Factual narrative
THE PLT ATTEMPTED TO TAKEOFF FM A 2400-FT-LONG RWY, HE REPORTED THAT BECAUSE THE ACFT'S AIRSPEED INDICATOR DID NOT APPEAR TO PROPERLY REPRESENT THE AIRSPEED, HE ABORTED THE TAKEOFF. THIS OCCURRED AFTER ACCELERATING DOWN THE RWY FOR AN ESTIMATED 1800 FT. THE PLT STATED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO DECELERATE IN THE REMAINING 600 FT OF RWY. THE ACFT OVERRAN THE END OF THE RWY & IT WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED UPON COLLIDING WITH THE ARPT'S OVERRUN BARRIER. THE PLT DID NOT REPORT EXPERIENCING ANY DIFFICULTIES WITH THE ACFT ENGINE'S ABILITY TO PRODUCE POWER OR WITH THE ADEQUACY OF THE ACFT'S BRAKES.
