Kingston/Norman Rogers Airport, Ontario
The occurrence
On 30 November 2021, at 1754 Eastern Standard Time, the Embraer EMB-505 (Phenom 300E) (registration C-GRIA, serial number 50500566) aircraft, operated by I.M.P. Group Limited, departed Montréal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL), Quebec, for an instrument flight rules flight to Kingston/Norman Rogers Airport (CYGK), Ontario, with 2 pilots on board.
At 1829, the aircraft landed on Runway 19 following an instrument landing system approach. The second-in-command, who was the pilot flying, applied full braking within seconds of touchdown but did not feel the expected aircraft deceleration. The pilot-in-command also attempted to stop the aircraft once it was apparent that the expected braking was not taking place; this had no added effect on the deceleration of the aircraft. The aircraft departed the runway’s end at a speed of 61 knots, entering a grassy area. It continued for approximately 440 feet before coming to a stop.
Neither pilot was injured, the aircraft was undamaged, and there was no damage to airport fixtures.

Class of investigation
This is a class 3 investigation. These investigations analyze a small number of safety issues, and may result in recommendations. Class 3 investigations are generally completed within 450 days. For more information, see the Policy on Occurrence Classification.
TSB investigation process
There are 3 phases to a TSB investigation
- Field phase: a team of investigators examines the occurrence site and wreckage, interviews witnesses and collects pertinent information.
- Examination and analysis phase: the TSB reviews pertinent records, tests components of the wreckage in the lab, determines the sequence of events and identifies safety deficiencies. When safety deficiencies are suspected or confirmed, the TSB advises the appropriate authority without waiting until publication of the final report.
- Report phase: a confidential draft report is approved by the Board and sent to persons and corporations who are directly concerned by the report. They then have the opportunity to dispute or correct information they believe to be incorrect. The Board considers all representations before approving the final report, which is subsequently released to the public.
