## Narrative

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

LOW ENGINE RPM ON TAKEOFF. ABORTED. ROLLED OFF END RUNWAY. HIT DITCH AND STREET CURB. PILOT FAILED USE BRAKES. (-23) WITNESSES AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES REPORTED TO THE FAA INSPECTOR THAT DURING THE TAKEOFF THE PILOT ATTEMPTED AN ABORT DUE TO LOW ENGINE RPM; HOWEVER, THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE AIRPLANE CONTINUED TO ROLL. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE AIRPLANE CROSSED A DITCH AND CAME TO REST ON A PAVED STREET. THE FAA INSPECTOR EXAMINED THE AIRPLANE AND REPORTED DAMAGE TO THE LOWER ENGINE FIREWALL. UPON TESTING THE BRAKES, THE FAA INSPECTOR, DID NOT FIND ANY DISCREPANCIES THAT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED STOPPING THE AIRPLANE. THE PILOT FAILED TO ACTUATE BRAKES.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
