- Date: August 31, 2019
- Aircraft: Cessna 510 Citation Mustang
- Location: El Monte-San Gabriel Valley, California, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Pilot failure to disengage the parking brake before takeoff, causing reduced acceleration and a runway overrun after an aborted takeoff.
A Cessna 510 Citation Mustang began its takeoff roll at El Monte with the parking brake not fully released. The aircraft stopped accelerating at about 70 knots, the pilot aborted, and it veered left off the runway end into a perimeter fence. The pilot and passenger had minor injuries. The NTSB blamed the pilot for not disengaging the parking brake.
