Incident Overview
An aircraft landed on Anderson Lake to obtain fuel. After refueling, the pilot initiated a takeoff but aborted it when the aircraft was slow to accelerate. Approximately 20 gallons of fuel were then drained from the aircraft.
Second Takeoff Attempt
The pilot began another takeoff by making a step turn to the departure heading. He stated that he lifted off at 45 miles per hour with half flaps. According to the pilot, it appeared the engine was not developing full power, and he possibly encountered a wind shear condition. After reaching about 100 feet above ground level, the plane would not climb further.
Collision and Crash
Subsequently, the plane collided with transmission lines along a road that divides Anderson Lake and King Lake. After striking the lines, the aircraft crashed into King Lake.
Pilot Statement
The pilot reported that the engine seemed to lack full power and that a wind shear condition may have been present. No further details regarding the aircraft type, registration, or occupant status were provided in the source.
