On February 6, 2026, about 0925 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 560XL, N476JL, was
substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Danville, Kentucky. The two
flight crew and two passengers were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code
of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
According to the pilot, the planned flight was from Stuart Powell Field Airport (DVK), Danville,
Kentucky, to Bowling Green-Warren County Regional Airport (BWG), Bowling Green, Kentucky.
After picking up a passenger at BWG they intended to continue to Fort Wayne International
Airport (FWA), Fort Wayne, Indiana. The pilot and copilot performed the preflight walk-around
inspection using the checklist. The preflight paperwork was completed and the weather was
checked for both airports. They added 5,000 lbs. of fuel, resulting in a projected takeoff weight
of 18,000 lbs.
During taxi to the 5,000-ft-long runway, the before takeoff checklist was completed, which
included verifying and checking flight control position and movement. No anomalies were
noted with the airplane, and the takeoff roll was initiated. At 103 kts, the pilot pulled back on
the yoke; however, the airplane did not rotate and all three landing gear remained on the
runway. He verified the airspeed was above 103 kts; however, the airplane would not rotate, so
he decided to abort the takeoff.
The pilot applied maximum braking and deployed the thrust reversers. The airplane began to
slow down but he knew insufficient runway remained to stop. The airplane contacted a snow
berm at the end of the runway and all three landing gear collapsed. The airplane then traveled
about 450 ft before coming to rest in a field. The main landing gear were forced up through the
wings, which resulted in substantial damage.
The airplane was retained for further examination.
