Narrative:
The aircraft had been spraying since 7:00 local time. During the morning he had made 7 flights and at 10:15 local time he was about to make the eighth flight.
Before starting, he refueled the aircraft with 400 liters and loaded the hopper with 1500 liters. As takeoff runway he used an airstrip runway known as Rambla Castellana, which had been properly compacted. The temperature was approximately 25ºC.
As the aircraft was taking off, the pilot observed that the aircraft was traveling more runway than necessary without taking off. Observing that the runway was ending, he released the load and attempted to lift the nose of the aircraft to clear a gully area. The aircraft lifted slightly and then contacted the ground and turned slightly to the left.
It finally came to a stop between 500 and 600 meters after the end of the runway.
