I love the haphazard reporting of this. Depending on where you get your news from, the plane "crash landed because it's landing gear did not extend" (according to PerthNow), or perhaps "the landing gear failed as it was taxi-ing for take-off" (if you read The West Australian). If you listened to 94.5 this morning, the news guy on there said that there was "nobody on board" - I really think he meant to say there was nobody injured If you read WA Today then you'll learn that "a light aircraft crash landed on take off" which is quite a clever feat - crash landing on take-off! That article quotes someone from Perth Airport saying that tyres blew and the aircraft had to abort its take-off and became disabled on the runway.

FlightRadar24 shows the plane starting its take-off run and then coming to a halt on the runway.

The aircraft was a Cessna Citation, registration VH-MXD.

I think the best report is the ABCs

An aircraft, or Learjet as they called it, aborted a take off, because its gear collapsed during taxi to the runway...

I'm yet to work out how an aircraft can start a take off, to abort one, if its gear collapsed before it go to the runway to take off!

MEDIA STATEMENT 25 MARCH 2013

March 25, 2013

At approximately 6.02am this morning during a routine departure on the main runway (03/21), a small jet aircraft aborted take-off.

The two main gear tyres blew and, as a result, the aircraft became disabled on the runway.
There were nine passengers on board, and there were no injuries.
Operations at Perth Airport are continuing as usual, with all aircraft using the cross runway until the disabled aircraft is removed. It is estimated the main runway (03/21) will reopen by 10.00am.
No delays to other aircraft have occurred.
