What happened
During takeoff from McCall Airport, located in mountainous terrain at an elevation of 5,021 feet, the pilot reported that the initial acceleration was normal. After departing, the pilot lowered the nose to accelerate to the best angle of climb while remaining within ground effect. As the aircraft began its climb after reaching this angle, the airspeed decayed rapidly.
In response to the loss of airspeed, the pilot lowered the nose and turned the Cessna (type not specified in source) toward a crosswind and lower terrain. The pilot subsequently landed on the ground but struck a wire fence. The impact with the fence caused the aircraft to nose over, resulting in substantial damage.
At 1650, the METAR for McCall reported winds from 260 degrees at 7 knots, visibility of 10 statute miles, a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, and an altimeter setting of 30.14 inches.
