Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PILOT ABORTED A TAKEOFF AFTER HE FELT THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT PERFORMING PROPERLY. THE PILOT HAD FOUR PASSENGERS ON BOARD WHICH PUT THE AIRCRAFT NEAR ITS GROSS WEIGHT. THE RUNWAY WAS 4300 FEET LONG AND THE PILOT NEEDED ABOUT 1100 FEET OF RUNWAY FOR THE AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATION AND PREVAILING WINDS. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT ALL AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS WERE OPERATING PROPERLY PRIOR TO THE ATTEMPTED TAKEOFF. THE PLT REPORTED THAT THE ACFT DEVELOPED ABOUT 30 INCHES OF MANIFOLD PRESSURE DURING THE ROLL BUT DID NOT FEEL RIGHT. THE TOWER REPORTED THAT THE ACFT ROTATED AND THEN BOUNCED BACK ON THE RWY. THE ACFT CONTINUED PAST THE OVERRUN AND DAMAGED THE LANDING GEAR.
