What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During a personal flight, the student rated pilot, with a passenger, attempted a takeoff from a private grass airstrip that was 2,000 ft in length. The runway had an upward slope during its initial 1,000 ft with the steepest slope occurring during its initial 700 ft. a witness stated that the engine sounded normal and the airplane’s acceleration was slow during its uphill takeoff roll. The airplane lifted off about 900 ft down the runway and entered a nose-high attitude followed by what appeared to be an aerodynamic stall. The airplane descended, impacted terrain, and was destroyed.
