Incident Details
The pilot was informed that the sod strip measured 1,800 feet in length. Based on this information, he calculated a takeoff distance of 1,720 feet required to clear a 50-foot obstacle. However, the actual length of the sod strip was 1,300 feet. During the takeoff roll, the pilot realized he would not be able to clear 30-foot-tall power lines at the end of the strip and decided to abort the takeoff. He was unable to stop the aircraft on the remaining runway. The aircraft slid through a fence and came to rest in a ditch.
No other details such as aircraft type, registration, operator, date, location, injuries, or damage are provided in the source.
Outcome
The source does not specify any injuries or damage to the aircraft beyond sliding through a fence and into a ditch.
