An IBC Airways Saab 340A freighter, registration N631BC performing flight II-101 from Miami,FL (USA) to Nassau (Bahamas) with 2 crew, was climbing out of Miami's runway 08L when the crew stopped the climb at 5000 feet due to a hydraulic failure and decided to return to Miami. The aircraft approached runway 09, queried ATC whether ATC could see all gear down - which tower confirmed - and decided to go around for another approach, positioned for another approach to runway 09, touched down and rolled out. While vacating the runway the aircraft veered off and came to a stop in the grass.

The FAA reported: "AIRCRAFT DECLARED AN EMERGENCY DUE TO A HYDRAULICS ISSUE AND RETURNED TO MIA, LANDED AND VEERED OFF RUNWAY INTO THE GRASS, MIAMI, FL."

The aircraft returned to service about 25 hours after landing.
