Overweight Citation V with snow-contaminated wings failed to rotate before overrun

A Cessna 560 Citation V executive jet experienced a critical failure during an attempted take-off at a Colorado airport, resulting in an overrun. US investigators have concluded that the aircraft was overweight and operating with snow-contaminated wings at the time of the incident. The jet’s control surfaces did not respond fully to pilot commands, specifically failing to initiate rotation. Neither of the pilots held the required qualifications for operation of the aircraft. This investigation is ongoing as authorities continue to analyze data from the event.
