## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT COMPLETED TWO "TOUCH AND GO" LANDINGS AND TAKEOFFS WITH A FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR. PILOT ATTEMPTED THIRD TAKEOFF WITHOUT FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR ON RUNWAY 35 WITH A 6KT NW WIND. WHILE ON TAKEOFF ROLL NEAR ROTATION SPEED (VR) PILOT NOTICED HE WAS LEFT OF THE RUNWAY CENTERLINE. HE HAD LITTLE RUDDER INPUT AND ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE AILERON; THEN STATED "THE AIRCRAFT GOT AWAY FROM HIM". HE ELECTED TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF. AFTER SKIDDING APPROX. 200', THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A FULL STOP OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT THEN TAXIED THE AIRCRAFT TO PARKING AND TERMINATED FLIGHT OPERATIONS.

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.
