Accident Overview
A certificated commercial pilot and two passengers, who were hunting clients, conducted a takeoff from a remote 650-foot-long gravel area. The pilot initiated the takeoff roll in a southeast direction, with a reported 10-knot wind.
Flight Sequence
During the takeoff, the airplane became momentarily airborne in ground effect. However, at the end of the takeoff area, the ground sloped downhill, causing the airplane to begin descending. The pilot stated that the wind decreased to zero during the takeoff roll.
Impact and Outcome
The aircraft subsequently collided with trees beyond the takeoff area and then nosed over. The source does not specify injuries, damage, or further details about the occupants or aircraft.
Operational Context
The takeoff was conducted from a remote location with limited runway length. The wind conditions changed rapidly from a headwind to calm, and the terrain beyond the strip featured a downhill slope and trees.
