchdown passed the intersection around taxiway bravo leaving about 2800 feet of runway remaining. Upon touchdown, immediately the nose wheel started to shimmy. Pf stated he may have landed with all 3 gear touching at the same time. Maximum brake pressure was applied but pf indicated he did not notice pedal travel and aircraft did not seem to slowdown. The check airman then applied the emergency brakes. The aircraft was then noticed to be slowing but not enough to prevent the aircraft from departing the end of the runway. The pf turned the aircraft to the left to avoid hitting the threshold lights. The aircraft then came to stop 200 ? 300 feet off the runway, to the left. The aircraft right flap did strike two runway lights causing damage to the flap. Nose landing right attachment fitting was later found to be cracked. Four tires had flat spots.

As the FAA filed it

ON 7/29/15 SC AVIATION, INC. CHECK AIRMAN WAS GIVING A CHECK RIDE TO SCA PILOT IN SCA AIRCRAFT N26SC, (BAE-125-700A).

SCENARIO; AIRCRAFT SETUP ON APPROACH TO JVL, ILS RUNWAY 32, WITH A CIRCLE TO LAND ON RUNWAY 22. RUNWAY 22 IS 6701 FEET IN LENGTH. TAB DATA FACTORED LANDING DISTANCE OF 3930 AT 113 KNOTS. PILOT FLYING (PF) WAS USING 119 KNOTS AS A REFERENCE SPEED DURING THE CHECK RIDE APPROACHES. OUTSIDE THE OUTER MARKER, THE CHECK AIRMAN PULLED THE LEFT ENGINE TO IDLE TO SIMULATE AN ENGINE FAILURE.

GEAR WAS EXTENDED ON BASE LEG AND FLAPS SET AT 25-DEGREES. PF STATES HE NOTICED ON FINAL THAT HE WAS APPROXIMATELY 300 FEET HIGHER THAN NORMAL AND AIRSPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 20 KNOTS ABOVE THE 119 KNOT REFERENCE SPEED. HE CONSIDERED THIS ACCEPTABLE WITH A ONE ENGINE APPROACH. FLAPS WERE EXTENDED TO 45 DEGREES. CROSSING THRESHOLD TO RUNWAY 22, PF NOTED HE WAS SLIGHTLY HIGH AND BELIEVED THE AIRSPEED WAS IN THE RANGE OF REFERENCE SPEED PLUS 10 TO 15 KNOTS. AFTER FLARE THE AIRCRAFT FLOATED FOR SOME DISTANCE. BOTH PF AND CHECK AIRMAN FELT THEY HAD TOUCHED DOWN PRIOR TO THE INTERSECTION WITH RUNWAY 32/14, NEAR TAXIWAY CHARLIE (3720 FEET FROM END OF RUNWAY). TIRE MARKS ON RUNWAY INDICATE A TOUCHDOWN PASSED THE INTERSECTION AROUND TAXIWAY BRAVO LEAVING ABOUT 2800 FEET OF RUNWAY REMAINING. UPON TOUCHDOWN, IMMEDIATELY THE NOSE WHEEL STARTED TO SHIMMY. PF STATED HE MAY HAVE LANDED WITH ALL 3 GEAR TOUCHING AT THE SAME TIME. MAXIMUM BRAKE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED BUT PF INDICATED HE DID NOT NOTICE PEDAL TRAVEL AND AIRCRAFT DID NOT SEEM TO SLOWDOWN. THE CHECK AIRMAN THEN APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. THE AIRCRAFT WAS THEN NOTICED TO BE SLOWING BUT NOT ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE AIRCRAFT FROM DEPARTING THE END OF THE RUNWAY. THE PF TURNED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE LEFT TO AVOID HITTING THE THRESHOLD LIGHTS. THE AIRCRAFT THEN CAME TO STOP 200 ? 300 FEET OFF THE RUNWAY, TO THE LEFT. THE AIRCRAFT RIGHT FLAP DID STRIKE TWO RUNWAY LIGHTS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FLAP. NOSE LANDING RIGHT ATTACHMENT FITTING WAS LATER FOUND TO BE CRACKED. FOUR TIRES HAD FLAT SPOTS.
