Incident Overview
A pilot elected to abort a takeoff after the aircraft became airborne while executing a short field takeoff procedure from a 2,400-foot grass airstrip. The aircraft was carrying four adults and one toddler. According to the report, the airplane was a couple of feet above the ground as the pilot attempted to accelerate. When the aircraft had used approximately two-thirds of the runway, the pilot closed the throttle to abort the takeoff.
Sequence of Events
The airplane touched down near the end of the runway. The pilot then applied the brakes to stop the aircraft. However, braking action on the grass surface did not slow the airplane down. Subsequently, the airplane overran the runway, went through a barbed wire fence, and impacted fence posts.
Environmental Conditions
The density altitude at the time of the incident was 2,600 feet. The winds were calm.
