Friday, June 2, 2006 11:15 CDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The aerial application airplane overran the runway into a field during takeoff. According to the Federal Aviation Administration inspector, the pilot stated that he never reduced the throttle in an attempt to abort the takeoff from runway 11 (2,000 feet by 75, grass), which was dry and mowed at the time of the accident. The pilot stated that he thought the engine was not developing full power because it used up the entire runway length in the takeoff attempt. The airplane was powered by a Pratt & Whitney, R-1340-AN1, serial number 31239 engine. No subsequent engine anomalies were reported.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The aborted takeoff not performed by the pilot. A contributing factor is the reported loss of takeoff performance.
