- Date: December 18, 1992
- Aircraft: Dassault Falcon 10
- Location: McCall, Idaho, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The crew failed to follow the checklist and release the parking brake before takeoff, and the pilot did not abort the takeoff. A dim panel light also disabled the brake warning.
A Falcon 10 private jet with a parking brake partly set took off from McCall on a contaminated runway. The copilot noticed the lack of acceleration and called for an abort, but the pilot continued, failed to rotate, and the jet went through a snowbank beyond the runway end. Both pilots were seriously hurt and both passengers were slightly hurt.
