Narrative:
On September 17, 2025, about 1742 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 750, N769XJ, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at San Diego International Airport (SAN), San Diego, California. The two pilots and four passengers sustained no injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135 commuter flight.

The pilot reported that during the takeoff roll, he felt an intense vibration coming from the nosewheel as the airplane accelerated through 100 knots, so he elected to abort the takeoff. Subsequently, during the abort, the nose landing gear collapsed, and the nose of the airplane settled onto the runway. When the airplane came to a stop on the runway, the pilots executed an emergency shutdown and safely evacuated all occupants from the airplane.

Post accident examination revealed that the airplane’s fuselage sustained substantial damage.

The airplane was recovered and retained for further examination.
