What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During climb-out, the pilot noticed the aircraft would not achieve a positive rate of climb. The pilot decided to abort the take-off, reduced power, and attempted to land using the remaining runway. Realizing there was not enough runway and not wanting to impact a chain link fence, he added power. The aircraft cleared the fence and touched down in a yard/gravel driveway across the street from the airport. The aircraft continued on into a wooded area and struck several trees before coming to rest in a nose down inverted position against a tree.
