Incident Overview
A pilot reported an incident during takeoff where the airplane exhibited performance limitations and subsequently sustained landing gear damage after contacting a tundra berm. The event involved the airplane's right main landing gear being sheared off and the nose landing gear collapsing during a forced landing on a beach.
Pilot Account
According to the pilot, after becoming airborne, the airplane would not climb higher than about 2 feet above the ground without the stall warning horn sounding. The pilot also stated that the takeoff roll was delayed due to standing water and mud puddles on the runway surface.
Sequence of Events
Approximately 20 feet past the end of the runway, the airplane's right main landing gear struck a 3-foot-high tundra berm, resulting in the gear being sheared off. The pilot then reduced power and executed a landing on the beach that parallels the runway. During this landing, the nose landing gear collapsed.
