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 reported that rain had occurred on the previous night and there was water on the 2430 ft grass runway. He reported that during rotation, the aircraft hit the water and lost airspeed. Subsequently, the aircraft failed to gain sufficient altitude to clear trees beyond the end of the runway. It struck an orange tree and crashed.
