Excerpt on the aborted takeoff of Allegiant Flight #436: “…The jet began to lift off from the runway before it was moving fast enough for a normal takeoff, and the front of the plane stayed up even as a pilot adjusted the controls in a way that should have kept the nosewheel on the runway, according to an incident report filed by the airline to the FAA. The pilots then aborted the takeoff, according to the FAA. Allegiant said an inspection found that a device that moves one of the plane’s two elevators had become disconnected. The plane was repaired and put back into service….”

Blackbushe Airport is located approximately 15-miles southwest of London. In the same pattern as most major U.S. airports, Blackbushe was created to serve the war effort in the early 1940’s, then became a civilian airport. The facility was privatized and today serves as a major port of entry for private and corporate jets flying to the London area. The Phenom jet is single-piloted (as opposed to the traditional crew of 2- or 3- pilots/engineers). FAA and other regulatory authorities have slowly authorized single-piloted jets, a concept that some feel is imposing excessive risk into aviation. A similar single-pilot Phenom crash on 12/8/2014 killed all 3 on board, as well as 3 family members in a home impacted during a landing approach at Gathersburg, MD.

The real ‘newsworthy’ part of this story is that this incident even made the news. Historically, flying while intoxicated is nearly impossible to charge, because FAA tends to sweep stories like this under the rug. Perhaps it happened this time because the incident involved a contract control tower?
