Narrative:

Landed out of ILS at minimums to runway 24 at eri. ATIS remarks stated braking action 'good.' upon touchdown, spoilers deployed and I started applying reverse thrust. When I applied brakes, wheels went to total lock-up. I then realized braking action was about 'nil,' with no deceleration from brakes, I locked them up (full anti-skid) and increased reverse thrust to passenger continuous EPR. Aircraft maintained centerline and came to reset with nose gear 40-50 ft past runway end and main gear on runway. There was no panic, passenger and crew were calm and we waited for a bus to shuttle passenger to terminal. Subsequent examination by mechanics revealed no damage whatsoever to aircraft. Aircraft was flown out next day. I found out several days later that braking report was almost 2 hours old when we landed. This airport also has a history of overshoots at this exact spot (air carrier X DC9, learjet). Field condition reports should have a time noted, especially in rapidly changing WX conditions.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: A DC9 CREW, LNDG AT ERI, WERE UNABLE TO STOP ON THE CONFINES OF THE RWY, COMING TO REST WITH NOSE GEAR 40-50 FT PAST THE RWY END.

Narrative: LANDED OUT OF ILS AT MINIMUMS TO RWY 24 AT ERI. ATIS REMARKS STATED BRAKING ACTION 'GOOD.' UPON TOUCHDOWN, SPOILERS DEPLOYED AND I STARTED APPLYING REVERSE THRUST. WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES, WHEELS WENT TO TOTAL LOCK-UP. I THEN REALIZED BRAKING ACTION WAS ABOUT 'NIL,' WITH NO DECELERATION FROM BRAKES, I LOCKED THEM UP (FULL ANTI-SKID) AND INCREASED REVERSE THRUST TO PAX CONTINUOUS EPR. ACFT MAINTAINED CTRLINE AND CAME TO RESET WITH NOSE GEAR 40-50 FT PAST RWY END AND MAIN GEAR ON RWY. THERE WAS NO PANIC, PAX AND CREW WERE CALM AND WE WAITED FOR A BUS TO SHUTTLE PAX TO TERMINAL. SUBSEQUENT EXAM BY MECHS REVEALED NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER TO ACFT. ACFT WAS FLOWN OUT NEXT DAY. I FOUND OUT SEVERAL DAYS LATER THAT BRAKING RPT WAS ALMOST 2 HRS OLD WHEN WE LANDED. THIS ARPT ALSO HAS A HISTORY OF OVERSHOOTS AT THIS EXACT SPOT (ACR X DC9, LEARJET). FIELD CONDITION RPTS SHOULD HAVE A TIME NOTED, ESPECIALLY IN RAPIDLY CHANGING WX CONDITIONS.
