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 acft struck a fence during takeoff. The plt said he rotated too soon and was unable to remain airborne. When the acft collided with the fence it cartwheeled, resulting in engine separation and near separation of the empennage. The wind was reported as from 070 degrees at 4 KTS at dayton but the plt reported calm conditions.
