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 PIC was observing from the right seat while the C0-PLT was in the left seat taking off. During the takeoff roll, the co-plt lost directional control of the acft & the PIC was unable to recover. The acft veered off the left side of the rwy, the right main gear collapsed & the right eng caught on fire. An investigation revealed the acft was loaded 1203 lbs over the max gross wt limit & center of gravity was 2.4 inches beyond the aft limit.
