Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
The aircraft was based on the runway located in Hiendelaencina (Guadalajara) from where it was performing firefighting operations. At 17:30 local time, when it was taking off to perform a product unloading at a fire, it left the runway on the right side, hit the perimeter fence of the runway and came to a stop about 100 meters from the edge of the runway.
The pilot (sole occupant) was able to abandon the aircraft by his own means without any additional problems and was unharmed.

CONCLUSIONS
It is considered that the most probable cause of the accident was the execution of a right turn immediately after leaving contact with the ground during takeoff, when the aircraft did not yet have sufficient speed to do so, preventing it from continuing the climb because the weight was not compensated by the vertical component of the lift.
