History of Flight
The pilot had landed at a remote airstrip to attend a local rodeo. The airstrip was 2000 feet long and consisted of loose gravel. During the subsequent takeoff, the pilot selected 10 degrees of flaps. He reported that the aircraft became airborne but was unable to accelerate or climb. He further stated that he could no longer successfully abort the takeoff. Subsequently, the right wing dropped, struck the ground, and the aircraft cartwheeled.
Meteorological and Aerodrome Information
The wind was calm, and the temperature was 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The airstrip elevation was 5900 feet above mean sea level, and the density altitude was calculated at 7500 feet.
