Incident Overview
An aircraft experienced a runway excursion and nosed over after the pilot aborted a takeoff on a 1500-foot dry runway. The incident occurred when the pilot decided to discontinue the takeoff after approximately 1000 feet of runway had been used.
Sequence of Events
Following the decision to abort, the pilot applied the brakes. The aircraft skidded for 350 feet on the asphalt surface, then passed through a large puddle of water before skidding an additional 145 feet on a dirt surface. As the aircraft reached the departure end of the runway, it was moving slowly and began to descend an incline. At that point, the nose gear dug into the ground, causing the aircraft to nose over.
