## Narrative

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

(-23) A PILOT, TAKING OFF OUT OF VOYAGER VILLAGE'S PRIVATE AIRPORT, ABORTED HIS TAKE OFF THINKING THAT HIS AIRCRAFT WASN'T CLIMBING AT A NORMAL RATE. IN AN ATTEMPT TO LAND THE AIRPLANE ON THE REMAINING RUNWAY, THE AIRPLANE HIT THE GROUND WITH ENOUGH IMPACT TO BEND THE SHEET METAL AROUND THE FIRE WALL. THE AIRCRAFT'S PROPELLER, THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TAIL AND THE LEFT WING TIP WERE ALSO DAMAGED. THE PILOT AND PASSENGERS WALKED AWAY WITHOUT INJURY.
