Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot had accomplished two takeoffs and two full stop landings. The pilot stated that on the third takeoff RPM was lost about the time for liftoff. He elected to abort the takeoff about halfway down the runway. When he pulled the power/throttle back to idle and pulled the carburetor heat out, plane still would not idle. The brakes were grabbing on the right side and he could not stop the acft by the time he got to the end of the runway. The aircraft went off the right side of the runway and came to rest at the base of an embankment about 250 feet beyond the departure threshold of runway 19.
