- Cause: The first officer's failure to perform proper emergency braking procedures after the normal brake system failed.
A Panther Aviation Learjet 24 on an air ambulance flight from Miami landed at Orlando in the early morning. Its normal brakes failed after a hydraulic fluid leak, and the first officer's repeated use of the emergency brake made the aircraft yaw. The jet overran the runway and struck the ILS back course antenna. Nobody on board was injured.
