## Narrative

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

ON AUGUST 26, 2021, AIRCRAFT N413N, A PHENOM 300, RAN OFF THE RUNWAY WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LAND AT ELK RIVER AIRPORT IN BANNER ELK, NORTH CAROLINA (NC06).  THE AIRCRAFT, OPERATED BY PART 135 OPERATOR ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, WAS ON A PART 91 REPOSITIONING FLIGHT WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. WEATHER CONDITIONS REPORTED TO THE FLIGHT CREW BY AIRPORT PERSONNEL AT THE TIME WAS CALM WINDS AND RAIN. THE FLIGHT CREW STATED THE APPROACH AND TOUCHDOWN ONTO THE RUNWAY WAS NORMAL UNTIL THE APPLICATION OF BRAKES. THE PIC, WHO WAS THE PILOT FLYING, STATED THERE WAS NO BRAKING ACTION WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND IT FELT LIKE THEY WERE ON GLASS. INCREASED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDALS RESULTED IN NO CHANGE IN BRAKING ACTION.  EMERGENCY BRAKING WAS NOT APPLIED AND THE SIC DID NOT ATTEMPT TO USE HIS BRAKES. SKID MARKS CAN BE SEEN AT THE TOUCHDOWN POINT APPROXIMATELY 1400 FEET FROM THE APPROACH END OF RUNWAY 12.

THE PATH OF THE AIRCRAFT CAN BE FOLLOWED FOR 3300 FEET VIA SKID MARKS AND TIRE TRACKS ON AND OFF THE RUNWAY UNTIL THEY COME TO A STOP IN THE GRASS APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET NORTHEAST OF THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY.

THE AIRCRAFT INITIALLY EXITS THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AT 3750 FEET AND THE RIGHT WINGTIP STRIKES TREE LIMBS BEFORE THE AIRCRAFT IS DIRECTED BACK ON THE RUNWAY AT 4250 FEET. IT THEN CONTINUES DOWN THE RUNWAY UNTIL IT EXITS THE LEFT SIDE AT 4430 FEET, CROSSES A TAXIWAY AND COMES TO A STOP IN THE GRASS ADJACENT TO A HANGAR AT 4690 FEET AFTER THE LEFT WING IMPACTED A PARKED VEHICLE. THE DISTANCE FROM THE AIRCRAFT NOSE TO THE EDGE OF A 60 FOOT DEEP RAVINE MEASURES 8 FEET.

IT WAS DETERMINED DURING THE INVESTIGATION THE OPERATOR AND FLIGHT CREW WERE NOT AWARE OF THE AIRCRAFT LIMITATION FOR RUNWAY SLOPE. THE RUNWAY SLOPE AT THE ACCIDENT AIRPORT EXCEEDED THE LIMITATION SET FORTH IN THE AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL. THE EXCEEDANCE OF THIS LIMITATION LED TO THE FLIGHT CREW CALCULATING INACCURATE LANDING PERFORMANCE DATA.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to achieve the approach criteria for the available runway landing distances published in the POH, likely as a result of the steeper-than-normal approach and the required left turn…
