Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PILOT ABORTED THE TAKEOFF FROM THE SOD STRIP WHEN THE AIRPLANE DID NOT APPEAR TO ACCELERATE SUFFICIENTLY TO EXECUTE A SAFE TAKEOFF. THE AIRPLANE CONTINUED OFF THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY AND COLLIDED WITH TERRAIN. EXAMINATION OF THE AIRCRAFT FAILED TO DISCLOSE ANY MECHANICAL PROBLEMS, NOR DID THE PILOT REPORT AN AIRCRAFT PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE AIRCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL, AT GROSS WEIGHT, APPROXIMATELY 2100 FEET OF RUNWAY IS NEEDED FOR A NORMAL TAKEOFF FROM A DRY SOD RUNWAY; THE RUNWAY WAS 3100 FEET LONG.
