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

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.
