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 took off from a 900 ft sod airstrip with a reported 6 kt head wind. He stated that there was not enough power to climb and the aircraft remained about 20 to 30 ft AGL. Due to the proximity of obstacles a forced landing was made in an open field about 1/2 mile from the airstrip. The pilot said the aircraft was probably over grossed for the temperature, humidity and runway length. He estimated that the temperature was between 85 and 90 deg. The reported elevation was 810 ft MSL. The aircraft was damaged during the landing.
