What happened
During a scheduled training mission operating out of Castle AFB, the flight crew initiated a takeoff roll. During this phase of flight, the decision was made to abort the takeoff; however, the specific reasons for this maneuver were not documented.
Following the aborted takeoff, the aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently within the available runway length. As a result, the plane overran the end of the runway and eventually came to a stop. While there were no injuries reported among the crew members, the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
Findings
- The primary factor in the incident was the inability to stop the aircraft within the remaining runway distance following the decision to abort.
