The Piper PA-28-161 Warrior II aircraft departed from Claresholm Industrial Airport (CEJ4), Alberta, on a visual flight rules flight with 2 people on board, both of whom were licensed pilots. The aircraft was bound for a mixed-hay field approximately 2 nautical miles (nm) east of Black Diamond, Alberta. At approximately 13:30, the aircraft landed along the southern edge of the hay field, which was normally used as the landing area. The aircraft occupants proceeded to work in the field for the rest of the afternoon. At 19:00, they prepared to depart for the return trip to Claresholm. At approximately 19:15, the take-off run was conducted heading east, beginning from the southwest corner of the field.
The aircraft failed to climb sufficiently to clear some hay bales that had been stacked in the southeast corner of the field, and struck them. The left-wing fuel tank ruptured on impact, and the resulting post-impact fire destroyed the aircraft
The investigation determined that neither occupant was wearing the available shoulder harness; however, both occupants were wearing their lap belts. Both occupants received head injuries. One managed to escape the aircraft, but the other did not and was fatally injured. No emergency locator transmitter (ELT) signal was detected, and the ELT was destroyed in the post-impact fire.
