The report presents the Board's investigation of an aircraft crash involving a Beechcraft A100, N700SP, owned and operated by Stribling-Puckett, Inc. The aircraft crashed after a night, visual meteorological conditions takeoff from the Hilton Head Island Airport. Five passengers and the pilot were killed and three passengers were injured. The aircraft was destroyed. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the accident was the failure of the pilot to maintain a positive rate of climb after a takeoff toward an unlighted area in night, visual meteorological conditions. The failure to maintain a positive rate of climb resulted in a collision with trees in the departure path. An overweight condition of the aircraft may have contributed to the pilot's actions.
