| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot said that there were five people on board the aircraft, and he was attempting a soft field takeoff but the aircraft was not accelerating in ground effect. He said that with about a third of the runway left, he believed that he could easily stop the aircraft, but when he applied the brakes the aircraft did not slow down, so he aimed for what looked like the lowest part of the fence ahead of him. He said he was about to pull the mixture, when he decided to add power and jump the fence instead, and the aircraft struck the fence with the undercarriage and tail, incurring substantial damage. According to the pilot, prior to the accident there had been no mechanical failure or malfunction to the aircraft or any of its systems.
Probable Cause: the pilot's improper planning/decision and failure to properly judge takeoff distance, and his delayed decision to abort the takeoff, which resulted in the aircraft colliding with a fence at the end of the runway, and incurring substantial damage.
