Sunday, June 1, 2003 19:00 CDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The airplane sustained substantial damage when it impacted a fence and a ditch after overrunning the runway on takeoff. The pilot reported he taxied the airplane onto the runway centerline and applied full power to the airplane's engine while holding the brakes. The pilot noted he released the brakes and the airplane began to roll. The pilot stated the airplane would not lift-off before 1/2 to 3/4 of the runway was used. The pilot reported he decided to execute an aborted takeoff and reduced engine power to idle and applied brakes. The pilot noted the airplane overran the end of the runway where it impacted a barbwire fence and a ditch. The pilot reported the airplane's loaded weight and center of gravity were within the performance limitations of the airplane at the time of the accident flight. The airplanes weight and balance was calculated using information obtained from data given by the pilot and the airplane was found to be within performance limitations.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilots delayed attempt to perform an aborted takeoff and subsequent overrun. Contributing factors to the accident were the fence and the ditch.
