Incident Details
The pilot was conducting a takeoff on runway 05, which is a 2,200-foot long asphalt runway. Approximately three-quarters of the way down the runway, the pilot attempted to rotate the airplane, but it did not respond as expected. The pilot then observed that the airspeed indicator appeared to indicate a speed lower than the 65 knots necessary to continue with the rotation.
Abort and Overrun
At that point, the pilot aborted the takeoff. The airplane subsequently overran the end of the runway and struck rocks. Weather conditions at the time of the accident were reported as calm winds.
Aircraft Condition
The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane. The investigation did not identify any preexisting issues with the aircraft's systems or structure.
