NTSB accident and incident record under N36596

SEA02LA165Accident on August 25, 2002 at Melstone, MT: no injuries, substantial damage.

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Bellanca 7GCBC · serial 579-73

The pilot's improper decision to continue a takeoff once it had become apparent that it was questionable whether the aircraft would clear an obstacle at the departure end of the takeoff area. Factors include the pilot's failure to perform pre-takeoff performance calculations, a high density altitude, and a ditch berm at the end of the area the pilot was using for the attempted takeoff.
