## Narrative

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

ON OCTOBER 30, 2016 ABOUT 1230 EASTERN STANDARD TIME, A BEECH 100 KING AIR, TAIL NUMBER N411HA WITH TWO CREW MEMBERS AND EIGHT PASSENGERS ONBOARD, DEPARTED CLARK REGIONAL AIRPORT (KJVY), SELLERSBURG, IN TO BURNSWICK, GEORGIA (KSSI). ON TAKEOFF ROLL, THE AIRCRAFT FAILED TO GET AIRBORNE. THE PILOT ABORTED THE TAKEOFF AND THE AIRCRAFT RAN OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY, COMING TO REST APPROXIMATELY 680 FROM THE END OF RUNWAY 18. THE LEFT WING STRUCK THE LOCALIZER ANTENNA SOUTH OF THE RUNWAY, RESULTING IN EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING. THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR AND NOSE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED. THERE WAS ALSO DAMAGE TO BOTH ENGINES. THE AIRPLANE WAS REGISTERED TO RC AIR LLC AND OPERATED UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF TITLE 14 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS (CFR) PART 91. A FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED. THE WEATHER AT THE TIME WAS VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITION (VMC). NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE RECORDS INDICATE THE AIRCRAFT WAS IN  AN AIRWORTHY CONDITION AND SAFE FOR FLIGHT. ON NOVEMBER 01, 2016 WE INTERVIEWED THE PILOT. HE ADMITED KNOWING THE AIRCRAFT WAS OVERWEIGHT BEFORE TAKE OFF.
