Incident Overview
A pilot reported that during an aborted takeoff, the aircraft overran the departure end of the runway, and the left main gear subsequently failed. The pilot stated that he misjudged the performance of the aircraft, and when he decided to abort, there was insufficient runway remaining to stop.
Contributing Factors (per pilot)
The pilot believed that several environmental and runway conditions contributed to the accident: high density altitude, a soft runway surface, gusty winds, and an upward sloping runway.
Environmental Conditions
The airport elevation was 2,100 feet, and the temperature was approximately 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The pilot reported wind from 080 degrees at 10 knots, gusting to 20 knots.
