DESPITE THAT FINDING THE PLTELECTED TO TAKEOFF BUT ABORTED AS HE REALIZED THAT HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET AIRBORNE BEFORE REACHING THE END OF THE RWY.

SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, ACCORDING TO THE PLT, THE ACFT BEGAN TO LOSE PWR AND A LANDING WAS MADE IN UNIMPROVED TERRAIN BEYOND THE END OF THE RWY. THE NOSE GEAR HIT A HOLE CAUSING THE ACFT TO NOSE OVER.
