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) Pilot stated that during the takeoff roll the aircraft did not seem to be accelerating. The pilot initiated an abort with about 1200 feet of runway remaining. There is an additional 400 foot overrun separated by a road. Pilot decided not to use excessive braking because had just begun to rain and he was afraid of losing directional control because of slick spots that might be on the wet runway. After crossing the road at the departure end of the runway the nose gear collapsed.
