Accident Sequence
A pilot-rated individual who observed the entire flight and accident provided an account of the events. Following takeoff and retraction of the landing gear, the aircraft remained at a very low altitude. The observer speculated that this was intended to build airspeed. The aircraft traveled to the far end of the runway and then commenced a steep climb. This climb transitioned into a rolling motion to the left. The roll persisted but was not completed before the aircraft impacted trees with its nose oriented downward.
Witness Observations
The primary witness, along with two additional eyewitnesses, stated that the engine continued to produce high power until the moment of impact. Examination of the aircraft and engine revealed no evidence of any malfunction or failure prior to the accident.
Additional Context
The density altitude on the occasion was approximately 2,100 feet. No information regarding the aircraft type, registration, location, or other aspects was disclosed.
