I don't know all the details but I think the aircraft may have been very close to MGTOW with 6 souls (bags) and enough fuel (full) for a west bound trip from South Carolina to KVNY.
So even in a perfect world BFL margin (with the factor) would be very small for the LR60. (Even with the 3-rotor brake system)

Then blow MLG tire or just shed the tread (which has happened to me more than once) and this margin probably goes away.
The possibility also exists that the accelerated tire parts may have damaged the squat switch and depending on the aircraft mod status could have lead to the un-commanded stow of the TR's.

And then we have all the other factors:
Late night take off. (Fatigue)
Possibility of critter on the runway. (Strike critter - damage to other parts of landing gear and aircraft)


The LR60 was made to fly. What ever prompted the apparent attempt to abort is still unclear but we do know that the crews actions preserved the life of two people and for that I am sure they are thankful.

my hats off...

go easy
