Narrative:

To the best of my recollection, 2 aircraft landed before I arrived in hpn which had been closed in order to plow and sand the runway. The 1ST aircraft to land after the airport was re- opened was a gulfstream ii that reported poor to fair braking action. I did not receive a report from the crew of the next aircraft. The wind was shifting from the south to the west and runway 16 was in use. On touchdown I felt the braking action was poor to nil. I elected to shut both engines down to help slow the aircraft. Running out of runway was not a concern to me however, with a crosswind, staying on the narrow sanded strip somewhat was. The aircraft slowed to approximately 5 mph with approximately 800 ft of runway remaining. I started the right engine and the nosewheel began to slide to the left. There was effectively no traction available. Moving very slowly still, I started the left engine in an attempt to achieve directional control. I knew that a lear was on final and I wanted to clear the runway so he could land. From my position, now almost stopped, the nosewheel became hung up against an ice build up along side of the runway. I was unable to move forward, back to the center of the runway that was sanded, then exit. I elected to shut down and advise tower that I needed assistance to move the aircraft. A total of 5 people pushed on the leading edge of the left wing in order to move the plane backwards and the nosewheel slid sideways. It was a skating rink on the runway. It was very difficult trying to start the engine as the nose wanted to slide. With both engines running, I cleared the runway and taxied to the ramp. The total delay on the runway was probably 6 mins. I feel the runway was opened too soon and that more sand should have been applied. I should not have concerned myself with the lear that was landing. He had to go around anyway.

Title: CORP JET HAS BRAKING NIL, SLIDES OFF RWY. FORCES GAR.

Narrative: TO THE BEST OF MY RECOLLECTION, 2 ACFT LANDED BEFORE I ARRIVED IN HPN WHICH HAD BEEN CLOSED IN ORDER TO PLOW AND SAND THE RWY. THE 1ST ACFT TO LAND AFTER THE ARPT WAS RE- OPENED WAS A GULFSTREAM II THAT RPTED POOR TO FAIR BRAKING ACTION. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RPT FROM THE CREW OF THE NEXT ACFT. THE WIND WAS SHIFTING FROM THE S TO THE W AND RWY 16 WAS IN USE. ON TOUCHDOWN I FELT THE BRAKING ACTION WAS POOR TO NIL. I ELECTED TO SHUT BOTH ENGS DOWN TO HELP SLOW THE ACFT. RUNNING OUT OF RWY WAS NOT A CONCERN TO ME HOWEVER, WITH A XWIND, STAYING ON THE NARROW SANDED STRIP SOMEWHAT WAS. THE ACFT SLOWED TO APPROX 5 MPH WITH APPROX 800 FT OF RWY REMAINING. I STARTED THE R ENG AND THE NOSEWHEEL BEGAN TO SLIDE TO THE L. THERE WAS EFFECTIVELY NO TRACTION AVAILABLE. MOVING VERY SLOWLY STILL, I STARTED THE L ENG IN AN ATTEMPT TO ACHIEVE DIRECTIONAL CTL. I KNEW THAT A LEAR WAS ON FINAL AND I WANTED TO CLR THE RWY SO HE COULD LAND. FROM MY POS, NOW ALMOST STOPPED, THE NOSEWHEEL BECAME HUNG UP AGAINST AN ICE BUILD UP ALONG SIDE OF THE RWY. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE FORWARD, BACK TO THE CTR OF THE RWY THAT WAS SANDED, THEN EXIT. I ELECTED TO SHUT DOWN AND ADVISE TWR THAT I NEEDED ASSISTANCE TO MOVE THE ACFT. A TOTAL OF 5 PEOPLE PUSHED ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE L WING IN ORDER TO MOVE THE PLANE BACKWARDS AND THE NOSEWHEEL SLID SIDEWAYS. IT WAS A SKATING RINK ON THE RWY. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TRYING TO START THE ENG AS THE NOSE WANTED TO SLIDE. WITH BOTH ENGS RUNNING, I CLRED THE RWY AND TAXIED TO THE RAMP. THE TOTAL DELAY ON THE RWY WAS PROBABLY 6 MINS. I FEEL THE RWY WAS OPENED TOO SOON AND THAT MORE SAND SHOULD HAVE BEEN APPLIED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE CONCERNED MYSELF WITH THE LEAR THAT WAS LNDG. HE HAD TO GAR ANYWAY.
