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
During takeoff the aircraft lost power at rotation, settled onto the runway, overran the end and flipped over. The pilot had borrowed fuel for this flight and when some was put in a pickup truck the truck would not idle and had no power. An attempt to get the fuel analyzed by the pilot was unsuccessful.
