A Hawker 800XP corporate jet, performing flight PVO720, suffered a runway excursion on landing at Richmond International Airport (Byrd Field) (RIC/KRIC), Virginia. Runway 16/34 was temporarily closed after the incident.
At 12:05 PVO720 requested to break off ILS runway 16 approach because of nose gear not centering. They took delaying vectors to work out issue and declared an emergency at 12:12. The pilots requested to do a fly by at RIC. At 12:26 RIC advised the gear appeared down. They were vectored back around for another approach. Upon touchdown of the nose wheel the aircraft began pulling to the right. The pilots managed controls to keep the aircraft on the runway but were unable and the aircraft veered off into the grass.
Inspection revealed an underserviced nose strut.
