What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot was in the area for weekend reserve duty at nearby selfridge angb. The pilot elected to take two friends for a local sightseeing flight from 57D. The pilot had no actual short field experience; the runway is only 2500 feet long.
The pilot was operating near max gross weight on a hot day. He began his takeoff roll on runway 28 and accelerated up to 59 KTS. The pilot began applying back pressure and the aircraft felt to him like it wasn't going to fly. Seeing the end of the runway quickly approaching and obstacles beyond, the pilot elected to abort the takeoff, going off the end and resulting in flat tires, and a damaged ventral tail fin before getting stopped. The pilot did not report any abnormal indications during the run up or takeoff.
