Two killed in plane crash near Colorado-Utah line after taking off from Grand Junction airport

Two people are dead after a plane crashed along the Colorado-Utah state line after taking off from Grand Junction Regional Airport on Wednesday morning.
The plane, a Hawker 900XP charter plane, took off from Grand Junction at 10:37 a.m. and crashed just ten minutes later on the Utah side of the border, according to flight tracking site ADS-B Exchange.
The plane was headed for Tacoma, Washington, according to Utah’s Grand County Sheriff’s Office in a news release.
Deputies confirmed a pilot and second in command were on the plane. The release said notification of the next of kin would come before their identities were released. A post about the crash on the Aviation Safety Network website stated the two occupants of the plane were dead.
A sheriff’s office spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for more information.
A photo the sheriff’s office posted on Facebook showed scorched grass and debris.

A friend in the USA used to work with the captain of the Hawker.

Plane crash update – what brought it down?
https://www.westernslopenow.com/colorad ... t-it-down/
WESTWATER, Utah (KREX) — 10:45 am, February 7th – a private jet departs from the Grand Junction Regional Airport with two souls on board – the pilot and the second in command.
After flying northwest for no more than a few minutes towards the Tacoma Narrows Airport in Washington, the hawker 900 XP jet crashed just over the Colorado border in Grand County, Utah.
The crash was reported just before noon. Was it bad weather, human error, or a machine malfunction that took this plane down?
Grand County Sheriffs are not the lead investigators in this case…spokesman Peter Knudson for National Transportation Safety Board tells Western Slope Now three NTSB investigators showed up on scene today. He tells Western Slope Now they’re focusing on studying perishable evidence at the crash.
He says NTSB will work with the FAA and Hawker jets to begin figuring out the cause of the crash.
Peter says NTSB will evaluate three factors – the pilots, the environment, and the plane.
When they look at the pilot, they’re looking at the recency of flight experience, their ratings, how much time they’ve had in that particular aircraft, their recent medical certificate, and their 72-hour background before the fatal flight.
We do not have the identification of the pilots at this time.
Then, they’ll look at the operating environment – that’s the weather, that’s the communication, and flight planning.
A photo submitted to Western Slope Now shows it wasn’t exactly a clear blue sky that day.
And lastly, the plane…Peter tells Western Slope Now this flight was actually the first flight after maintenance had been done to the jet.
He says, “I don’t have any information about the nature or the extent of that work. It could be related to the maintenance; it also could be coincidental.”
Peter explains the full investigation could take anywhere from 12 to 24 months; however, they will have a preliminary report out within about 30 days, and that will lay out the facts and the circumstances of the accident as they develop them throughout the investigation.

On a test flight after a major servicing we used to make the engineers fly on it. Just so they were there to answer questions of course.And lastly, the plane…Peter tells Western Slope Now this flight was actually the first flight after maintenance had been done to the jet.

According to Juan Browne the test flight was to check the stall warning system.
As Juan put it: "The test flight was a failure."

Not quite! the test of the system may well have been satisfactory, the handling not. 
We should find out.
