NTSB Factual Report

On Friday August 10, 2018, about 2050 eastern daylight time, a Gulfstream IV airplane, N619A, operated by Pegasus Elite Aviation as PEGJET flight 19, was on a visual approach and cleared to land on runway 35 at Philadelphia International Airport (KPHL). During the approach, the airplane aligned with taxiway E. About 0.10 mile from the end of taxiway E, the pilot initiated a go-around. The airplane overflew four air carrier airplanes on taxiway E during the go-around climb. The incident airplane came within about 200 ft of the first airplane on the taxiway. At the time of the approach, the runway 35 runway end identifier lights and the precision approach path indicator lights were out of service. There were no injuries to the seven passengers and crew onboard, and the airplane was not damaged. The airplane was operating under 14 Code of Federal Regulation Part 135 as a charter flight.
