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 plt said that when he applied power for takeoff he overcorrected and the acft veered right. He attempted to abort but saw a ditch and reapplied power. The acft hit the ditch and collapsed the landing gear. The plt thought maybe the brakes locked but an FAA inspector examined the acft & found no evidence of a brake malfunction
