## Narrative

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

AIR CARRIER OR TAXI OCCURRENCE REPORT:

"POE 948, DH8, CANCELLED TAKEOFF CLEARANCE DUE TO A NAVIGATIONAL ISSUE."

PILOT RESPONSE: "AIRCRAFT WAS CLEARED TO LINEUP ON RUNWAY 22R.  AS PER THE CHECKLIST, THE TAKEOFF WARNING SWITCH WAS PRESSED AND HORN SOUNDED.  INITIAL SCAN OF INSTRUMENT PANEL DID NOT REVEAL THE CAUSE.  TOWER THEN CLEARED THE AIRCRAFT FOR TAKEOFF. BRAKES HAD NOT YET BEEN RELEASED AND POWER HAD NOT BEEN APPLIED AND TOWER WAS ADVISED OF THE NEED FOR A SHORT DELAY TO CHECK A SYSTEM, SUGGESTED WE COULD EXIT THE RUNWAY. THE CONTROLLER CANCELLED THE TAKEOFF CLEARANCE AND SAID WE COULD STAY WHERE WE WERE AND TO ADVISE HOW MUCH TIME WAS NEEDED.  WE IMMEDIATELY DETERMINED THAT THE ELEVATOR TRIM WAS SLIGHTLY OUTSIDE THE TAKEOFF RANGE, CORRECTED IT AND REQUESTED TAKEOFF CLEARANCE.  AIRCRAFT WAS THEN CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF WHICH OCCURRED IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER.  ENTIRE DELAY WAS PROBABLY MEASURED IN SECONDS AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ANY OTHER AIRCRAFT WERE AFFECTED. INCIDENT SHOULD PROBABLY BE TERMED A DELAYED TAKEOFF SINCE THERE WAS NO ACTUAL ABORT."

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.
