The sole-occupant pilot of the Cessna Citation CJ4 that overran the runway and struck a house near Mayfield, Kentucky, on September 18 reported “no braking action” after landing, according to an NTSB preliminary report. He told investigators that the airplane, registered N577RT, had just completed maintenance at St. Louis Regional Airport (KALN) and was returning to its base at Mayfield Graves County Airport (M25). The flight was operated under Part 91.
According to the report, the flight was uneventful until landing. The pilot said he performed a straight-in visual approach to Runway 19 and “configured the airplane for landing later than intended” but was stabilized for touchdown. He touched down on the runway centerline and “deployed the ground spoilers and pressed firmly on the brakes” but observed no braking action as the airplane continued to roll.
