Description

An Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 overshot the runway and came to rest in a wooded area while attempting to land at Igaratinga-S?o Pedro Airport, Brazil. After exiting the runway, the aircraft collided with an object on the ground, traveled approximately 130 m, fell from a height of approximately 10 meters and caught fire. All four occupants were able to evacuate the aircraft. The crew and passengers suffered minor injuries Contributing factors. Airport infrastructure ? undetermined. Studies and research showed that the low deceleration of the aircraft and the limitation of the hydraulic pressure provided by the brake system were compatible with a slippery- runway scenario. Thus, one inferred that the runway was contaminated, a condition that would reduce its coefficient of friction and impair the aircraft’s braking performance, making it impossible to stop within the runway limits. Decision-making process ? undetermined. On account of the mirroring condition of the runway in SSDK, it is possible that the crew had some difficulty perceiving, analyzing, choosing alternatives, and acting appropriately, given a possible inadequate judgment of the aircraft’s landing performance on contaminated runways

Primary Cause

Low deceleration of the aircraft and limited hydraulic pressure in the brake system, combined with a slippery runway condition, likely contributed to the incident. The combination of these factors resulted in a reduced braking performance, making it impossible to stop within the runway limits.Low deceleration of the aircraft and limited hydraulic pressure in the brake system, combined with a slippery runway condition, likely contributed to the incident.
