## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT DEPARTED CQF.  DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL THE PILOT FELT A "JOLT" AS THE AIRCRAFT SUDDENLY JERKED TO THE LEFT.  PILOT REGAINED CONTROL AND TOOK OFF TO ITS DESTINATION OF MOBILE. (MOB)  THE PILOT THOUGHT THAT HE MAY HAVE BLOWN A TIRE ON TAKEOFF FROM CQF SO REQUESTED A FLY-BY THE TOWER AT MOB TO CHECK.  TOWER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE ANY DAMAGE TO THE TIRE, SO PILOT LANDED SAFELY.  POST INSPECTION REVEALED DAMAGE TO THE TIP OF THE PROPELLER.  INSPECTION OF THE RUNWAY AT CQF FOUND A HOLE AND  CHUNKS OF ASPHALT ON THE RUNWAY.  IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE ASPHALT DURING TAKEOFF CAUSING THE SUDDEN JERK TO THE LEFT THAT THE PILOT EXPIERENCED DURING TAKEOFF.

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.
