## Narrative

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

(.19) ON OCTOBER 31, 1999, AT 1505 CENTRAL STANDARD TIME, A CESSNA 182Q, N759NT, PILOTED BY A PRIVATE PILOT, SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE WHEN IT COLLIDED WITH TERRAIN FOLLOWING AN ABORTED TAKEOFF FROM RUNWAY 34 (2,613 FEET BY 40 FEET, DRY/ASPHALT) AT THE BENTON AIRPORT, BENTON, KANSAS.  THE PERSONAL 14 CFR PART 91 FLIGHT WAS OPERATING ON AN INSTRUMENT FLIGHT PLAN.  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.  THE PILOT, WHO WAS THE SOLE OCCUPANT, RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES.  THE FLIGHT WAS ORIGINATING AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT AND WAS EN ROUTE TO THE INDIANAPOLIS METROPOLITAN AIRPORT, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA. THE AIRCRAFT RAN OFF OF THE NORTH END OF THE RUNWAY, PROCEEDED ACROSS A ROAD AND CAME TO REST IN A DITCH ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD.  THE PILOT STATED THAT THE TAKEOFF DID NOT "FEEL RIGHT" AND HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO ABORT.                                 (-23) ROUTINE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION AFTER ACCIDENT REVEALED INOPERABLE BRAIN TUMOR.  THE DOCTOR THOUGHT THAT THE BRAIN TUMOR CAUSED PILOT TO DECIDE TO ABORT TAKE OFF AND MAY HAVE CAUSED INAPPROPRIATE ACTION DURING ITS ABORTED TAKE OFF.
