- Date: July 5, 2013
- Aircraft: Rockwell Sabreliner 65
- Location: Las Vegas-Harry Reid (McCarran), Nevada, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilots' failure to follow the emergency hydraulic and emergency braking procedures, which left only the brake accumulator and then no directional control after they turned off the runway. The cause of the hydraulic pressure loss could not be determined.
After the main hydraulic system lost pressure on approach, the crew extended the landing gear by the emergency procedure with the auxiliary pump still engaged, which left little brake pressure for landing. On the landing roll the brakes did not work normally, and the crew turned off the runway with about 3,900 ft still available. The captain could not stop or steer, and the Sabreliner struck a metal beam in an adjacent field. No one was injured.
