## Narrative

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

ON DECEMBER 8, 2025, A BOEING 737 JET CONDUCTED AN ABORTED TAKEOFF MANEUVER ON RUNWAY 8R AT THE HONOLULU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN HAWAII.  THE PILOT STATED THAT DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL, A LOUD POP WAS HEARD AND THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE LEFT OF THE CENTERLINE.  HE REDUCED THE POWER TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT, AND ENGINE INSTRUMENTS INDICATED THE #1 LEFT ENGINE HAD FAILED. THE CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND RETURNED TO THE PARKING AREA.  THE FAA ASI WAS DISPATCHED TO THE CH HANGAR TO INVESTIGATE THE EVENT.  PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS AND INTERVIEWS CONFIRM THAT THE ENGINE FAILURE OCCURRED DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL.

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.
