## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: DURING A MULTIENGINE CHECK RIDE, THE APPLICANT ANTICIPATED A REJECTED TAKEOFF AND THOUGHT THE WING WAS LIFTING SO HE ABORTED THE TAKEOFF. HE WAS TOO HEAVY ON THE BRAKES AND BLEW A TIRE. THE DPE, MR. G.C. JOHNSON, THEN TOLD HIM TO TAXI OFF THE RUNWAY AT THE UNCONTROLLED AIRPORT BECAUSE THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF TRAFFIC IN THE PATTERN. ON TAXI INTO THE DIRT THEY HIT A RUNWAY LIGHT WITH A PROPELLER WITH DAMAGE TO TWO OF THE BLADES.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
