## Analysis

THE HOME BUILT ACFT HAD JUST BEEN CONSTRUCTED & THE PLT WAS MAKING HI SPEED TAXI CHECKS. ON THE 3RD CHECK, HE APPLIED FULL POWER, INTENDING TO ACCELERATE TO A TARGET SPEED OF 60 MPH. HE REDUCED THE POWER BEFORE REACHING THAT SPEED; HOWEVER, THE ACFT INADVERTENTLY 'BOLTED' INTO THE AIR TO AN ALT OF ABOUT 40 FT. THE PLT REDUCED POWER FURTHER & THE ACFT CONTACTED THE GROUND & BEGAN PORPOISING. IT THEN WENT TO THE LEFT & COLLIDED WITH A TRACTOR.

## FAA reports on this event (1)

The FAA's own accident and incident reports, matched to the aircraft by N-number and date (OpenAirDocs).

- [Accident 19840711034829A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19840711034829A), Jul 11, 1984: Amtrqk QUICKIE2, Kennesaw, GA, Substantial damage. Aircraft inadvertently became airborne during high speed taxi test. Pilot lost directional control went off runway.

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
