Narrative:
The aircraft experienced a runway overrun upon landing to runway 35 at Sugar Land Regional Airport (KSGR), Houston, Texas. The airplane sustained unreported but apparent substantial damage and the three occupants onboard were not injured. Weather may have been a factor to the incident as there was a thunderstorm in the area. An automated weather report three minutes before the accident shows wind from 130 degrees at 8 knots. Eight minutes after the accident wind was reported from 180 degrees at 13 knots, gusting to 19 knots.
The asphalt runway at Sugar Land Airport has a length of 8000 feet. Runway 35 has a 1984 ft displaced threshold, leaving 6016 ft (1833 m). A creek is located 30 m past the paved end of runway 35.
 
No pay raise and Flex Furloughs

Well 25 on the street today as KR donated 5 Million dollars to a Marching Band and his goons said in negotiions no pay raise. Guess the marching band got all of it. Any Flex guys wake up yet????? Naaaaah
 
Good thing the first priority was to get a tarp over the N-number.

I have mixed feelings on this topic, as I'm sure most of us do. I would appreciate hearing how this came about i.e. who made the call and who carried out the action and the thought process behind it all before I decide.

One thing that is interesting, the media reported that as a Flexjet owned and operated aircraft. Where are they getting their information since only the FX tail ties it to FJ? Everything official is all Options.

Fact is Ricci and company branded those planes as Flexjet because they are trying to escape the reputation they gave to themselves with how they have managed Options. Now the Onesky PR Dept will have to work overtime to counter the factual impression that a Ricci run company is a sh!tstorm of potential problems owners want to avoid. It doesn't matter if it is Options, Flexjet or Onesky, if Ricci and crew are behind it, then it is going to have the dark clouds over it.

My full support goes out to these pilots who just by the sheer fact there were no injuries speaks to a great job in tough circumstances. I do however wonder, with so many of the recent furloughs effecting the Phenom crews, if that had bearing. Perhaps these guys are overworked and overtired as a general fleet rule. I certainly hope the NTSB looks into how company practices and cultural atmosphere could have been a factor here.
 
Incorrect IMISSPILOT a FAA N Number search and it comes up Flexjet LLC. Hate to say we told you so..BUT WE TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!
