What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
I started out by refueling the aircraft and then a preflight inspection was performed including a passenger safety briefing. Engine was started and all coms and instruments were turned on. Once engine reached normal operational tempeture I began my taxi to runway 14 for a departure to the south. Prior to entering runway 14 at threshhold, I conducted an engine runup and a controls check. Everything checked out normal. I communicated my intentions to enter 14 and takeoff. I began the takeoff roll and rotated at 60MPH indicated. Aircraft entered a positve rate of climb and all instruments were showing in the green. Suddenly I began to experience what I can describe as a decent like on an elevator. This feeling was familar since I had expereiced it before at a neighoring airport during landing. I started to check to see if I was losing power and I was not. Engine was at full power. As I ran out of runway since I was to FAR down range, I noticed the rate of decent would put me on top of unmarked high tension power lines. I made the decison to turn right and paralell of the power lines and attempt to put the aircraft down on county route 60. As I tried to slip in between poles to make the roadway one wing made contact with powerline and that cause the aircraft to violently descend to the roadway uncontrolled.
As the FAA filed it
I STARTED OUT BY REFUELING THE AIRCRAFT AND THEN A PREFLIGHT INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED INCLUDING A PASSENGER SAFETY BRIEFING. ENGINE WAS STARTED AND ALL COMS AND INSTRUMENTS WERE TURNED ON. ONCE ENGINE REACHED NORMAL OPERATIONAL TEMPETURE I BEGAN MY TAXI TO RUNWAY 14 FOR A DEPARTURE TO THE SOUTH. PRIOR TO ENTERING RUNWAY 14 AT THRESHHOLD, I CONDUCTED AN ENGINE RUNUP AND A CONTROLS CHECK. EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT NORMAL. I COMMUNICATED MY INTENTIONS TO ENTER 14 AND TAKEOFF. I BEGAN THE TAKEOFF ROLL AND ROTATED AT 60MPH INDICATED. AIRCRAFT ENTERED A POSITVE RATE OF CLIMB AND ALL INSTRUMENTS WERE SHOWING IN THE GREEN. SUDDENLY I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE WHAT I CAN DESCRIBE AS A DECENT LIKE ON AN ELEVATOR. THIS FEELING WAS FAMILAR SINCE I HAD EXPEREICED IT BEFORE AT A NEIGHORING AIRPORT DURING LANDING. I STARTED TO CHECK TO SEE IF I WAS LOSING POWER AND I WAS NOT. ENGINE WAS AT FULL POWER. AS I RAN OUT OF RUNWAY SINCE I WAS TO FAR DOWN RANGE, I NOTICED THE RATE OF DECENT WOULD PUT ME ON TOP OF UNMARKED HIGH TENSION POWER LINES. I MADE THE DECISON TO TURN RIGHT AND PARALELL OF THE POWER LINES AND ATTEMPT TO PUT THE AIRCRAFT DOWN ON COUNTY ROUTE 60. AS I TRIED TO SLIP IN BETWEEN POLES TO MAKE THE ROADWAY ONE WING MADE CONTACT WITH POWERLINE AND THAT CAUSE THE AIRCRAFT TO VIOLENTLY DESCEND TO THE ROADWAY UNCONTROLLED.
