NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On August 14, 2011, about 1430 mountain daylight time, a Cessna P210N, N7825K, impacted the terrain about one-eight mile off the departure end of runway 020 at Burley Municipal Airport, Burley, Idaho. The private pilot and his three passengers received fatal injuries, and the airplane, which was owned and operated by the pilot, sustained substantial damage. The 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal transportation flight, which was in the takeoff sequence at the time of the accident, was departing for Provo Municipal Airport, Provo, Utah. No flight plan had been filed. On the day of the accident, the pilot and his immediate family were brought to the airport by extended family members who they had been visiting.

Because the view of the witnesses was temporarily blocked, it could not be determined if the pilot performed a run-up prior to turning onto the runway.

The airplane was then seen accelerating down the runway and lifting off at a location that was identified by a witness, and later determined to b
Probable cause
The pilot's failure to attain sufficient altitude and maintain aircraft control during a turn shortly after liftoff while operating at maximum gross weight, with a tailwind, and in high density altitude conditions.
