What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The pilot in command stated that he experienced a slight, but perceptible loss of power on or about the rotation point on takeoff. Thinking that he was experiencing induction ice, and believing that the situation would immimently improve, the nose of the aircraft was lowered, but the takeoff roll was continued. The pilot also stated that once the nose of the aircraft was lowered, the engine regained power, so the nose was raised for rotation a second time. Again, the pilot stated that he perceived a slight loss of power, and at that point, he elected to abort the takeoff. The aircraft subsequently overshot the end of the runway, went across a road, through a fence, struck a parked trailer, and was destroyed by fire.

THE PILOT ALSO STATED THAT ONCE THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT WAS LOWERED, THE ENGINE REGAINED POWER, SO THE NOSE WAS RAISED FOR ROTATION A SECOND TIME. AGAIN, THE PILOT STATED THAT HE PERCEIVED A SLIGHT LOSS OF POWER, AND AT THAT POINT, HE ELECTED TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF.
