A Cessna 750, N750WM, registered to WM Aviation LLC, departed the right side of Runway 13L on a landing roll out of JFK International Airport, New York, N.Y., at about 2014 EST. After touchdown, the copilot, who was flying the airplane, stated he did not have nosewheel steering, brakes, or any feeling of engine thrust reverse at approximately 80 knots. The crew applied emergency air brakes and the airplane veered off the runway to the right and collided with a dirt divider, sheared off the left main landing gear and buckled the nose gear.

New from Howard Leight are the Thunder T2HV high-visibility earmuffs that provide users with a total solution for hearing protection and visibility. The bright green earcups provide a highly noticeable contrast against dark settings especially in low lighting or inclement weather. They also incorporate an exclusive reflective headband that illuminates when exposed to light. Dielectric construction in Thunder T2HV earmuffs will not conduct electricity, making them ideal for almost all high-noise environments.
