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 initiated his takeoff on runway 12 from an intersection with runway 16. From this intersection, there was 2175 ft or runway remaining. During the takeoff, the aircraft struck the roof of a garage about 360 ft from the departure end of the runway. The aircraft then struck a power pole, power lines, telephone lines, a house top and a pickup truck. An examination of the aircraft and accident site revealed no evidence of a preimpact, mechanical malfunction or failure. The pilot had not calculated his takeoff roll before starting his departure and had not used a short field takeoff procedure. The density altitude was about 6700 ft. for the altitude and weather conditions, an estimate ground roll to clear a 10 ft obstacle was about 2241 ft.
