## Narrative

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

A HONDA JET, HA-420 TYPE AIRCRAFT, WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE MORNING OF 4/7/2025 IN NORTH BEND, OR.  THERE WAS ONE PILOT AND FOUR PASSENGERS ON BOARD AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT AND THEY ALL SUSTAINED SERIOUS INJURIES.  THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM ST. GEORGE, UTAH AND LANDED IN NORTH BEND, OR.  THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED DURING THE LANDING PHASE / ROLL-OUT ON RUNWAY 05 AT THE NORTH BEND, OR (KOTH) AIRPORT.  ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, THE ENROUTE PHASE OF FLIGHT AND APPROACH WAS UNEVENTFUL. UPON LANDING ON RUNWAY 05 THE PILOT STATED THAT EVERYTHING FELT NORMAL AT TOUCHDOWN AND WHEN THE BRAKES WERE INITIALLY APPLIED.  THE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES APPEARED NORMAL AND NO ABNORMALITIES/VIBRATIONS WERE FELT IN ANY OF THE CONTROLS, BUT THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN.  THE SPEED BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO ASSIST IN BRAKING.  THE PILOT STATED THAT THE B2 TAXIWAY WAS NORMALLY UTILIZED TO EXIT THE RUNWAY WHEN LANDING AT THIS AIRPORT.  HOWEVER, DURING THIS LANDING THE AIRCRAFT WAS UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN TO EXIT AT THE B2 INTERSECTION, AND IT WAS AT THAT POINT THE PILOT REALIZED THE PLANE WAS NOT GOING TO STOP, AND AN OVERRUN WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.  THE PILOT DID NOT ELECT TO UTILIZE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO ASSIST IN SLOWING THE AIRCRAFT.  AS THE AIRCRAFT APPROACHED THE END OF THE RUNWAY, THE PILOT STEERED THE AIRPLANE TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID HITTING THE LIGHT BAR AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY.  THE PLANE OVERRAN THE RUNWAY INTO THE GRASS AND LAUNCHED OFF THE BANK INTO THE WATER IN COOS BAY.  THE PILOT WAS ABLE TO SECURE BOTH ENGINES AND CONDUCT A SHUTDOWN OF THE AIRCRAFT PRIOR TO EVACUATION.  ALL FIVE OCCUPANTS WERE ABLE TO SELF-EXTRICATE AND MAKE IT BACK TO DRY LAND.
