- Date: May 20, 2002
- Aircraft: Cessna 550 Citation II
- Location: Oklahoma City-Wiley Post, Oklahoma, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: An anomalous elevator trim system and the pilot's failure to check its setting before takeoff. The trim was found 12 degrees nose-down.
A Cessna 550 Citation II chartered from Oklahoma City to Greeley overran the runway during an aborted takeoff and went through two fences. The pilot found he could not raise the nose at rotation speed and rejected the takeoff at about 120 knots. The elevator trim was found badly misset, and the aircraft was substantially damaged.
