The student pilot stated that he was practicing full-stop landings on a short, grass runway. On his second takeoff, he was dissatisfied with the airplane's rate of climb and aborted the takeoff approximately 2/3 of the way down the runway. After touchdown, the airplane overran the departure end of the runway and came to rest in a bean field, which resulted in substantial damage to the nose gear, firewall, fuselage and propeller. The student pilot's certified flight instructor (CFI) stated that the runway's length and surface 'doesn't allow for mistakes.†The student pilot further stated there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions to the airplane or any of its systems prior to the accident.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's delayed decision to abort the takeoff, resulting in an overrun.
