NTSB: GIV Brakes, Thrust Reversers Activated

The NTSB says that data recovered from the flight data recorder (FDR) a Gulfstream IV jet that was involved in a fatal crash at Hanscom Field in Bedford, Mass., Saturday indicates the crew aborted the takeoff after reaching about 165 knots. The thrust reversers were apparently deployed and brake pressures were rising, according to NTSB lead investigator Luke Schiadas statements in a news conference at the scene Tuesday. The Boston Globe is reporting that the scenario described suggests an aborted takeoff, although Schiada declined to say outright that the crew was trying to stop the airplane. He said he was not going to speculate why the crew was taking the actions it was.
