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 inadvertantly taxied the acft to the wrong rwy for takeoff. The plt did say he saw acft departing from another rwy. Takeoff was attempted with a 19 kt x-wind. The acft ran off the side of the rwy before becoming airborne. The arpt manager has since agreed to position a sign directing traffic to the various rwys near a decision intersection on the arpt.
