- Date: November 21, 2014
- Aircraft: Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100
- Location: Houston-Sugar Land, Texas, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: NTSB: The pilot's engagement of the emergency parking brake during the landing roll, which decreased braking performance and prevented the airplane from stopping on the available runway.
On 21 November 2014 a JetSuite Embraer Phenom 100 (N584JS) on a repositioning flight from Houston Hobby landed on runway 35 at Sugar Land Regional Airport in instrument conditions. The crew felt the jet was not decelerating, the pilot applied the emergency parking brake, and the aircraft skidded past the runway end and slid down an embankment into Oyster Creek. Both occupants survived and the aircraft was written off; the NTSB found that the wet runway braking figures in the flight manual were not achieved.
