  1. Flight Crew Performance

  2. Captain’s Experience • Flight hours • 3,140 hours total • Learjet 60: 35 hours total, 8 hours as pilot-in-command (PIC) • Captain PIC in two type airplanes, limited experience in each • Part 135: No minimum experience requirements for PIC in type

  3. Training for RTOs • Rejected takeoff (RTO) criteria • Before 80 kts: any anomaly • 80 kts - V1: major anomalies • Above V1: continue takeoff • RTO simulator training: engine failures at/around V1 • No training on tire failures

  4. Pretakeoff Briefing • Captain incorrectly briefed RTO between V1 and V2 • Contrary to training, procedures • V2 occurs after rotation speed • “Slip of the tongue” • RTO after V1 - startled from event

  5. Guidance on RTOs • FAA’s “Takeoff Safety Training Aid” • Tire failures difficult to identify • Pilots cautioned: Do not mistakenly RTO for tire failure • NTSB Special Investigation Report: High-speed RTOs for tires common • Typically no training for tire failures

  6. Crew Resource Management • Crew had some CRM training • CRM skills exhibited not effective • Incorrect information read back • No direct challenge to captain’s incorrect RTO briefing • Captain lacked leadership, wavered • Incomplete FAA action for Part 135 CRM training requirements
