Narrative:

Landing on runway 9 aircraft touched down on the first 1000 ft of runway. Decelerated aircraft with brakes then deployed drag chute. When drag chute blossomed it broke the link between it and the aircraft. This caused aircraft to overrun runway into grass. No damage was done to aircraft or runway lights. I feel that the link had been overloaded sometime in the past which contributed to the failure during this landing. During the event I was able to keep thinking all the ways to the stop of the aircraft which was evident in the path I steered to avoid damaging runway lights or the aircraft. After looking back on this occurrence, it was evident that the conditions for this type of aircraft were not optimum. I had a direct crosswind and it was a little hazy. I would not normally fly this aircraft under these conditions but this was a ferry flight from another destination and I had less control over the flight conditions than normal. Also, the tower did advise me of the chute loss the moment it happened which helped me decide how to continue the landing.

Title: PLT OF A PVT JET ACFT OVERRAN THE END OF THE RWY DURING LNDG DUE TO FAILURE OF THE DRAG CHUTE ATTACHMENT TO THE ACFT UPON DEPLOYMENT.

Narrative: LNDG ON RWY 9 ACFT TOUCHED DOWN ON THE FIRST 1000 FT OF RWY. DECELERATED ACFT WITH BRAKES THEN DEPLOYED DRAG CHUTE. WHEN DRAG CHUTE BLOSSOMED IT BROKE THE LINK BTWN IT AND THE ACFT. THIS CAUSED ACFT TO OVERRUN RWY INTO GRASS. NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO ACFT OR RWY LIGHTS. I FEEL THAT THE LINK HAD BEEN OVERLOADED SOMETIME IN THE PAST WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO THE FAILURE DURING THIS LNDG. DURING THE EVENT I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THINKING ALL THE WAYS TO THE STOP OF THE ACFT WHICH WAS EVIDENT IN THE PATH I STEERED TO AVOID DAMAGING RWY LIGHTS OR THE ACFT. AFTER LOOKING BACK ON THIS OCCURRENCE, IT WAS EVIDENT THAT THE CONDITIONS FOR THIS TYPE OF ACFT WERE NOT OPTIMUM. I HAD A DIRECT XWIND AND IT WAS A LITTLE HAZY. I WOULD NOT NORMALLY FLY THIS ACFT UNDER THESE CONDITIONS BUT THIS WAS A FERRY FLT FROM ANOTHER DEST AND I HAD LESS CTL OVER THE FLT CONDITIONS THAN NORMAL. ALSO, THE TWR DID ADVISE ME OF THE CHUTE LOSS THE MOMENT IT HAPPENED WHICH HELPED ME DECIDE HOW TO CONTINUE THE LNDG.
