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 had landed on a short airstrip with a 10 kt headwind. When a takeoff was attempted the wind had stopped, according to the plt, and the acft would not become airborne. The acft went off the departure end of the rwy into underbrush and a gulley. The plt said he should not have used such a marginal airstrip.
