Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot reported the takeoff roll was normal; however shortly after takeoff during the climb he noted a reduction in the climb performance at takeoff power. He stated the airplane began to settle, eventually impacting terrain in a tail-low attitude. The pilot and the five passengers aboard the airplane were not injured and were able to exit the airplane without assistance. Post accident examination of the engine revealed no evidence of a mechanical malfunction that would have contributed to a loss of engine power. Downloaded data for the airplane's engine monitoring system revealed no evidence of an engine anomaly. Data from the accident flight were consistent with normal engine operations and no different from the values found in identically equipped and configured engine.
