This report discusses the March 8, 2017, accident involving Ameristar Air Cargo, Inc., dba Ameristar Charters, flight 9363, a Boeing MD-83 airplane, which overran the departure end of runway 23L at Willow Run Airport, Ypsilanti, Michigan, after the captain executed a rejected takeoff. The 110 passengers and 6 flight crewmembers evacuated the airplane via emergency escape slides; however, one slide failed to inflate and could not be used. One passenger received a minor injury, and the airplane sustained substantial damage. Safety issues identified in this report include the lack of a means to enable flight crews of Boeing DC-9/MD-80 series and 717 model airplanes to verify before takeoff that the elevators are not jammed, the need for improved in-service inspection techniques for critical rotating parts of all engines, the need for lower ground gust criteria for elevator physical inspections and operational checks by maintenance personnel for Boeing DC 9/MD-80 series and 717 model airplanes, the potential inadequacy of ground gust limit loads for the certification of transport-category airplanes, the lack of procedures for operators of Boeing DC-9/MD-80 series and 717 model airplanes to monitor the wind that affects parked airplanes, the lack of procedures for weather observers related to sign off and backup augmentation responsibilities during a facility evacuation, and evacuation slide malfunction. As a result of this investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board makes three safety recommendations to the Federal Aviation Administration and three recommendations to The Boeing Company.
