What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-16) The pilot stated that after a local airshow he and his son departed rjft for RJO1. He aborted the take off because it didn't feel correct. He taxied back and rechecked the engine and then reconfigured the aircraft for a short field take off. As soon as he was airborne the local police allowed pedestrians to cross the departure end of the grass runway. The pilot didn't like the way the aircraft was performing and he would have aborted except for the end of the runway. The japanese are not involved in the accident investigation since the flying club aircraft are, although n registered, considered military aircraft under the status of forces agreement. (Sofa) with U.S.
