## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Overrun, takeoff - roll/run
  - preflight planning/preparation - inadequate, pilot in command (cause)
  - aircraft weight and balance - excessive, pilot in command (contributing factor)
  - aircraft performance - exceeded
  - lift-off - not attained, pilot in command

## Analysis

THE PILOT ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HE ATTEMPTED TO TAKE OFF ON AN AERIAL APPLICATION FLT WITH THE ACFT LOADED ABOVE ITS MAXIMUMCERTIFICATED GROSS WEIGHT. HE STATED THAT HE HAD PREVIOUSLY FLOWN WITH CHEMICAL LOADS & HAD NOT ENCOUNTERED PROBLEMS TAKING OFF. PRIOR TO THIS FLT, HOWEVER, A CHEMICAL WITH GREATER DENSITY (WEIGHT/VOLUME), WAS LOASED ABOARD THE ACFT. ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, HE HAD NOT CONSIDERED THE ADDED WEIGHT WHEN THE ACFT WAS LOADED. DURING THE ATTEMPTED TAKEOFF, THE ACFT WOULD NOT BECOME AIRBORNE. IT OVERRAN THE END OF THE 2650 FT LONG RWY & COLLIDED WITH THE TERRAIN.
