Narrative:

During the takeoff roll on runway 36R at clt, I aborted the takeoff between 30-50 KTS, because the takeoff warning horn sounded. It sounded because the flaps were up. The airplane at the ramp was covered with ice, the APU was inoperative and there were numerous glitches before we boarded the airplane with passenger. The deicing pad was on runway 5/23. It took maybe 20-25 mins to get deiced because we had to have an engine running at all times. After leaving the deice pad, there was a delay in getting through to ground control because of frequency congestion. Then another short delay as we taxied behind a king air(?) we did our 4TH xbleed start and got the after start checklist done. Then I sent the first officer back to check the wings from the cabin. We were cleared for takeoff before the first officer climbed back in his seat. To help with the workload, I made the takeoff announcement. The first officer at that point proceeded with the rest of the 'before takeoff' checklist at the 'takeoff announcement' part. Clearing the runway I said we would go back to the gate. I put a write-up in the logbook about #2 engine oil pressure so that I would not have to tell the tower how stupid I was, although this turns out to be an even bigger mistake. At the gate I immediately called the chief pilot at pittsburgh and told him all. This was a bad trip sequence with freezing rain, delays, no information, get to the hotel at XA00 am twice, an XB15 overnight and maybe the nasal spray had something to do with it. Supplemental information from acn 263593: I hurriedly did the other 2 checklist items below the line wrongly assuming the captain had done the above the line items of the 'before takeoff' checklist while I was in the cabin in order to save time and not exceed our holdover time.

Title: NO FLAP TKOF ATTEMPT BEGETS A TKOF WARNING HORN. TKOF ABORTED.

Narrative: DURING THE TKOF ROLL ON RWY 36R AT CLT, I ABORTED THE TKOF BTWN 30-50 KTS, BECAUSE THE TKOF WARNING HORN SOUNDED. IT SOUNDED BECAUSE THE FLAPS WERE UP. THE AIRPLANE AT THE RAMP WAS COVERED WITH ICE, THE APU WAS INOP AND THERE WERE NUMEROUS GLITCHES BEFORE WE BOARDED THE AIRPLANE WITH PAX. THE DEICING PAD WAS ON RWY 5/23. IT TOOK MAYBE 20-25 MINS TO GET DEICED BECAUSE WE HAD TO HAVE AN ENG RUNNING AT ALL TIMES. AFTER LEAVING THE DEICE PAD, THERE WAS A DELAY IN GETTING THROUGH TO GND CTL BECAUSE OF FREQ CONGESTION. THEN ANOTHER SHORT DELAY AS WE TAXIED BEHIND A KING AIR(?) WE DID OUR 4TH XBLEED START AND GOT THE AFTER START CHKLIST DONE. THEN I SENT THE FO BACK TO CHK THE WINGS FROM THE CABIN. WE WERE CLRED FOR TKOF BEFORE THE FO CLBED BACK IN HIS SEAT. TO HELP WITH THE WORKLOAD, I MADE THE TKOF ANNOUNCEMENT. THE FO AT THAT POINT PROCEEDED WITH THE REST OF THE 'BEFORE TKOF' CHKLIST AT THE 'TKOF ANNOUNCEMENT' PART. CLRING THE RWY I SAID WE WOULD GO BACK TO THE GATE. I PUT A WRITE-UP IN THE LOGBOOK ABOUT #2 ENG OIL PRESSURE SO THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO TELL THE TWR HOW STUPID I WAS, ALTHOUGH THIS TURNS OUT TO BE AN EVEN BIGGER MISTAKE. AT THE GATE I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE CHIEF PLT AT PITTSBURGH AND TOLD HIM ALL. THIS WAS A BAD TRIP SEQUENCE WITH FREEZING RAIN, DELAYS, NO INFO, GET TO THE HOTEL AT XA00 AM TWICE, AN XB15 OVERNIGHT AND MAYBE THE NASAL SPRAY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FROM ACN 263593: I HURRIEDLY DID THE OTHER 2 CHKLIST ITEMS BELOW THE LINE WRONGLY ASSUMING THE CAPT HAD DONE THE ABOVE THE LINE ITEMS OF THE 'BEFORE TKOF' CHKLIST WHILE I WAS IN THE CABIN IN ORDER TO SAVE TIME AND NOT EXCEED OUR HOLDOVER TIME.
