## Narrative

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

DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL, THE PILOT DETERMINED THE AIRCRAFT HAD NOT REACHED A SAFE LIFTOFF SPEED BY THE PILOT'S PREDETERMINED GO/NO-GO SPOT.  AT THAT POINT THE PILOT ELECTED TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF.  DUE TO A WET RUNWAY SURFACE (GRASS), THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT ON THE REMAINING RUNWAY AND THE AIRCRAFT EXITED THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND COLLIDED WITH A SIGNPOST AND A LARGE BOULDER, CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
