Narrative:

On takeoff roll, I noticed the airplane accelerate rather quickly, looking down on the instrument panel I noticed that we had not yet been fueled. I elected to abort the takeoff and return to the FBO. We had an hour of gas left, not enough for a 48 min flight. The real reason for this is because I was distraction during my preflight inspection. I prefer to do a preflight by myself without any interruptions. However on this day I was flying with a new-hire copilot and got a little distraction showing him little things like where to find the coffee and ice.

Title: C500 CREW BEGAN TKOF WITHOUT INSURING THE ACFT HAD BEEN FUELED.

Narrative: ON TKOF ROLL, I NOTICED THE AIRPLANE ACCELERATE RATHER QUICKLY, LOOKING DOWN ON THE INST PANEL I NOTICED THAT WE HAD NOT YET BEEN FUELED. I ELECTED TO ABORT THE TKOF AND RETURN TO THE FBO. WE HAD AN HR OF GAS LEFT, NOT ENOUGH FOR A 48 MIN FLT. THE REAL REASON FOR THIS IS BECAUSE I WAS DISTR DURING MY PREFLT INSPECTION. I PREFER TO DO A PREFLT BY MYSELF WITHOUT ANY INTERRUPTIONS. HOWEVER ON THIS DAY I WAS FLYING WITH A NEW-HIRE COPLT AND GOT A LITTLE DISTR SHOWING HIM LITTLE THINGS LIKE WHERE TO FIND THE COFFEE AND ICE.
