This report discusses the May 31, 2014, accident in which a Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation G-IV, N121JM, registered to SK Travel, LLC, and operated by Arizin Ventures, LLC, crashed after it overran the end of runway 11 during a rejected takeoff at Laurence G. Hanscom Field, Bedford, Massachusetts. The two pilots, a flight attendant, and four passengers died. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces and a postcrash fire. Safety issues relate to the need for flight crew use of the challenge-verification-response format for checklist execution, analysis of flight operational quality assurance data to define the scope of procedural noncompliance in business aviation, replacement of nonfrangible fittings with frangible fittings for any objects along the extended runway centerline up to the perimeter fence, retrofit of the gust lock system on all existing G-IV airplanes to comply with the certification requirement that the gust lock limit the operation of the airplane so that the pilot receives an unmistakable warning if the lock is engaged at the start of takeoff, and guidance on the appropriate use and limitations of the review of engineering drawings in a design review performed as a means of showing compliance with certification regulations. Safety recommendations are addressed to the Federal Aviation Administration, the International Business Aviation Council, and the National Business Aviation Association. |
