What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Aircraft was cleared a visual approach to runway 16 at palwaukee executive airport, Wheeling, Illinois (kpwk). After touchdown the pilot in command (PIC) applied thrust reversers and subsequently the brakes. PIC noticed that the brakes were not effective. The second in command (SIC) then tried to apply brakes, no effect. The PIC pulled the emergency brake to help slow the aircraft which locked up the main wheels on the main landing gear. The crew attempted to make taxiway d, which would have been a shallow turn to the left. Aircraft departed the runway into the grass damaging a runway sign and taxiway light. The right main landing gear collapsed.
Two people on board. No injuries. Damage to the aircraft was classified as substantial damage.
