On September 18, 2025, a Cessna Citation CJ4 N577RT overran Runway 19 at Mayfield, Kentucky, crossed a fence, and ended up ramming into a house. The pilot said the brakes “didn’t work.” But flight data shows the jet approaching at over 200 knots—far too fast for a safe landing on a 5,000-foot runway.
In this deep-dive, we revisit our earlier analysis and examine the tension between what the pilot felt and what the data reveals. We explain how the CJ4’s braking system works—including the normal hydraulic system with anti-skid and the emergency pneumatic backup.
We also compare this accident to a similar one in Brazil: a 2014 Citation crash where the captain misidentified the emergency brake lever and never engaged it. That aircraft also overran a short runway, with eerily similar circumstances.
The takeaway? Speed control, system knowledge, and cockpit design can mean the difference between a safe landing—or ending up in someone’s living room.
If you're a pilot or aviation enthusiast, this breakdown reveals how investigators weigh perception vs reality.
