The\u2062 incident occurred when\u2063 the Hawker aircraft started rolling on the runway after \u2063being instructed to \u200bline up and wait for takeoff.<\/p>\n<p>According to NTSB\u200d spokesperson Peter Knudson, \u200cthe Hawker aircraft briefly became airborne before returning to the runway. \u200dIt is unclear whether the \u200bpilot failed to \u200chear\u2063 the instruction to wait.
