## Narrative

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

(-23) ACCORDING TO THE PILOT'S WRITTEN STATEMENT, HE ATTEMPTED A SOFT FIELD TAKEOFF FROM WIND SWEPT AIRPORT, WINDSOR, NH (23NH). THE WIND WAS CALM. AT APPROXIMATELY 55 KNOTS, THE TAKEOFF WAS ABORTED. THE RUNWAY SLOPES DOWNHILL AT THE AREA WHERE THIS OCCURRED, SO BRAKING WAS INADEQUATE TO STOP THE AIRPLANE. HE ENTERED THE WOODED AREA OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 30 KNOTS BY HIS ESTIMATION.
