Narrative:
The Gulfstream G150 jet landed long and overran runway 36 into marsh. The right-hand main landing gear separated.
The pilot stated to the NTSB that the airplane touched down normally, about 700 to 1,000 ft beyond the runway threshold at a speed between 120-128 knots. He applied brakes and thrust reversers but did not observe an indication that the spoilers deployed. He further recalled that the brakes and thrust reversers were not slowing the airplane. He increased thrust reverser input and asked the copilot to apply "full brakes." The airplane subsequently overran the departure end of the runway, traveled through the grass and came to rest in a wetland marsh.
After the airplane came to rest, the pilot secured the engines while the copilot performed the shutdown procedures, the crew and passengers exited the airplane through the forward entry door and right overwing emergency exit.
Probable Cause and Findings:
The flight crews continuation of an unstable approach and the failure of the ground air brakes to deploy upon touchdown, both of which resulted in the runway overrun. Contributing was the crews motivation and response to external pressures to complete the flight as quickly as possible to accommodate passenger wishes and the crews decision to land with a quartering tailwind that exceeded the airplanes limitations.
