## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT WAS CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF ON RWY 15. THE AIRMAN REPORTED THAT WITH THE SPEED INCREASING AT TAKEOFF POWER THE AIRCRAFT BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL VIA STEERING WITH RUDDER INPUTS. THE AIRMAN ABORTED THE TAKEOFF BETWEEN 70-80 KNOTS BY BRINGING BOTH POWER LEVERS TO IDLE. THE AIRMAN APPLIED THE BRAKES AND WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR EXITED THE RUNWAY AT MIDFIELD AND CAME TO REST IN THE GRASS. AFTER THE INCIDENT IT WAS DISCOVERED THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR TIRE WAS BLOWN.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
