SUBJECT: General (ATA 05) – Gulfstream IV Aborts Takeoff
On February 7, 2015, a Gulfstream IV operator aborted a takeoff due to failure of the aircraft to rotate. The aircraft was slowed and taxied from the runway, at which time a fire was observed coming from the right brakes. The fire was extinguished and all passengers and crew safely disembarked from the aircraft.
