Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PLT INADVERTANTLY TAXIED THE ACFT TO THE WRONG RWY FOR TAKEOFF. THE PLT DID SAY HE SAW ACFT DEPARTING FROM ANOTHER RWY. TAKEOFF WAS ATTEMPTED WITH A 19 KT X-WIND. THE ACFT RAN OFF THE SIDE OF THE RWY BEFORE BECOMING AIRBORNE. THE ARPT MANAGER HAS SINCE AGREED TO POSITION A SIGN DIRECTING TRAFFIC TO THE VARIOUS RWYS NEAR A DECISION INTERSECTION ON THE ARPT.
