Incident Overview
A student pilot was conducting a takeoff from a 3,700-foot-long paved runway. During the takeoff roll, approximately halfway down the runway, she perceived that the airplane would not become airborne as the airspeed exceeded 70 knots. She responded by closing the throttle and applying heavy braking.
Sequence of Events
Following the application of heavy braking, the airplane veered slightly to the right. It continued off the end of the runway and subsequently nosed over. The accident resulted in substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and engine firewall.
Post-Accident Examination
An FAA airworthiness inspector traveled to the accident airport and examined the airplane. The inspector reported that he was unable to detect any preaccident mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
