## Narrative

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

(-23)THE AIRCRAFT WAS STARTED, RUN-UP PERFORMED, AND PREPARED FOR DEPARTURE ON RUNWAY 22. DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL, THE PILOT NOTICED THAT THE LEFT ENGINE HAD OVERBOOSTED AB 5 IN HG.  HE ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE CONTROL, THEN DECIDED TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF.  THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED OFF THE DEPARTURE END OF 22, THROUGH THE GRASS AND CAME TO REST ON THE BREAK WALL SEPARATING THE ISLAND FROM LAKE ERIE.

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.
