## Analysis

ACCORDING TO THE PLT, HE WAS AT VMC WHEN HE SAW THE RIGHT ENG FUEL FLOW NEEDLE SPLIT AWAY FROM THE LEFT FUEL FLOW NEEDLE & THE ACFT STARTED TO SWERVE RIGHT. THE TAKEOFF WAS ABORTED & THE ACFT RAN OFF THE END OF THE RWY. THE RWY WAS HEAVILY RUTTED & ACFT HAD TO USE THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY FOR ABOUT 3/4 OF ITS LENGTH. THE ENG CONTROL FRICTION WAS SET SUCH THAT THE THROTTLES MOVED WITH LITTLE EFFORT. THE PLT STATED HE USES LITTLE FRICTION ON THE ENG CONTROLS.
