Accident Details
A pilot attempted to depart from a private grass strip located on a plateau at an elevation of approximately 6,400 feet mean sea level (MSL). The grass strip, which measures about 3,000 feet in length, features an upslope of approximately 10% for the first half and a downslope of approximately 10% for the second half.
Pilot Statement
According to the pilot, he was unable to achieve flight due to the elevation and the roughness of the grass strip. When it became apparent that flight was not going to be achieved, the pilot aborted the takeoff. However, the abort was initiated too late, and the aircraft subsequently made contact with a fence and rough terrain.
Outcome
The aircraft struck a fence and encountered rough terrain during the aborted takeoff. No further details regarding damage or occupant status are available from the report.
