What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
While on final approach to ksus, the pilot noted a "brk fail" warning light while lowering the landing gear. The pilot notified ATC and elected to change his approach and landing to the longest runway with a landing headwind component, rwy 08R.
After landing the pilot applied the phenom 100 emergency brakes in accord with the published emergency procedures. The pilot then elected to clear the active runway and taxiied to the airplane's hangar on the airport while continuing to use the emergency brake system.
Note: the AFM states the aircraft is limited to a maximum of 6 applications of the emergency brake system.
While taxiing on the airplane's home hangar apron the pilot noted 1500 PSI pressure still indicated in the airplane hydraulic system and elected to make a taxiing 180 degree turn to facilitate unloading the airplane.
After completing the turn, the pilot attempted to stop the airplane with another application of the emergency brakes but was unable to arrest the forward motion of the airplane. The airplane rolled forward until contacting a parked suv resulting in damage to both the airplane and suv.
The collision with the suv caused damage to the airplane radome and some damage to the leading edge of the left wing. Due to the collision vehicle obstructing the operation of the passenger door, the passengers and pilot were forced to exit the airplane through the over-wing emergency exit.
