## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of engine power(total) - nonmechanical, takeoff - roll/run
  - fluid,fuel - improper (cause)
- Overrun, takeoff - roll/run
  - aborted takeoff - performed, pilot in command (contributing factor)

## 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.
