Not only is it a CL-600, but it is also based at FXE, same as the TEB accident aircraft. Geeze......

On March 9, 2005, at 1312 central standard time, a Canadair CL-600, N660RM, registered to Romeo Mike Aviation Company Inc., operating as a 14 CFR Part 91 business flight, aborted takeoff from runway 36 and went off the departure end of the runway. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and an instrument flight rules flight plan was filed. The airplane received substantial damage. The airline transport rated pilot-in-command, (PIC) airline transport rated co-pilot, and five passengers reported no injuries. The flight was departing Tupelo Regional Airport, Tupelo, Mississippi, en route to Teterboro, New Jersey on March 9, 2005.

The PIC stated they were cleared for takeoff from runway 36. The flaps were set at 20-degrees and the trim was set for takeoff. The PIC advanced the thrust levers to 93 percent and started the takeoff roll. The takeoff run and acceleration were normal. The airplane reached V1 (128 knots) and VR (134 knots) and the PIC attempted to rotate the airplane with the control column. The control column would not move aft from the neutral position. The forward movement of the control column was normal. The aft movement beyond the neutral position felt as if it was locked against a stop. The airplane was about 4,000 feet down the runway between 140 to 145 knots. No annunciator's lights were illuminated. The PIC commanded the abort, extended the spoilers, applied maximum braking, and maximum reverse thrust, and maintained centerline down the runway. After the abort was initiated the PIC stated he continued to apply rearward pressure on the control column and he was not sure if he felt or heard a "crunch." He further stated, something may have given and the control column may have moved aft of the neutral position. The PIC stated the "crunch" was felt or heard after or at the abort procedure. The noise or the crunch may have come from below the flight deck. The airplane went off the end of the runway and the nose wheel collapsed in the mud.

I see a grounding of CL-600's coming soon. Not good days for them. Just glad everyone is all right.

Here is the advisory wire that came out from Bombardier about the CL600. I can;t seem to copy to this post the photos of the microphone jack that was hitting the control column. If anyone wants to see the photos and the advisory wire just PM me.

1.0 INTRODUCTION:​

​

[/font]

The revision to this Advisory Wire (initially issued March 10) is to provide Operators with the status of the investigation into this accident and to provide details of a finding related to the hand held microphone audio jack assembly that was installed on the pilot and co-pilot control columns of this aircraft.


​

[font=TimesNewRoman,Bold]

2.0 INFORMATION:​

​

[/font]

A Challenger 600 aircraft overran the runway during take off from the airport in Tupelo, Mississippi on 09 March 2005. The weather conditions at the time were plus 6​

°C (43°F) with light rain and good visibility. The aircraft was departing with five passengers and two crew on board. No injuries were reported.


During the event, the take-off was rejected, and the aircraft overran the end of the runway by approximately 140 feet. The nose landing gear collapsed, and the area of the forward fuselage sustained damage. The aircraft Captain reported that when he attempted to rotate the aircraft, the control column would not move aft beyond the neutral position.

The accident investigation team has discovered that it is probable that the control column movement was restricted in the aft direction due to a microphone jack receptacle on the co-pilots control column that was found bent downwards.

An inspection of the co-pilot control column revealed that the hand held microphone jack receptacle (installed with two screws through a bracket on the lower side of the receptacle) mounted on the lower aft side of each control column approximately 1” from the bottom of the column, was bent downwards. (See photos below).

​

With the receptacle in this position, when the control column was pulled aft, the receptacle contacted the control column cover and prevented further aft movement of the column. It is not known yet what bent the microphone jack receptacle. The origin of the installation is not known at this time.


​

3.0 ACTION:​

​

[/font]

Bombardier recommends that if microphone jack receptacles similar to the one described in this AW are installed on their aircraft, Pilots should verify the security of the installation of the receptacle as part of the pre-flight visual inspection of the cockpit. Bombardier continues to support the NTSB with this investigation and we will keep you informed of any further developments.
