Preliminary Reports

Flap Setting May Have Been Missed in Runway Excursion

Hawker 900XP, July 20, 2024, Telluride, Colorado

The twin jet that was damaged when it ran off the end of Runway 27 at Colorado’s Telluride Regional Airport (KTEX) during an aborted takeoff apparently was not configured for departure as the pilot had calculated, according to the NTSB preliminary report of the July 20 accident. The report also noted that weather data indicated the aircraft might have attempted to take off with a tailwind.

The two pilots were not injured in the accident, but the lower fuselage was substantially damaged when the aircraft traveled over the engineered material arresting system (EMAS) and came to a stop about 150 feet from the runway threshold. They were on a repositioning flight without passengers to Miami Executive Airport (KTMB) after completing an on-demand passenger flight earlier in the day, landing on KTEX’s Runway 9.
