He Stopped The Airplane, And Noticed Smoke Coming From The Underside

On February 5, 2021, about 1200 central standard time, a Columbia LC42-550FG airplane, N115FP, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at the Pawnee County Airport (LQR), Larned, Kansas. The private pilot and one pilot-rated passenger were not injured. The flight was being conducted under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The pilot (who was the owner of the airplane), reported that the purpose of the flight was to transport the pilot-rated passenger to pick up an airplane at a nearby airport. The pilot commenced a takeoff on runway 35 at LQR, and the airplane did not get airborne, so he stopped the airplane.
