Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PILOT REPORTED THAT DURING TAKEOFF, HE ACCELERATED TO 68 MPH, THEN REALIZED HE WOULD BE UNABLE TO CLEAR TREES. HE STATED THAT HE CLOSED THE THROTTLE AND MIXTURE, AIMED THE AIRCRAFT AT AN OPENING IN THE TREES, AND MAINTAINED A LEVEL ATTITUDE UNTIL IMPACT. THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE TREES ABOUT 18 FT AGL. THE LANDING STRIP WAS ABOUT 1700 FT LONG AND SLOPED UPHILL AT APPROXIMATELY A 3 DEGREE ANGLE TO ABOUT MIDFIELD. ABOUT HALF OF THE STRIP APPEARED TO BE FRESHLY PLOWED AND HAD BEEN DRAGGED WITH A BAR TO SMOOTH OUT THE HIGH SPOTS AND WAS STILL SOFT. THE TREES AT THE END OF THE STRIP WERE ABOUT 50 FEET TALL. THE PERFORMANCE CHART FOR THIS AIRCRAFT SHOWED THAT APPROXIMATELY 1700 FT WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR TAKEOFF WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF THE UPWARD SLOPE AND SOFT SURFACE.
