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) The a/c was departing San Luis Obispo, CA (sbp) airport for long beach, CA on runway 29 which is 4,799 feet in length. The distant required for takeoff was 3,900 feet. The a/c takeoff weight was less than the weight required for the runway. Approx. five knots prior to VI, a very loud bang and air noise was heard followed by the second pilot privacy data omitted calling out "abort! Abort! Abort! The pilot immediately scanned the instruments which revealed that a red light was illuminated on the emergency panel. The air noise, quite extreme, persisted, as did privacy data omittedcallouts to abort. Due to the short runway, there was a minimal time in which to react. Therefore, the pilot made a decision to abort. He simultaneously applied maximum braking,went into full reversing and called for the extension of the lift dumpers. The anti-skid system was functioning and the nose wheel steering kept the a/c on the center of the runway. It appeared for a moment that the a/c would come to a complete stop short of the end of the runway. At that moment the pilot felt the anti-skid release and the plane surged forward and went approx. 35 feet past end of runway.
