THE PILOT IN COMMAND EXECUTED A STEP TURN RESULTING IN HIS FINAL TAKEOFF PATH DOWNWIND WHICH WOULD HAVE PLACED THE AIRPLANE'S FLIGHT PATH OVER THE BANK WITH THE LEAST OBSTRUCTIONS, EXCEPT FOR THE SMALL SCRUB TREE. THE AIRPLANE STRUCK THE SMALL SCRUB TREE AND TRAVELED ANOTHER 450 FEET BEFORE STRIKING LARGER TREES AND FINALLY COMING TO REST FACING A HEADING OF 150 DEGREES MAGNETIC.
