- In May 2014, a Gulfstream G-IV overran the runway during a rejected takeoff and crashed after the flight crew did not disengage the gust lock system or perform a flight control check before takeoff. All seven people on board died. The investigation found that the flight crewmembers had neglected to perform complete flight control checks before 98% of their previous 175 takeoffs in the airplane.
