On October 29, 1988, a Canadair CL-600-1A11 Challenger 600 jet, N909MG, experienced a significant incident during an aborted takeoff and collision with two parked airplanes at Aspen Pitkin County Airport (ASE/KASE). The pilot, Lieutenant Peter, initiated the aborted takeoff and subsequently experienced a series of steering and control issues. The aircraft’s flight attendant and four passengers were not injured. The PLT utilized the NewWheel Steering System (NWSS) during taxiing to the runway, and while taxiing, he initiated a 180-degree turn and a roll, failing to activate thrust reversers. Subsequent acceleration of the aircraft without thrust reversers resulted in a collision with two parked airplanes. The PLT reported difficulty in steering the aircraft during the roll and the pilot subsequently delayed thrust levers to idle, applying maximum braking and reverse thrust. The aircraft ultimately impacted three parked aircraft before stopping. Investigation revealed that the NWSS and thrust reversers were in good working order, with no mechanical failures or malfunctions observed during post-accident examinations. The incident was likely caused by the pilot’s failure to follow established takeoff procedures and direct orders, coupled with a lack of timely abort action.On October 29, 1988, a Canadair CL-600-1A11 Challenger 600 jet, N909MG, experienced a significant incident during an aborted takeoff and collision with two parked airplanes at Aspen Pitkin County Airport (ASE/KASE).
