## Narrative

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

PILOT STATES THAT ON TAKEOFF THEY APPLIED FULL POWER AND ONCE THEY REACHED LIFT OFF SPEED, THEY BEGAN TO ROTATE. AT APPROXIMATELY100’ THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN LOSING POWER. THE PILOT THEN QUICKLY CHECKED THROTTLE/PROP/MIXTURE, AND OIL

PRESSURE. THE PILOT DECIDED THE SAFEST ACTION WAS TO PUT THE AIRCRAFT DOWN ON THE RUNWAY.  THE PILOT FLEW THE AIRPLANE DOWN TO THE RUNWAY, LANDED FIRMLY, AND APPLIED MAXIMUM

BRAKING.  THE PILOT STATES THAT AS SOON AS THE AIRPLANE WAS ON THE GROUND, THE ENGINE WENT TO FULL POWER. THE PILOT IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE POWER TO IDLE, APPLIED HEAVY BRAKING AND CONTROLLED THE AIRCRAFT OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY.

THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE PAVEMENT AND SLOWLY CONTINUED INTO THE DIRT AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY. PILOT STATES, THE SOIL WAS WATER SATURATED FROM RECENT RAINS WHICH WAS BENEFICIAL IN SLOWING THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDED A SHORT DISTANCE THROUGH THE SOFT SOIL UNTIL IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN A DRAINAGE AREA. ONCE THE AIRCRAFT STOPPED, THE PILOT SECURED THE AIRPLANE. THE PILOT AND THE PASSENGER THEN REMOVED THEIR SEAT BELTS AND EXITED NORMALLY THROUGH THE AIRCRAFT DOOR. ACCORDING TO THE PILOT NO ONE WAS INJURED AND THE DAMAGE WAS LIMITED.

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.
