Read the full NTSB narrative

AFTER TAXIING ONTO THE RWY THE PLT RAN THE ENGS UP TO TAKEOFF POWER OF 36' MP & BEGAN THE TAKEOFF ROLL. SHORTLY THEREAFTER SHE REDUCED POWER TO ABOUT 25'-30' MP BECAUSE THE ACFT APPEARED TO ACCELERATE SLOWLY. AFTER A QUICK SCAN OF THE INSTRUMENTS WHICH REVEALED NOTHING UNUSUAL, SHE AGAIN PUSHED FORWARD ON THE THROTTLE. ANOTHER CHECK OF THE INSTRUMENTS INDICATED THAT SHE WAS ONLY UP TO 30'-33' MP, SO SHE PUSHED THE THROTTLES FORWARD MORE TO GET 36' MP. BY THIS TIME THE ACFT STARTED A DRIFT TO THE RIGHT WHICH SHE WAS UNABLE TO CORRECT. THE ACFT VEERED OFF THE RWY INTO TREES.THE ACFT WAS FOUND TO HAVE 10 DEGS OF FLAPS DOWN.
