A Swearingen SA226-AT was conducting flight PHX-011 from Sioux Lookout Airport (CYXL), ON, to Atikokan Muni Aerodrome (CYIB), ON. The aircraft flew the approach to Runway 04 and touchdown occurred on the wet runway at approximately 1300 feet beyond the threshold; therefore, there was approximately 2195 feet remaining. The flight crew applied reverse, and at 70 knots, the propeller speed levers were selected to the low position. The captain applied the brakes to slow the aircraft; however, the aircraft overran the end of the runway by approximately 15 feet. The flight crew assessed the situation and attempted to turn the aircraft around on the grassy area beyond the end of the runway; however, the aircraft became stuck. The flight crew shutdown and the 5 occupants disembarked from the aircraft. There was no damage to the aircraft. There were no injuries.
A post-occurrence review of the weather indicated that the automated weather observations at CYIB recorded surface winds at 21:00z were 330 @ 17 knots. The operator's maintenance was dispatched to CYIB to free the aircraft. They inspected the aircraft and returned it to service.
