What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) At 0800 on 01/10/2006, the pilot privacy data omitted did a pre-flight and boarded his experimental amateur built (Kis) airplane. After a complete engine run up and systems check the pilot privacy data omitted radioed Camarillo tower for clearance to take off on runway 26, and was cleared. The pilot centered the aircraft up on runway 26, applied full throttle which brought the engine up to full power. The aircraft accelerated smoothly to lift off at 60 mph and continued to accelerate to 90 mph climb speed. At approximately 200 feet above ground level, the subaru engine lost partial power and went into what the pilot privacy data omitted called the "limp home mod" of the subaru engine when it is in a car. This condition did not provide enough power to keep the aircraft airborne.
