What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot departed airport loaded to max gross takeoff weight. Outside temperature was 80 degrees f. on departure roll, the aircraft lifted off the runway and proceeded to slowly climb to an altitude of about 100' AGL. At that point the pilot realized the aircraft was not performing as expected and was beginning to slow down. The pilot pitched the nose lower and lower to maintain a safe airspeed at which point the aircraft began to descend. The pilot elected to keep descending into the field ahead in order to keep from stalling. The aircraft landed on a field and impacted a fence which caused the aircraft to flip over. Minor injuries. Aircraft was substantially damaged.
