What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: I will simply start with the clearance to taxi. I was at the spirit aviation holding short of taxiway "d". I was cleared to taxi to 11L & hold. Some where about here I think I advised "unfamiliar". I taxied down "d" to the hold area & stopped. Four F-16'S were landing. After going to the tower frequency I was cleared on to the active & hold. As I wanted the jet wash & wing turbulence to be well subsided I called for a delay. I don't think the tower quite understood & he said the fighter would clear the r/w in about 30 seconds. I slowly taxied on to the r/w & held again cleared for takeoff. I added power to go. It was a good straight run. As I glanced at the air speed (60-65 mph is this a/c's rotation speed) it showed in the 50'S, as I looked back at the runway I saw a dark cable pass under the nose of the a/c immediately there after the nose of the a/c dropped toward the r/w & I heard & felt the propeller strike the r/w surface. I throttled back & as I had the a/c under control (& it was slowing) I slowly eased off to the left side. The engine was still idling & turning. I pulled the mixture back & a few seconds later turned the magneto switches off. I called the tower. I forget my exact words but told them I had a problem. As the a/c normally sits low I don't think they analyzed the situation for short (dpt) period of time. I checked all switches off & exited the plane, then got my passenger (wife) out. We moved to the side of the r/w, just in case. The fire trucks, police, etc. Arrived & secured the site. They were quite efficient. That's the crux of the incident. This is a good simulation, but for exact wording, times, etc., I suggest you review the tower tapes. End. End
As the FAA filed it
NARRATIVE: I WILL SIMPLY START WITH THE CLEARANCE TO TAXI. I WAS AT THE SPIRIT AVIATION HOLDING SHORT OF TAXIWAY "D". I WAS CLEARED TO TAXI TO 11L & HOLD. SOME WHERE ABOUT HERE I THINK I ADVISED "UNFAMILIAR". I TAXIED DOWN "D" TO THE HOLD AREA & STOPPED. FOUR F-16'S WERE LANDING. AFTER GOING TO THE TOWER FREQUENCY I WAS CLEARED ON TO THE ACTIVE & HOLD. AS I WANTED THE JET WASH & WING TURBULENCE TO BE WELL SUBSIDED I CALLED FOR A DELAY. I DON'T THINK THE TOWER QUITE UNDERSTOOD & HE SAID THE FIGHTER WOULD CLEAR THE R/W IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS. I SLOWLY TAXIED ON TO THE R/W & HELD AGAIN CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF. I ADDED POWER TO GO. IT WAS A GOOD STRAIGHT RUN. AS I GLANCED AT THE AIR SPEED (60-65 MPH IS THIS A/C'S ROTATION SPEED) IT SHOWED IN THE 50'S, AS I LOOKED BACK AT THE RUNWAY I SAW A DARK CABLE PASS UNDER THE NOSE OF THE A/C IMMEDIATELY THERE AFTER THE NOSE OF THE A/C DROPPED TOWARD THE R/W & I HEARD & FELT THE PROPELLER STRIKE THE R/W SURFACE. I THROTTLED BACK & AS I HAD THE A/C UNDER CONTROL (& IT WAS SLOWING) I SLOWLY EASED OFF TO THE LEFT SIDE. THE ENGINE WAS STILL IDLING & TURNING. I PULLED THE MIXTURE BACK & A FEW SECONDS LATER TURNED THE MAGNETO SWITCHES OFF. I CALLED THE TOWER. I FORGET MY EXACT WORDS BUT TOLD THEM I HAD A PROBLEM. AS THE A/C NORMALLY SITS LOW I DON'T THINK THEY ANALYZED THE SITUATION FOR SHORT (DPT) PERIOD OF TIME. I CHECKED ALL SWITCHES OFF & EXITED THE PLANE, THEN GOT MY PASSENGER (WIFE) OUT. WE MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE R/W, JUST IN CASE. THE FIRE TRUCKS, POLICE, ETC. ARRIVED & SECURED THE SITE. THEY WERE QUITE EFFICIENT. THAT'S THE CRUX OF THE INCIDENT. THIS IS A GOOD SIMULATION, BUT FOR EXACT WORDING, TIMES, ETC., I SUGGEST YOU REVIEW THE TOWER TAPES. END. END
