Summary
At about 0650 local time on 7 February 2024 at Timaru Aerodrome, New Zealand, a Q300 passenger aircraft, registration ZK-NEF, aborted an attempted take-off at speed and stopped at the end of the runway. There were no injuries and there was no reported damage to the plane.
The New Zealand Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC) is investigating the occurrence. TAIC has requested assistance from the ATSB to download the aircraft’s cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and analyse the flight data recorder (FDR) to assist their investigation.
To facilitate this support and to provide the appropriate protections for the information, the ATSB appointed an accredited representative in accordance with paragraph 5.23 of ICAO Annex 13 and commenced an investigation under the Australian Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003.
Any enquiries relating to the New Zealand AO-2024-001 investigation should be directed to TAIC.
