Embraer EMB-500 jet nearly flips after runway excursion at Orlando International Airport, Florida

On October 22, 2021, at 1750 eastern daylight time, an Embraer EMB-500 airplane, N925DR, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident in Orlando, Florida. The airline transport pilot and four passengers were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot was landing the light jet with a right quartering tailwind. He stated that only the right brake activated when he applied the brakes during the landing roll. The airplane veered right so he released the brake pressure and used left rudder pressure to steer the airplane back toward the centerline. The airplane turned “aggressively” to the left, the right wing rose, and the pilot chose to continue into the grass rather than risk overcontrolling the airplane. The right wing impacted terrain, resulting in substantial damage, and the airplane came to rest upright perpendicular to the landing runway. One of the passengers stated that the airplane was “fishtailing” before it continued off the runway into the grass.
The airplane’s flight data recorder showed an increase in right brake pressure and right brake pedal position starting 8 seconds after touchdown, with no corresponding increase in left brake pressure or pedal position, consistent with application of right brake only. Upon application of the right brake, the airplane entered a series of lateral accelerations, yawing right and left, consistent with the “fishtailing” described by the passenger; then entered a left yaw that continued until the end of the recorded data. No warnings or brake fault indications were recorded, and the brake control unit operated nominally during postaccident testing. The pilot reported that he did not customarily apply brakes during the landing roll when adequate runway was available to let the airplane decelerate.
Based on the available information, it is likely that the pilot inadvertently applied right brake during the landing roll, which resulted in a loss of directional control and subsequent runway excursion.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadvertent application of the right brake during the landing roll, which resulted in a loss of directional control and a subsequent runway excursion.

Wow... looks like he was right about the brakes. The data shows he was even on both pedals but only the right brakes actually had pressure. Looks like a mechanical failure in the left brake system.

Thank goodness nobody was hurt!

Even if you are tempted to try this maneuver, don't. You will just piss off the airport maintenance crew.

[@charlestoast4051]

Pretty clear that somebody hit the right brake.

[@Silo-Ren]

I guess someone's grounded for a while.

[@eradicator187]

That is going to be expensive.

I was on short final to the same runway, had to go around. What a cluster that was.😂

[@Flies2FLL]

I have NEVER had one single desire to fly private jets. And I seriously do not understand the people who do-

[@locario4]

it all depends on the maintenance on the aircraft and pilots, you cant call someone weird for liking them

@@GWN_Garage Suitcase by the door, you realistically have NO days off, and your job goes away in seconds if a stock price drops. Oh, and YOU get to clean the toilets....
No thanx. Give me a 767 and a long layover in Marina Del Rey!
