LEARJET 60 ON TKOF WITH SNOW CLRED RWY AND 20 KT XWIND ABORTED DUE TO LACK OF ACCELERATION AND ACFT DRIFTING OFF CTRLINE.

Narrative

DURING TKOF ON RWY 35 I PERFORMED A HIGH SPD ABORT DUE TO A COMBINATION OF A SUDDEN RAPID DECELERATION AT VR AND INABILITY TO MAINTAIN THE CTR OF THE RWY WHEN ROTATION WAS INITIATED. I ELECTED TO ABORT BECAUSE I FELT THIS WAS THE SAFEST OPTION DUE TO THE REMAINING RWY LENGTH AND WIDTH AVAILABLE (8500 FT BY 150 FT). THE ABORT WAS SUCCESSFUL; AS CTL OF THE ACFT WAS MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT. UPON COMPLETION OF THE ABORT WE TAXIED OFF THE RWY AND BACK TO THE FBO. AT THE PARTICULAR TIME THIS EVENT OCCURRED; RWY 35 WAS THE ONLY ONE OPEN AND IN OP. THE MAIN RWY; 8R; WAS CLOSED FOR SNOW REMOVAL. THERE WERE 2 REASONS I CHOSE TO USE RWY 35. ONE; WAS BECAUSE ACFT WERE DEPARTING OFF OF IT SUCCESSFULLY. A DC9 HAD DEPARTED JUST A FEW MINS PRIOR TO US WITH NO PROBS. TWO; WAS BECAUSE WE HAD BACK TAXIED DOWN A PORTION OF IT AND FELT IT WAS OK TO USE BECAUSE I HAD TAKEN OFF ON RWYS OF THE SAME CONDITIONS BEFORE WITH NO PROB. DURING THE TKOF ROLL WE WERE EXPERIENCING SLIGHT DECELERATIONS; WHICH I FULLY EXPECTED GIVEN THE CONDITIONS; HOWEVER AT VR A SUDDEN RAPID DECELERATION WAS FELT; WHICH SEEMED VERY ABNORMAL. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTINUE AND TRY TO REGAIN ROTATION SPD BUT THE ACFT STARTED TO DRIFT OFF THE CTR OF THE RWY WHILE STILL BELOW ROTATION SPD. I TRIED TO MAINTAIN THE CTR OF THE RWY WITH THE PROPER CTL INPUTS BUT THIS DID NOT SEEM TO HELP. AT THAT POINT I THEN PERFORMED THE ABORT. I FEEL THE REASON FOR THE DECELERATION AND SUBSEQUENT DRIFT FROM CTRLINE WAS DUE TO A COMBINATION OF THE WIND AND A POSSIBLE LARGE SNOW DRIFT ON THE RWY. AS FOR THE WIND COMPONENT AT THE TIME; IT WAS WELL WITHIN THE DEMONSTRATED XWIND COMPONENT OF THE LEARJET 60. IN RETROSPECT; I FEEL I SHOULD HAVE ELECTED TO USE RWY 35 AND SHOULD HAVE WAITED FOR RWY 8R TO OPEN. I FEEL THERE WAS A BIT OF COMPLACENCY INVOLVED DUE TO MY PAST EXPERIENCES AND SUCCESSFUL TKOFS IN THESE CONDITIONS AND ALSO THE FACT THAT THE JET ACFT WERE SUCCESSFULLY DEPARTING FROM RWY 35.
