Event Remarks
CREW DEPARTED KTYQ AT 5:30A LOCAL TIME IN N984EP, A PHENOM 100, WITH A DESTINATION OF KAIO. PILOT STATED THE DURATION OF THE FLIGHT WAS ANTICIPATED TO BE 1.5 HOURS. PILOT RECEIVED HOLDING VECTORS FROM MINNEAPOLIS CENTER WHILE WAITING FOR A THUNDERSTORM TO PASS THROUGH KAIO. PILOT STATED THAT ONCE THE THUNDERSTORM MOVED THROUGH THE AWOS AT KAIO WAS REPORTING WINDS 290@5 WITH LIGHT RAIN WHEN AIRCRAFT TURNED FOR MADUP, AN IAF FOR THE RNAV RWY 20 APPROACH. PILOT STATED VREF WAS CALCULATED AT 95KTS AND IN THE PHENOM, ON A WET RUNWAY, HE WOULD LIKELY HAVE NO BRAKES UPON TOUCHDOWN, BUT THE SYSTEM WOULD APPLY BRAKES AROUND 70KTS. CREW STATED THEY SAW THE RUNWAY ABOUT 3 MILES OUT AND ADJUSTED THE AIM POINT FOR THE RUNWAY NUMBERS. AT 200? AGL, PILOT REPORTED TO BE AT VREF+3. PILOT SAID HE WAS MONITORING THE AWOS DURING THE ENTIRE APPROACH, AND THE WEATHER NEVER CHANGED FROM WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED. AT 50? AGL, THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THRUST WAS SET AT IDLE AND THE PLANE TOUCHED DOWN AT THE NUMBERS. THE TIME WAS ABOUT 6:30A LOCAL. CREW STATED THAT THE RIGHT SEAT PILOT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDALS AND SAID, ?I HAVE NO BRAKES?. THEN LEFT SEAT PILOT DEPRESSED HIS PEDALS AND CONFIRMED THAT, AS EXPECTED, THEY DID NOT HAVE BRAKES. BOTH HELD THE PEDALS DOWN, EXPECTING THE BRAKES TO BECOME AVAILABLE AROUND 70KTS. AT 70KTS, THE CREW STATED THE SYSTEM WAS STILL NOT APPLYING BRAKES AND THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE BRAKES AT 50KTS. AT THIS POINT, THE CREW REPORTED THAT THERE WAS ONLY ABOUT 1000? OF RUNWAY REMAINING. PILOT STATED THE BRAKES CAUGHT MOMENTARILY "LESS THAN A SECOND" WITH ABOUT 750? OF RUNWAY AVAILABLE, BUT IMMEDIATELY RELEASED. THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE EXTENDED CENTERLINE OF RWY 20, AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED ABOUT 150 YARDS OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY. THE CREW SECURED THE AIRPLANE AND WALKED TO THE FBO. CREW STATED THEY DID NOT REMEMBER SEEING A CAS MESSAGE FOR BRAKE FAILURE NOR DID THEY HEAR AN AURAL WARNING INDICATING A CAS MESSAGE. NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOTED ON THE POST INSPECTION, NOR WAS THERE ANY DAMAGE TO THE AIRPORT. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE AIRCRAFT COMPUTER RECORDED A BRAKE CONTROL UNIT FAILURE DURING THE TIME OF LANDING ROLL.
