A Summit Air Avro RJ-100, registration C-FRJY performing flight SUT-8292 from Nanaimo,BC to Prince Rupert,BC (Canada) with 38 people on board, landed on Prince Rupert's runway 31 but nearing the end of the runway started to slide sideways and went past the end of the runway damaging a runway end light in the process. The aircraft stopped about 30 meters past the runway end facing northeast. The passengers disembarked onto the runway and were bussed to the terminal. There were no injuries and no visible damage to the aircraft. The aircraft subsequently taxied to the apron on its own power.

The Canadian TSB reported the occurrence is being investigated (Class 4).

On Oct 8th 2024 the TSB released their final report releasing following safety message:

Runway conditions can change rapidly, and the most recent RSC report may not be an accurate representation of the current condition of the runway, especially outside of normal airport operating hours.

It is important for operators to take advantage of all options available to them to obtain current and/or relevant RSC reports, especially when aircraft operations take place outside of normal airport operating hours.

The TSB summarized the sequence of events:

At CYPR, the occurrence aircraft conducted a straight-in approach using the area navigation global navigation satellite system Runway 31 approach via the initial approach waypoint. The aircraft touched down on Runway 31 at 0749, approximately 1600 feet from the runway threshold and at a ground speed of 112 knots.

The wing spoilers automatically deployed upon touchdown, and the flight crew members then applied the brakes; however, they did not feel any deceleration from the brakes. The flight crew had the ability to switch between 2 independent hydraulic systems for braking and subsequently switched to the 2nd hydraulic system, with no change in braking effectiveness. As the aircraft started to lose speed and neared the end of the runway with little appreciable deceleration from the application of brakes with either hydraulic system, the flight crew activated the emergency brake system in a final attempt to slow the aircraft. The flight crew also initiated the shutdown of engines No. 1 and No. 4 in an attempt to reduce thrust. As the aircraft was approaching the end of the runway, the captain tried to steer it using the nose wheel tiller. The aircraft started to slide sideways, and it subsequently contacted 2 runway end lights and slid beyond the end of the runway by approximately 30 m.
