Incident in Jersey
Heard that a Citation may have had "issues" in Jersey yesterday, anyone able to shed any light on it?

Heard (third hand!)that it didn't actually leave the ground, so it was possibly a high speed abort.

It was a high speed aborted takeoff due to a technical fault, and no it did not leave the ground.
Nothing exciting I'm afraid.

Nothing exciting?
Aircraft makes high speed abort. Fire and mayhem and it's "Nothing exciting"?
Kudos
C'monnnn. You can do better than that (please?). Type? Reg? Nature of the 'technical fault'? Souls on board? All ok?
Don't make me come round there.

No, the park brake isn't also the emergency brake on a CJ.
Incidentally, a Sierra Eagle II will quite happly set off at quite a lick with the park brake set, should a happy chap carelessly set takeoff pwr, but sadly the wheels will not be a rollin'. Smoke - and quite possibly flames - would shortly ensue, if only from the CP's nostrils.
Finally, attempting to set the control locks on any Citation derivative whilst in motion would be a very, very silly thing to do.... nostrils, again.
(sotto) ... as would leaving a drawer open in an aircraft in a dark hangar, so the said CP skins his shin when climbing aboard early one morning.

VCR,
No, am glad to say I wasn't flying it that day.
Having to stop from high speed and then finding ones brakes overheat and catch on fire isn't my idea of a fun day.
Chinchilla.
