Praetor 500 N434FX Landing Incident/Accident...
Happened on Septermber 21st:
https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/345811
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 ?

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.

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.

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.
