What happened
On the evening of 30 November 2021, an Embraer EMB-505 (registration C-GRIA) was performing an instrument flight rules arrival at Kingston/Norman Rogers Airport in Ontario. The aircraft, operated by I.M.P. Group Limited, had departed from Montréal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport in Quebec with two crew members on board.
Upon landing on Runway 19 via an instrument landing system approach, the second-in-command, acting as the pilot flying, engaged full braking shortly after the aircraft touched the ground. When the crew realized the aircraft was not decelerating as expected, the pilot-in-command also applied braking, but this failed to slow the plane effectively. Consequently, the aircraft exited the end of the runway at a speed of 61 knots and traveled roughly 440 feet into a grassy area before coming to a complete stop.
There were no injuries to the two pilots, and the aircraft sustained no damage. No airport infrastructure was harmed during the excursion.
The investigation
The investigation focused on the lack of deceleration during the landing roll. Investigators examined the environmental conditions and the aircraft's braking performance during the event.
