Accident Sequence
A witness reported observing a twin-engine airplane during its takeoff roll. The airplane had traveled approximately three-quarters of the length of the runway without achieving lift. Subsequently, it veered off the right side of the runway, became airborne, entered a left turn, stalled, and impacted the ground. During the initial climb, the witness noted black smoke coming from the right engine.
Pre-Accident Information
The pilot-rated passenger occupying the right front seat provided information about the right engine. According to the passenger, the right engine had been reworked several months prior to the accident. The passenger stated that the engine would "flood out" when the mixture control was advanced. During the takeoff roll, the pilot was reported to be unable to bring the mixture up on the right engine, yet the pilot continued the takeoff.
Observations and Statements
The only known observations and statements regarding the accident are from the witness and the passenger. No other sources or documentation were provided in the initial report.
