(-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.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
