What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On June 16, 2022, about 1445 MDT, a Piper PA34, privacy data omitted, privacy data omitted, was damaged when it was involved in an operational incident at the Albuquerque sunport international airport, kabq, when it hit construction barricades on an attempted takeoff roll on a closed runway, rwy 12. The airplane was operated as a title 14 code of federal regulations part 91 personal flight. A VFR flight plan was not filed. The flight originated at the kabq airport. VFR conditions prevailed at the time. The private pilot was not injured; there were no passengers. The aircraft received minor damage.
The pilot received an FAA ATC clearance to taxi from the cutter FBO ramp to runway 21 via taxiway g for an intersection takeoff at rwy 21/G. Upon calling the FAA ATC tower ready to depart rwy 21/G, the pilot was instructed to line up and wait, which the pilot acknowledged. Instead of lining up and waiting on rwy 21, the pilot lined up and waited on rwy 12, the closed intersecting runway. When the aircraft was cleared to takeoff RWY21 by the tower controller, the pilot began his takeoff roll on rwy 12 instead. When the ATC controller noticed this clearance deviation, he instructed the pilot to stop immediately; however, the aircraft unfortunately collied with some of the barricades on the runway, which was closed per FAA NOTAM for a major construction project, in its attempt to stop on the remaining runway. This collision resulted in minor damage to the right main landing gear and a cabin step on the fuselage of the aircraft. The pilot was cleared to taxi back to the cutter FBO ramp, and the pilot walked away from the aircraft uninjured. During the incident investigation, the pilot was found to have no current FAA medical certificate and no current FAA flight review.
