WITH TEMPS HIGH AT ARPT; A PA32 PLT HITS A RWY LIGHT ON TKOF DURING A 'PWR ON STALL' CONDITION DURING LIFTOFF FROM RWY AT I69.

Narrative

DURING TKOF FROM RWY 22 AT I69; BATAVIA-CLERMONT COUNTY ARPT; ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON; I EXPERIENCED A PWR-ON STALL JUST AFTER ROTATION WITH A LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CTL CAUSING A DRIFT OF THE ACFT L OF CTRLINE STRIKING A RWY LIGHT. AFTER GETTING AIRBORNE; I NURSED THE ACFT AROUND THE PATTERN AND MADE A PRECAUTIONARY LOW APCH SO THERE WAS VISUAL CONFIRMATION THAT LNDG GEAR WAS INTACT. I THEN RETURNED TO LAND. INSPECTION REVEALED THAT LIGHT STRIKE HAD BEEN ON AFT STARBOARD FUSELAGE. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE TEMP (80+ DEGS); HIGH DENSITY ALT (APPROX 2400 FT); 8% UPSLOPE OF RWY 22; AN INTERMITTENT XWIND; UNDER-INFLATED NOSE GEAR TIRE AND ACFT LOADING OF 3 ADULTS AND 1 CHILD. DIFFICULTY WAS ENCOUNTERED ON ACFT START-UP; ALTHOUGH RUN-UP WAS UNEVENTFUL; AND ACFT WAS NOT LEANED FOR TKOF CONSIDERING HIGH DENSITY ALT. GIVEN THE UNUSUALLY WARM WX WITH HIGH DENSITY ALT; PIC SHOULD HAVE MORE THOROUGHLY BRIEFED HIMSELF ON TKOF ROLL REQUIREMENTS OF ACFT IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE. PIC WILL REVIEW ACFT PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR TKOF AND LNDGS PRIOR TO FUTURE FLTS.
