## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT ON TAKEOFF ROLL AT 80 KNOTS WHEN THE #3 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO 36 PSI. THE PILOT ABORTED THE TAKEOFF. CONTRACT MAINTENANCE SWAPPED THE #1 AND #3 OIL PRESSURES GAUGES, CLEANED THE CANNON PLUGS AND RETURNED THE AIRCRAFT TO SERVICE. THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED WITHOUT INCIDENT.

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.
