NTSB Cites Crew, Inop Brakes in Fatal Falcon 50 Overrun
The crash of a Falcon 50 in 2018 turned out to involve an illegal charter, although the NTSB did not take that into account.

This week, the NTSB has released the final report on the fatal overrun crash of a Falcon 50 on Sept. 27, 2018, in Greenville, South Carolina. While the report’s probable cause cites the fact that the airplane was flown by unqualified pilots and with unresolved discrepancies, the NTSB did not highlight the fact that the flight was an illegal charter. Both pilots were killed in the accident, and the two paying passengers were seriously injured.
