ON 7/21/2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 1407 LOCAL TIME, A PIPER ARROW II, PA-28R-200, REGISTRATION NUMBER N99YP, PILOTED BY ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, COMMERCIAL PILOT CERTIFICATE NUMBER ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, PLANNED TO DEPART RUNWAY (RWY) 13 AT THE BOONE AIRPORT (NC14) IN VFR WEATHER CONDITIONS, AND ON A PART 91 VFR FLIGHT TO NORTH WILKESBORO (UKF). THE PIC CONDUCTED A PREFLIGHT, WEIGHT AND BALANCE AND PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS, WHICH ALL INDICATED THAT THE FLIGHT COULD BE CONDUCTED SAFELY. A TAKEOFF BRIEFING USING SHORT FIELD PROCEDURES WAS CONDUCTED. AFTER THE TAKEOFF AND RUN-UP CHECKS HAD BEEN COMPLETED, THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN ITS TAKEOFF ROLL USING THE FULL LENGTH OF RWY13. ACCORDING TO THE PIC AND 2 OF THE PASSENGERS, THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO ROTATE APPROXIMATELY 2000 FEET DOWN THE RUNWAY (500 FEET LONGER THAN PLANNED GROUND ROLL) AT WHICH POINT A SOUND WAS HEARD BY THE PASSENGER IN THE LEFT FRONT SEAT, THE PIC ALSO HEARD A NOISE AND THE TAKEOFF WAS ABORTED. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST IN A SMALL DITCH AFTER EXITING THE PAVED RUNWAY AND STRIKING THE AIRPORT FENCE. THE PIC AND THREE PASSENGERS WERE NOT INJURED. THE AIRCRAFT DAMAGE WAS CATEGORIZED AND MINOR. INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THE PIC ABORTED THE TAKEOFF WITH INSUFFICIENT RUNWAY REMAINING. PREFLIGHT PLANNING CALCULATED THE GROUND ROLL FOR TAKEOFF TO BE APPROXIMATELY 1500 FEET. PIC DID NOT TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF WHEN THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT ACHIEVE FLYING SPEED AT THE END OF ACCELERATION DISTANCE GROUND ROLL. ACCORDING TO PREFLIGHT PLANNING, AN ABORT AT THIS POINT WOULD HAVE PROVIDED ADEQUATE STOPPING DISTANCE ON THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE RUNWAY. RECOMMENDATIONS: AIRMAN COUNSELING REGARDING HIGH DENSITY ALTITUDE AIRPORT RISK ASSESSMENTS, DECISION MAKING, LEANING PROCEDURES AND ENSURING FLYING SPEED IS ACHIEVED BY THE PLANNED ACCELERATION DISTANCE GROUND ROLL WAS RECOMMENDED AND HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
