Incident Overview
During a takeoff following a touch-and-go landing, a flight of birds flew in front of the airplane, resulting in a bird strike on the right side of the aircraft. The pilot subsequently aborted the takeoff and landed on the runway. However, the pilot reported that there was "no runway distance for safe landing," and the airplane was unable to stop before departing the end of the runway.
Sequence of Events
After the bird strike, the pilot initiated an aborted takeoff. The airplane touched down on the runway but could not decelerate sufficiently to remain on the pavement. The aircraft continued off the end of the runway, where it impacted terrain and nosed over.
Damage Assessment
The airplane sustained minor damage from the bird strike itself. During the accident sequence involving the runway excursion and impact with terrain, the fuselage and empennage received substantial damage.
Mechanical Condition
The pilot reported that there were no pre-impact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation. This indicates that the aircraft was functioning properly before the bird strike event.
