WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TAKEOFF FOR AN AERIAL APPLICATION OPERATION, THE PILOT SAID HE HIT A WATER FILLED HOLE ON THE RUNWAY. THE ACFT VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY AND STRUCK A POLE. BOTH WINGS AND THE EMPENNAGE SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. THE AREA HAD BEEN DELUGED WITH HEAVY RAINS, AND THE HOLE THAT WAS STRUCK WAS WHERE A POLE HAD BEEN REMOVED. THE HEAVY RAINS CAUSED THE SOIL AROUND THE HOLE TO SINK IN AND ENLARGE THE INDENTATION.
Probable Cause: THE SELECTION OF UNSUITABLE TERRAIN TO TAKEOFF FROM BY THE PILOT AND THE INADEQUATE RUNWAY MAINTENANCE BY AIRPORT PERSONNEL. CONTRIBUTING TO THE ACCIDENT WAS THE HIDDEN HOLE WHICH THE AIRPLANE CONTACTED RESULTING IN THE PILOT'S INABILITY TO CONTROL THE AIRPLANE.
