Date & Time: 04/24/2020, 1520 EDT

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal
On April 24, 2020, about 1520 eastern daylight time, an Israel Aircraft Industries 1125 Astra SP, Venezuelan registration YV3427, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The airline transport pilot, commercial copilot, and one passenger were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that he was conducting a takeoff on runway 27 with the intended destination of Simón Bolívar International Airport (CCS), Maiquetía, Venezuela. During the takeoff roll, at rotation speed, the airplane did not respond when the pilot pulled back on the control yoke. He tried to rotate again, and the airspeed was in excess of V1, about 130 knots. With no response, he performed a rejected takeoff with maximum braking and full reverse thrust. The airplane departed the end of runway 27, proceeded through the overrun, and into the grass beyond the runway. The airplane pivoted to the left and came to a stop in the grass, near the perimeter access road. The crew and passengers exited the airplane and were met by first responders.
Inspectors with the Federal Aviation Administration responded to the accident site and examined the wreckage. The nose and right main landing gear collapsed during the accident sequence and the airplane sustained substantial damage to the forward fuselage and right wing. The passenger cabin was loaded with cargo, which was offloaded and weighed. First responders observed fuel leaking from the right-wing fuel tank.
The wreckage was retained for further investigation. The airplane was equipped with a cockpit voice recorder; it was removed and shipped to the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory, Washington, DC for readout.

FORT LAUDERDALE, – A Venezuelan-registered Israel Aerospace Industries-manufactured twin-engine business jet ran off the end of the runway on April 24th at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport during a failed attempt to takeoff, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
According to Kathleen Bergen, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration, three people were onboard the IAI 1125 Astra SP, which was headed to Simon Bolivar International Airport in Maiquetia, Venezuela.
Ft. Lauderdale Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Stephen Gollan said firefighters responded quickly because the plane was carrying 6,800 pounds of fuel.
“There was smoke coming from the right side of the IAI 1125 Astra SP,” Gollan said. “Our firefighters immediately put foam blankets down and extinguished any possibility for fire in the area."
Gollan said the two men and a woman inside were able to step off the plane safely and were not injured
A Federal Aviation Administration employee was there to begin the investigation, Bergen said, adding that The National Transportation Safety Board will determine the probable cause of the accident.
