Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot utilized a soft field technique and commenced his takeoff from the runway threshold. During takeoff run he observed the runway end markers and elected to put down full flaps. The aircraft became airborne just before colliding with the end marker and subsequently settling into trees located off the end of the runway. Research revealed that a NOTAM, initiated by the pilot, had been in effect 5 days prior to the accident which closed the runway until conditions improved.
