Narrative:
The event occurred on the takeoff roll from runway 28C at pit. It was from pit to ckb, I was in an light transport. At XY00 hours local time applied power to takeoff. At approximately 1000 pounds of torque I heard a loud noise and saw the right engine gauges winding down. I called to abort the takeoff at this point. We then secured the right engine and taxied off the runway using our left engine. I looked out my window and saw holes in the exhaust stack. We called ground and taxied back to the ramp. Once we were parked, we deplaned the 10 passengers and ourselves. The cause for the engine failure has not yet been determined. On closer inspection of the engine, by myself, it appears that many turbine blades were thrown from the T2. Nobody was hurt and no emergency was declared.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: AN ACR LTT ABORTED IT'S TKOF WITHOUT INCIDENT OR INJURY DUE A TURBINE FAILURE.
Narrative: THE EVENT OCCURRED ON THE TKOF ROLL FROM RWY 28C AT PIT. IT WAS FROM PIT TO CKB, I WAS IN AN LTT. AT XY00 HRS LCL TIME APPLIED PWR TO TKOF. AT APPROX 1000 POUNDS OF TORQUE I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND SAW THE R ENG GAUGES WINDING DOWN. I CALLED TO ABORT THE TKOF AT THIS POINT. WE THEN SECURED THE R ENG AND TAXIED OFF THE RWY USING OUR L ENG. I LOOKED OUT MY WINDOW AND SAW HOLES IN THE EXHAUST STACK. WE CALLED GND AND TAXIED BACK TO THE RAMP. ONCE WE WERE PARKED, WE DEPLANED THE 10 PAXS AND OURSELVES. THE CAUSE FOR THE ENG FAILURE HAS NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED. ON CLOSER INSPECTION OF THE ENG, BY MYSELF, IT APPEARS THAT MANY TURBINE BLADES WERE THROWN FROM THE T2. NOBODY WAS HURT AND NO EMER WAS DECLARED.
