From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) During the attempted takeoff, the a/c did not respond to flight control inputs to rotate attitude. At this point the a/c was significantly past the takeoff decision speed (VI) and point. The pilot elected to abort the takeoff and reduced thrust, deployed the spoilers, and applied manimum braking. The a/c's inertia took it off the end of the runway 28. It penetrated a snow bank and then fell approx. 5 feet to a level field at which time both wings and the nose landing gear failed. The a/c came to rest just short of a highway after destroying a portion of the airport perimeter fence. The crew completed an emergency shutdown and evacuated the a/c through the main cabin door. All the a/c aerodynamic surfaces were free of any contamination. The a/c trim gauge and stabilizer both indicated a takeoff setting and the flaps were selected to and set at 8 degrees. The a/c was loaded within center of gravity and weight limits. All the a/c flight control, engine, and warning systems were found to be operational.

As the FAA filed it

(-23) DURING THE ATTEMPTED TAKEOFF, THE A/C DID NOT RESPOND TO FLIGHT CONTROL INPUTS TO ROTATE ATTITUDE. AT THIS POINT THE A/C WAS SIGNIFICANTLY PAST THE TAKEOFF DECISION SPEED (VI) AND POINT. THE PILOT ELECTED TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF AND REDUCED THRUST, DEPLOYED THE SPOILERS, AND APPLIED MANIMUM BRAKING. THE A/C'S INERTIA TOOK IT OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY 28. IT PENETRATED A SNOW BANK AND THEN FELL APPROX. 5 FEET TO A LEVEL FIELD AT WHICH TIME BOTH WINGS AND THE NOSE LANDING GEAR FAILED. THE A/C CAME TO REST JUST SHORT OF A HIGHWAY AFTER DESTROYING A PORTION OF THE AIRPORT PERIMETER FENCE. THE CREW COMPLETED AN EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN AND EVACUATED THE A/C THROUGH THE MAIN CABIN DOOR. ALL THE A/C AERODYNAMIC SURFACES WERE FREE OF ANY CONTAMINATION. THE A/C TRIM GAUGE AND STABILIZER BOTH INDICATED A TAKEOFF SETTING AND THE FLAPS WERE SELECTED TO AND SET AT 8 DEGREES. THE A/C WAS LOADED WITHIN CENTER OF GRAVITY AND WEIGHT LIMITS. ALL THE A/C FLIGHT CONTROL, ENGINE, AND WARNING SYSTEMS WERE FOUND TO BE OPERATIONAL.
