What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During take off rotation on runway 15, the pilot noticed that the aircraft seat moved forward restricting the flight control stick from being moved rearward to rotate the aircraft. The instructor pilot took over the controls, pulled the power back to abort the takeoff, both pilots applied full brakes, but the aircraft could not be stopped on time and ran over the end of the runway into a field about 50 feet to the end and right of the 3,421 feet long runway. The aircraft sustained major damage; there were no injuries.
