## Probable cause

AN ABORTED TAKEOFF WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE WET, SOFT RUNWAY WAS A FACTOR.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Overrun, takeoff - roll/run
  - terrain condition - soft (contributing factor)
  - aborted takeoff - not performed, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water encounter with terrain/water, takeoff - roll/run
  - terrain condition - dirt bank/rising embankment

## Analysis

DURING THE TAKEOFF GROUND RUN, ON A WET, AND SOFT DIRT AIRSTRIP, THE AIRPLANE WAS UNABLE TO ATTAIN AN ADEQUATE GROUND SPEED TO BECOME AIRBORNE. THE AIRPLANE RAN OFF THE END OF THE AIRSTRIP, COLLIDED WITH A DIRT BANK, FENCE AND OTHER OBJECTS BEFORE COMING TO REST.
