## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Overrun, landing - roll
  - aborted takeoff - delayed, pilot in command (cause)
  - judgment - poor, pilot in command (cause)
  - distance - misjudged, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water encounter with terrain/water, landing - roll

## Analysis

TAKE OFF WAS ABORTED AFTER AIRCRAFT FAILED TO ACHIEVE SUFFICIENT AIRSPEED TO ALLOW IT TO CLIMB OUT OF GROUND EFFECT. DURING THE SUBSEQUENT LANDING AND ROLLOUT THE AIRCRAFT RAN OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND WAS DESTROYED. THE PLT DID NOT REPORT ANY MALFUNCTIONS OR PWR LOSS. ALTHOUGH THE OFFICIAL WX REPORTED THE WIND AS CALM. ONE WITNESS REPORTED A SUDDEN SHIFT OF WIND TO DOWNWIND FOR THE ACFT DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL.

## 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 19860817083699A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19860817083699A), Aug 17, 1986: Piper PA22150, Fraser, MI, Destroyed. The aircraft overran the runway during takeoff abort. CFI and pilot did not compute performance. Suspect tailwinds.

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.
