Narrative:
As we applied takeoff power, I noticed that our acceleration rate was abnormal (slow). I called for an abort. We cleared the runway. The parking brake was found to be partially engaged. Informed the tower that the reason for the abort was 'abnormal indications in the cockpit.' referring to the abnormal acceleration rate, we entered the abort in the aircraft log, per company procedure. No FARS were violated. We were subsequently informed by our chief pilot that the local FSDO may be investigating the incident, due to the lack of a maintenance discrepancy, when in fact, no such discrepancy existed at the time of the abort.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: ABORTED TKOF.
Narrative: AS WE APPLIED TKOF PWR, I NOTICED THAT OUR ACCELERATION RATE WAS ABNORMAL (SLOW). I CALLED FOR AN ABORT. WE CLRED THE RWY. THE PARKING BRAKE WAS FOUND TO BE PARTIALLY ENGAGED. INFORMED THE TWR THAT THE REASON FOR THE ABORT WAS 'ABNORMAL INDICATIONS IN THE COCKPIT.' REFERRING TO THE ABNORMAL ACCELERATION RATE, WE ENTERED THE ABORT IN THE ACFT LOG, PER COMPANY PROC. NO FARS WERE VIOLATED. WE WERE SUBSEQUENTLY INFORMED BY OUR CHIEF PLT THAT THE LCL FSDO MAY BE INVESTIGATING THE INCIDENT, DUE TO THE LACK OF A MAINT DISCREPANCY, WHEN IN FACT, NO SUCH DISCREPANCY EXISTED AT THE TIME OF THE ABORT.
