PILOT STATED THAT BY THAT TIME THE AIRCRAFT WAS QUICKLY FILLING UP WITH BLACK SMOKE. HE OPENED THE VENT WINDOW AND THE DOOR AND STATED THE LAST THING HE SAW WAS THAT HE WAS OVER THE RUNWAY, MAYBE 5 TO 10 FT. IN THE AIR. IT WAS AT THIS TIME THAT THE SMOKE GOT SO THICK THAT HE LOST ALL SIGHT. HE EASED THE AIRCRAFT ONTO THE RUNWAY AND PUSHED ON THE RIGHT RUDDER PEDAL AND FELT THE AIRCRAFT ROLL INTO THE GRASS. BY NOW FLAMES WERE VISIBLE FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PANEL. THE PILOT EXITED THE AIRCRAFT AND RAN TO THE AIRPORT OFFICE.
