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.

N358QS, an Embraer EMB-505, was operating as flight number EJA358 under 14 CFR part 91 on March 1, 2016. The flight departed from Chicago O'Hare International Airport (kord) enroute for Chicago executive airport (kpwk). The pilot in command (PIC) of the aircraft attempted an instrument approach to runway 16, circle 34, at kpwk but executed a missed approach procedure, and the PIC returned to kord. N358QS executed the ILS 9L at kord. Upon landing, the aircraft overran the runway boundary and came to rest in a grassy area approximately 150 feet east of the runway 27R blast pad. The aircraft struck the west most approach lights for runway 27R and sustained minor damage to the leading edge of the wing and one landing gear door.

The pilot of N358QS estimated the aircraft broke out of instrument conditions 900 feet above ground level (AGL). The airport surface observation system reported that the winds were out of 350 degrees at 19 knots. The second in command (SIC), stated that the runway was winter contaminated with patchy snow and ice. Both pilots stated that they estimated that braking action was nil. When asked where the PIC touched the aircraft down on the runway, the SIC stated that aircraft touched down on the first third of the runway.

Braking action measurements taken at 12:46 CST report an average braking value on runway 9L to be a mu value of 25 on the bowmonk airfield friction meter. A mu reading of 25 or below is the equivalent of poor braking action.

The pilots submitted the incident into the associated air carriers aviation safety action program (asap). Any remedial training/checking will be handled through the associated air carriers asap.

THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE WEST MOST APPROACH LIGHTS FOR RUNWAY 27R AND SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WING AND ONE LANDING GEAR DOOR.

THE PILOT OF N358QS ESTIMATED THE AIRCRAFT BROKE OUT OF INSTRUMENT CONDITIONS 900 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL (AGL). THE AIRPORT SURFACE OBSERVATION SYSTEM REPORTED THAT THE WINDS WERE OUT OF 350 DEGREES AT 19 KNOTS. THE SECOND IN COMMAND (SIC), STATED THAT THE RUNWAY WAS WINTER CONTAMINATED WITH PATCHY SNOW AND ICE. BOTH PILOTS STATED THAT THEY ESTIMATED THAT BRAKING ACTION WAS NIL. WHEN ASKED WHERE THE PIC TOUCHED THE AIRCRAFT DOWN ON THE RUNWAY, THE SIC STATED THAT AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ON THE FIRST THIRD OF THE RUNWAY.

BRAKING ACTION MEASUREMENTS TAKEN AT 12:46 CST REPORT AN AVERAGE BRAKING VALUE ON RUNWAY 9L TO BE A MU VALUE OF 25 ON THE BOWMONK AIRFIELD FRICTION METER. A MU READING OF 25 OR BELOW IS THE EQUIVALENT OF POOR BRAKING ACTION.

THE PILOTS SUBMITTED THE INCIDENT INTO THE ASSOCIATED AIR CARRIERS AVIATION SAFETY ACTION PROGRAM (ASAP). ANY REMEDIAL TRAINING/CHECKING WILL BE HANDLED THROUGH THE ASSOCIATED AIR CARRIERS ASAP.
