Another overrun at TEB

[Lear Wanna Be]

Oh boy, it would appear that a well-known, much admired flight department from the midwest had a bad day. I'm only going off of the above audio clip but if the tail number indicated is correct than this is the aircraft:

I'm glad that everyone is okay!

Yep, you are correct. Motorola's Falcon 900.

I had a front row seat to this while holding short. It looked exciting!

NTSB Identification: NYC06IA075

Incident occurred Friday, March 03, 2006 in Teterboro, NJ
Aircraft: Dassault Aviation Falcon 900EX, registration: N973M
Injuries: 3 Uninjured.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed.
On March 3, 2006, about 1415 eastern standard time, a Dassault Aviation Falcon 900EX, N973M, sustained minor damage during a landing overrun at Teterboro Airport (TEB), Teterboro, New Jersey. The certificated airline transport rated flight crew and one passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and an instrument flight rules flight plan had been filed for the flight that departed Palwaukee Municipal Airport (PWK), Wheeling, Illinois. The business flight was conducted under 14 CFR Part 91.

According to the flight crew, the airplane departed and proceeded to TEB uneventfully. The airplane was initially cleared for the instrument landing system approach to runway 6. However, after a wind check reported winds from 290 degrees at 10 knots. The flight crew requested and received clearance to land on runway 24, a 6,013-foot-long, 150-foot-wide, asphalt runway. Due to the wind conditions, the flight crew added 10 knots, to their landing approach speed of 120 knots. Shortly prior to touchdown, the control tower reported the winds from 290 degrees at 15 knots, gusting to 20 knots. Both pilots reported that the airplane touched down on the runway centerline, "close to" or "within" the touchdown landing zone. The thrust reverser was deployed and the flight crew initially felt the sensation of braking; however, as the airplane continued down the runway, the braking action seemed less effective.

The airplane departed the end of the runway, and came to rest in mud, about 330 feet from the end of the runway. Tire marks consistent with the airplane's tires were observed to begin about 1,000 feet prior to the end of the runway. The airplane sustained damage to the landing gear assemblies, and the right outboard slat.

Examination of the airplane did not reveal any pre-incident mechanical malfunctions. Nor did the pilots report any.

Post-incident friction tests conducted on runway 24, by airport personnel, revealed friction levels above the threshold, which would have required the issue of a notice to airmen.

The pilot flying, who was seated in the left seat, estimated that he had accumulated about 6,500 hours of total flight experience, which included about 1,200 combined hours in the Falcon 50 and 900EX airplanes.

The pilot seated in the right seat, was the designated pilot-in-command for the flight. He estimated that he had accumulated about 11,000 hours of total flight experience, which included about 2,000 hours in the Falcon 900EX.

Several witnesses at the airport reported that they observed the airplane touch down about halfway down runway 24.

The airplane was equipped with a cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder (FDR), which were retained and forwarded to the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory, Washington, District of Columbia. Preliminary information from the FDR revealed that the airplane's airspeed just prior to touchdown was about 130 knots, and the ground speed just after touchdown was about 120 knots. The airplane's ground roll was about 2,900 feet from the main landing gear weight-on-wheel switch activation, until it came to rest.

A weather observation taken after the incident reported the winds from 330 degrees, at 19 knots, gusting to 26 knots.
