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
After electing to abort takeoff the pilot realized he had insufficient room to stop on the remaining runway. He reapplied power to attempt to fly over a road but reported that the engine lost power. The aircraft bounced over a road into a plowed field and came to rest inverted. The aircraft had a crosswind during takeoff and was near the maximum gross weight.
