Overran wet runway after aborting takeoff at a speed past V1. Aircraft overloaded.
CONCLUSION
The accident can be attributed to the fact that the pilot felt compelled to abort the take-off on a wet runway with an improperly loaded aircraft when he felt an unusual, sudden increase in hand force while rotating at high speed, which was probably due to a functional impairment of control organs caused by a foreign object.
Handling errors by the pilot and a lack of co-operation with the co-pilot played a role in the decision to abort the take-off, the braking procedure and the overshooting of the runway at high speed.
