Narrative:

With the captain flying the aircraft, we executed an ILS approach to runway 04 at roc. The touchdown was at the 1000 ft mark and on speed. The autobrake had been selected to the #2 setting and the aircraft decelerated normally, slowing to 60 KTS with about 50 percent of the available runway remaining (4000 ft). After landing, tower directed us to taxi to the end of the runway to turn off and requested a braking action report. The thrust reversers and spoilers were stowed and manual brakes applied. Braking action was deemed fair to good and the aircraft was slowed to a moderate taxi speed. With about 1000 ft of runway remaining the brakes were reapplied and again the aircraft responded normally, slowing the aircraft even further. At about 100 ft from the end of the runway light braking was applied to slow the aircraft to turn-off speed. There was no response to this braking and the aircraft did not slow at all. Brake pressure was increased to maximum braking with no apparent effect on deceleration. Because of our slow taxi speed, I elected to try and turn the corner rather than slide off the end of the runway. The cornering forces however, were insufficient to negotiate a 90 degree right turn and the aircraft landing gear clipped a snow bank adjacent to the intersection of runway 04 and taxiway C. We taxied into the gate area without further incident. We reported the incident and that braking action was 'nil' at the runway end to the tower by radio. After securing the aircraft and reporting the incident to maintenance, I contacted the airport ground crew by telephone. They reported that they had re-sanded and vehicle tested the runway end and that braking action was now reported as fair. They also reported inspecting the area where the incident occurred and finding 1 damaged taxiway light in the area. Maintenance inspected the aircraft and found no damage or discrepancies and returned the aircraft to service. I also reported the incident to our flight operations duty officer and company dispatcher. We departed roc on our succeeding flight on schedule.

Title: TXWY EXCURSION.

Narrative: WITH THE CAPT FLYING THE ACFT, WE EXECUTED AN ILS APCH TO RWY 04 AT ROC. THE TOUCHDOWN WAS AT THE 1000 FT MARK AND ON SPD. THE AUTOBRAKE HAD BEEN SELECTED TO THE #2 SETTING AND THE ACFT DECELERATED NORMALLY, SLOWING TO 60 KTS WITH ABOUT 50 PERCENT OF THE AVAILABLE RWY REMAINING (4000 FT). AFTER LNDG, TWR DIRECTED US TO TAXI TO THE END OF THE RWY TO TURN OFF AND REQUESTED A BRAKING ACTION RPT. THE THRUST REVERSERS AND SPOILERS WERE STOWED AND MANUAL BRAKES APPLIED. BRAKING ACTION WAS DEEMED FAIR TO GOOD AND THE ACFT WAS SLOWED TO A MODERATE TAXI SPD. WITH ABOUT 1000 FT OF RWY REMAINING THE BRAKES WERE REAPPLIED AND AGAIN THE ACFT RESPONDED NORMALLY, SLOWING THE ACFT EVEN FURTHER. AT ABOUT 100 FT FROM THE END OF THE RWY LIGHT BRAKING WAS APPLIED TO SLOW THE ACFT TO TURN-OFF SPD. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO THIS BRAKING AND THE ACFT DID NOT SLOW AT ALL. BRAKE PRESSURE WAS INCREASED TO MAX BRAKING WITH NO APPARENT EFFECT ON DECELERATION. BECAUSE OF OUR SLOW TAXI SPD, I ELECTED TO TRY AND TURN THE CORNER RATHER THAN SLIDE OFF THE END OF THE RWY. THE CORNERING FORCES HOWEVER, WERE INSUFFICIENT TO NEGOTIATE A 90 DEG R TURN AND THE ACFT LNDG GEAR CLIPPED A SNOW BANK ADJACENT TO THE INTXN OF RWY 04 AND TXWY C. WE TAXIED INTO THE GATE AREA WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. WE RPTED THE INCIDENT AND THAT BRAKING ACTION WAS 'NIL' AT THE RWY END TO THE TWR BY RADIO. AFTER SECURING THE ACFT AND RPTING THE INCIDENT TO MAINT, I CONTACTED THE ARPT GND CREW BY TELEPHONE. THEY RPTED THAT THEY HAD RE-SANDED AND VEHICLE TESTED THE RWY END AND THAT BRAKING ACTION WAS NOW RPTED AS FAIR. THEY ALSO RPTED INSPECTING THE AREA WHERE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AND FINDING 1 DAMAGED TXWY LIGHT IN THE AREA. MAINT INSPECTED THE ACFT AND FOUND NO DAMAGE OR DISCREPANCIES AND RETURNED THE ACFT TO SVC. I ALSO RPTED THE INCIDENT TO OUR FLT OPS DUTY OFFICER AND COMPANY DISPATCHER. WE DEPARTED ROC ON OUR SUCCEEDING FLT ON SCHEDULE.
