## Narrative

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

(-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 OM^ 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 DA^CALLOUTS 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.

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.
