## Narrative

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

THE PILOT WAS ATTEMPTING A TAKEOFF FROM A 1,700 FT. PRIVATE GRASS RUNWAY.  SINCE THE AIRPLANE HAD NOT BECOME AIRBORNE PRIOR TO A PREDETERMINED POINT, THE PILOT ABORTED THE TAKEOFF AND THE AIRCRAFT WENT OFF THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY, THROUGH SOME SCRUB BRUSH AND CAME TO A REST IN A SOY BEAN FIELD.  THE REAR SEAT PASSENGER  SUSTAINED A CUT TO THE HEAD DURING THE DECELERATION.  HER SEAT WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A SHOULDER HARNESS.  THE AIRPLANE HAD SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING.

THE INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS LOADED TO NEAR MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE TAKEOFF WEIGHT AND THE OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 84 DEGREES.  ALSO, THE PILOT UTILIZED A WING FLAP SETTING OF 10 DEGREES INSTEAD OF THE RECOMMENDED 20 DEGREE SETTING FOR A SHORT/SOFT FIELD TAKEOFF AS STATED IN THE CESSNA 182 OWNER'S MANUAL.  IN ADDITION, THE PROPELLER CONTROL WAS FOUND TO BE APPROXIMATELY 1/2 INCH AFT OF THE FULL FORWARD (HIGH RPM) SETTING.
