## Narrative

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

(.4) THE PILOT INITIATED AN INTERSECTION TAKEOFF ON RUNWAY 35 WITH 600 FEET OF RUNWAY REMAINING TO DEMONSTRATE THE IMPROVED PERFORMANCE OF THE AIRPLANE WITH ITS NEWLY INSTALLED ENGINE AND PROPELLER STC PACKAGE. HE HAD ROUTINELY PERFORMED THIS FEAT. HOWEVER, ON THIS FLIGHT, THE AIRPLANE WAS CONSIDERABLY HEAVIER, SINCE THERE WAS A PASSENGER ABOARD AND THE AIRCRAFT HAD JUST BEEN SERVICED WITH 75 GALLONS OF FUEL. ALSO, THE DENSITY ALTITUDE WAS 3,200 FEET, AND THE WINDS WERE REPORTED AS 'LIGHT FROM THE SOUTH.' THE PILOT STATED THAT ONCE AIRBORNE, THE AIRPLANE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE, BUT FAILED TO CLEAR TREES PAST THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY. THE ENGINE OPERATION WAS REPORTED AS NORMAL, AND NO ANOMALIES WERE REPORTED.

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

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.
