An Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500 jet, N434FX operating as Flexjet (LXJ434), sustained substantial damage following a hard landing on runway 04 at Brunswick-Malcolm McKinnon Airport, (SSI/KSSI), St Simons Island, GA.
The two pilots and six passengers were not injured.

Photos from the scene show that the airplane came to rest in a grassy area and that the right landing gear collapsed, and in the second photo, it appears the left-hand landing gear has been pushed up and through the top of the wing.

In the FAA Accident/Incident reporting database it says:

AIRCRAFT DEPARTED ASPHALT INTO GRASS AFTER LANDING AND ATTEMPTING TO EXIT RUNWAY ONTO TAXIWAY.

Apparently (info off a forum - not verified) the PIC stated total FBW failure at 40ft.

Embraers rep told me that they donīt know anything yet.

Anyone any more info on that they could point me to ?

I heard that they got too slow on short final, resulting in the FBW system trying to stop them from stalling / preventing them from flaring.

It is really odd that there is no NTSB entry/notice of an ongoing investigation, not only because of the damage, but also because of the PIC's remark that the FBW had failed. That would certainly make it a matter of interest.

Haven`t flown the P500 yet, but the P600s autothrottle can be a bit slow and thus it is possible to get a tad slow. The P500s system is the same, wether the derated engines make em more sluggish in response I donīt know... can somebody with experience on both comment ?
