## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) ACCORDING TO THE PILOT'S STATEMENT, AS HE BEGAN TAKE-OFF ROLL EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND ATTEMPTED TO BEGIN ROTATION AT ABOUT 55-60 KNOTS. HE PULLED BACK ON THE YOKE BUT DID NOT GET A RESPONSE. HE CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO ROTATE WHILE THE AIRPLANE ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 70 KNOTS. AT THIS POINT, HE BECAME CONCERNED AS HE WAS RUNNING OUT OF RUNWAY, AND HE MADE THE DECISION TO ABORT. HE CUT THE POWER TO IDLE, PUSHED YOKE FORWARD AND BEGAN APPLYING THE BRAKES. AT FIRST IT SEEMED THE BRAKES HAD NO EFFECT. BY THE TIME THEY DID HE ESTIMATED ONLY ABOUT 75 FEET OF RUNWAY REMAINING. AS HE PASSED THE END OF THE RUNWAY HE MADE THE DECISION TO TURN THE AIRPLANE TO THE RIGHT AS IT APPEARED TO GIVE THE MOST LIKELY CHANCE TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERED A PROPELLER STRIKE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
