Gulfstream G1159B, Burbank, Calif., Oct. 13, 2006–Landing at Bob Hope Airport, the GII rolled into the engineered materials arresting system (EMAS) at the end of Runway 8. The captain said that the airplane landed in the first 20 percent of the runway and slowed to taxi speed.
At the end of the runway, he tried to turn the airplane 180 degrees. As he increased power to make the turn, the nosewheel touched the EMAS and immediately sank and continued to slide an additional 15 feet.
The flight crew was unaware of the EMAS. The captain said it was not depicted on the airport diagram or the Jeppesen approach plate. The NTSB investigator, however, found that the current airport diagram and the Jepp chart showed the EMAS. The two pilots and five passengers were not injured and the airplane was not damaged.
