Turbo P32R. They require a stage of flap for a normal take off. And the T-tail model has less control authority due to being positioned above the slipstream. Unfortunately, sluggish acceleration is sometimes difficult to detect. Pre-takeoff safety brief should cover this. Possibly used to flying off long, paved runways. Short, water logged grass strip had the odds stacked against him. It’s a terrible feeling when you know you’re running out of runway.

Plus grass adds to your total takeoff distance depending on what it says in the AFM.

I know that for larger aircraft that gave two or more engines, there is a speed called V1, meaning that you must either have made a “go” decision for the takeoff or already taking action to abort the takeoff. I think it’s different for the small lightweight aircraft that have only one engine. There must be a point to where once you meet certain criteria in terms of speed and distance, you must continue with the takeoff.

Part of flight planning is comprehensively studying the runway chart for elevation changes before takeoff. We've got a 10000 foot runway and it's got a few up and downs along the way. When it's very wet it affects the aircraft's takeoff and landing rollout. Yes, it's grooved, but that doesn't do much when we have relatively high volumes of rain coming down per second. The fastest jets can have the most aggravating time trying to smoothly decelerate.

Soft field takeoff's usually require the use of flaps plus MINIMAL nose pressure, unless the POH states differently. When doing a soft field takeoff you lift off at rotation speed and hold ground effect until you can build up speed to hold Vy. If its s short soft field you use the Vx climb out speed and hold until clear of obstacle and decrease flaps incrementally holding a positive rate. I did not see any of this from this pilot, also looked like no pre-takeoff briefing, and the pilot should have calculated their takeoff performance prior to the flight.

For every flight, pilots are supposed to determine the available and required runway distances for takeoff and landing Some factors that increase the runway distance an airplane requires for takeoff include grass runways that are wet, upward slopes, increased ambient air temperature, and low atmospheric pressure, and, of course, pilot technique, just to name a few Pilots are trained to calculate the required distance for takeoff from the airplane's operating handbook and compare this distance with the length of the runway chosen. If the runway is too short for the airplane to takeoff, then a different runway should be chosen, or the flight canceled altogether This scenario typically happens when pilots fail to accurately calculate required distances, or when they don't calculate anything at all and just try to "eyeball" it... which isn't a very safe operating practice in aviation in general

All the wet grass at the halfway point onwards just adds drag to the wheels, that plus the drop in the runway means the trees appear much taller, so pulling up over them would not be possible with the reduced speed of the aircraft⚠️ I see 3 issues of safety concerns - 1. Wet grass, turn off the sprinklers when the runway is in use. 2. Tall trees right at the end of the runway, never a great idea, very bad airfield design, cut them down or reduce the height. 3. Pilot error, pre flight checks SHOULD include noticing points 1 and 2 above and checking if you can get enough speed to take off on the reduced amount of airfield.
