THE PILOT STATED THAT AFTER LIFTOFF THE AIRCRAFT WOULD NOT 'ACCELERATE ENOUGH TO CLEAR 10' TO 12' BRUSH AT END OF STRIP.' THE AIRCRAFT CONTACTED THE VEGATATION AND SPUN AROUND BEFORE COMING TO REST FACING THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT ALSO ADDED THAT 'THE CONDITION OF THE STRIP PROBABLY WAS THE BIG FACTOR AS THERE WERE SANDY POCKETS THAT SLOWED OUR T.O. RUN.'
Probable Cause: THE SELECTION OF THE SOFT SANDY STRIP FOR TAKEOFF BY THE PILOT AND HIS PREMATURE LIFTOFF COMBINED TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ATTAIN CLIMB AIRSPEED BEFORE COLLIDING WITH BUSHES AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY.
