The FAA is not formally investigating a ramp accident that took place September 20 at McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas, during which an unattended Falcon 900EX rolled through the airport fence and onto Tropicana Avenue.

Falcon N900Q was sitting on the ramp near Atlantic Aviation, according to an FAA spokesman, and the pilots were preparing to depart. The owner of the airplane called the pilots and said he had decided not to leave and would be spending the night in Las Vegas. “So the crew closed the door and went home,” the spokesman said. “They didn’t chock it or set the parking brake, and it took its little journey.”
