The aircraft experienced a brake fire following an aborted takeoff attempt at Aspen-Pitkin County Airport/Sardy Field (KASE), in Aspen, Colorado. The airplane sustained minor damage and the seven occupants onboard were not injured during the incident.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this incident as follows: The pilot's rejected takeoff due to perceived flight control system anomalies, which led to excessive brake temperatures and resulted in a right main landing gear brake fire.
A postincident examination of the airplane, including the flight control system, did not reveal any anomalies that would have compromised the effectiveness of the flight control system. Although minor variations in the inboard elevator control cable tension and elevator control surface deflections were noted, these variations also likely existed during the initial flight of the day; the pilots of that flight reported no discrepancies.
