A Gulfstream GIV aborted its takeoff from Eagle County (Colo.) Regional Airport’s 9,000-foot runway on February 7 because of a “failure of the aircraft to rotate,” according to a Gulfstream operator letter published last week. The aircraft, operated by Fair Wind Air Charter as a Part 91 flight, was successfully brought to a halt on the hard surface, despite the crew’s decision to abort above rotation speed. Braking efforts required to stop the aircraft created a fire in the right main wheel assembly that deflated both tires. The fire was quickly extinguished by airport fire fighters.
