The 33-hour student pilot was performing a short field takeoff. He selected two notches of flaps and while holding the brakes, applied full power. The airplane accelerated to 65 knots and lifted from the runway. The airspeed then decreased so the pilot pushed the nose over and retracted the flaps. He continued to descend and the airspeed would not increase. The pilot force landed the airplane off the end of the runway and it impacted trees. According to the Federal Aviation Administration inspector, there were no mechanical malfunctions with the airframe or engine. Winds at the time of the accident were from 240 degrees at 10 knots, with 16-knot wind gusts.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to attain an adequate airspeed, which resulted in a forced landing off the end of the runway. A contributing factor to the accident was the gusting wind.
