What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) During a takeoff attempt at Benson Airport, on a 2000 ft grass strip, the pilot set the brakes, advanced the throttle and noted that the manifold pressure and tachometer were in the green. He used full runway length for his takeoff. With the flaps set at 10 degrees the airplane reached 40KTS fairly quick then lagged between 40 & 45 knots. At 1300 feet down the runway and still not flying, the takeoff was aborted. The aircraft slid 698 feet and ran off end of the runway. A cable stretched across the end of runway caused nose gear to break off and aircraft to flip unside down. No injuries occurred. During investigation of aircraft on scene by the FAA, the rt brake disk was found to be separated from the brake hub. Tire tracks indicated right brake failed at 536 feet from end of runway. (.19) on June 10, 2001, at 1810 central daylight time, a Cessna R182, N7579T, piloted by a private pilot, sustained substantial damage on impact with terrain during an aborted takeoff at the Benson Airport, near White Bear Lake, Minnesota. The pilot reported that at over 1/2 down the runway (approximately 2,000 feet, grass) the airplane would not rotate. Visual meteorologi cal conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The 14 CFR part 91 personal flight was not operating on a flight plan. The pilot and three passengers reported no injuries. The flight was en route to the brainerd municipal airport, brainerd, Minnesota.
