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 detected a loss of eng torque at about rotation airspeed about 1700 ft down the rwy & the takeoff was aborted. The acft slid into a ditch off the end of the rwy collapsing the main gear. A functional check of the right eng fuel pump, P/N4V146R002, ser.#JX241439D, manufactured by sperry vickers showed that at high pump speed fuel flow was intermittent. Disassembly of the pump revealed that the rotor drive serrations on the main rotor drive shaft, P/N330205,were worn to the point that the rotor would slip on the shaft at high pump speeds.
