Suspected Brake Failure of NetJets Citation Excel
On September 19, a NetJets Cessna Citation rolled into the window of a line service building at New Jersey’s Teterboro Airport. The incident occurred just after 10:00 pm and was suspected to be caused by a brake failure.
Photos from the scene show the jet’s nose breaking through and shattering a large window of the building. The tail number pictured is N762QS, which is listed in FAA records as a NetJets-owned Cessna 560XL Citation XLS. The flight, EJA672, took off from Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) around 7:00 pm EDT and landed at Teterboro Airport (TEB) approximately 3 hours later.
Five people were on board the aircraft at the time, and no injuries were reported.
Teterboro Airport, located around 12 miles from midtown Manhattan, is classified as a general aviation reliever airport. It frequently hosts business and charter flights. The Citation reportedly rolled into the window of its line service building at the main terminal.
Teterboro Airport operations were able to continue, with emergency services quickly responding to the scene. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are moving in to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash. The NTSB will take the lead in determining the cause of the brake failure and damages to the building.
"We are currently working with the FAA to collect information about the event to determine if it meets the criteria for an NTSB investigation," the NTSB stated.
As the investigation progresses, updates will be provided regarding further findings that may result from this incident.
