Analysis
The plt was taking off on rwy 13 at Aberdeen, SD, muni arpt. He said when he reached 55 mph he rotated the acft and the stall warning horn sounded. He said he allowed the nosewheel to settle back on the rwy. The acft then veered right and left, then departed the right side of the rwy and overturned. Shredded remains of the nosewheel tire were found on the rwy. Impressions were found of the asphalt surface of the rwy consistent with tire rim contact. The acft operator said the nosewheel was installed on February 1, 1983, at a tachometer reading of 1963:47 hrs, a difference of 699 hrs. The casing was in fair condition. According to an A&P mechanic, a patch found on the inside of the casing was a balance. There was no evidence that the balance caused the tire to fail.
