## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: HISTORY OF FLIGHT; ON 02-01-96 AT APPROXIMATELY 1625 LOCAL, MOONEY N231CS, FLOWN BY FRANK E. JOHNSON, RAN OFF THE END OF RUNWAY 29L AT STOCKTON AIRPORT (SCK) DURING TAKE OFF. THE FLIGHT WAS FOR PERSONAL BUSINESS, VFR CONDITIONS PREVAILED AND AN IFR FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED. THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND NO INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANTS. THE PILOT HOLDS A PRIVATE PILOT CERTIFICATE. INVESTIGATION RESULTS: THE PILOT WAS PICKING UP THE AIRCRAFT AFTER MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN PERFORMED TO THE WINDSHIELD AND THE RUDDER LEADING EDGE. DURING THAT MAINTENANCE, THE ELEVATOR TRIM HAD BEEN RUN TO THE FULL DOWN POSITION FOR ACCESS. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE USED THE CHECKLIST PRIOR TO TAKE OFF, BUT THAT HE OMITTED CHECKING THE TRIM BY ACCIDENT. VISUAL INSPECTION SHOWED THAT THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER AND TO THE RIGHT NOSE GEAR DOOR. NEGATIVE PILOT DEVIATION.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
