Narrative:

Usually the fuel on the aircraft is only used out of the right tank for weight and balance purposes and the left tank is kept at 10 gallons as a reserve only. I checked both fuel tanks during preflight and noticed that the line guys had fueled my left tank to 26 gallons. So I entered the extra weight in my weight and balance sheet and found that I was at the very top and aft of my center of gravity envelope. This is; however; not uncommon for the operation and I felt I was legal to take off. ASOS was reporting density altitude of 7400 ft. I waited for all the other tour planes with my company to take off just to see how their aircraft performed. Incidentally; I was flying 1 of the only 2 normally aspirated C207's. All the other aircraft were turbocharged. I rolled out onto runway and advanced the throttle with my feet on the brakes. When my airplane was making good power; I released the brakes and started my ground roll. It took me about 3500 ft to reach my rotation speed; at which time I gently pulled back and got about 15 ft in altitude. I held the airplane in ground effect to build up my airspeed. Usually; as soon as I can get about 10 more KTS in airspeed; then the altitude will follow. However; on this day the airplane was still sinking and I was not getting any more airspeed. I pulled the power with about 1000 ft of runway left and got on the tires immediately. I would have run off the end of the runway; but I pressed hard on the left tire and skidded the airplane into a sideways profile. The tires went flat and the airplane did a 180 degree turn and came to rest on the departure end of runway where I took out 2 runway lights with the elevator. I feel this incident was caused by the equipment I was flying coupled with the 100 degree heat and density altitude of 7400 ft. I will never take off in circumstances like that again with 6 passenger. I had already bumped a few passenger a few days ago and got a talking to because of lost revenue for the company. I should have put my foot down once again when I was given 6 passenger.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: UNABLE TO CLIMB AFTER LIFT OFF; PLT OF C207 ATTEMPTS TO LAND ON REMAINING RWY AND FLATTENS TIRES WHILE SLIDING SIDEWAYS TO AVOID RUNNING OFF END OF RWY. HIGH GROSS WEIGHT; HIGH DENSITY ALTITUDE AND LACK OF TURBOCHARGING CONTRIBUTE.

Narrative: USUALLY THE FUEL ON THE ACFT IS ONLY USED OUT OF THE R TANK FOR WT AND BAL PURPOSES AND THE L TANK IS KEPT AT 10 GALLONS AS A RESERVE ONLY. I CHKED BOTH FUEL TANKS DURING PREFLT AND NOTICED THAT THE LINE GUYS HAD FUELED MY L TANK TO 26 GALLONS. SO I ENTERED THE EXTRA WT IN MY WT AND BAL SHEET AND FOUND THAT I WAS AT THE VERY TOP AND AFT OF MY CTR OF GRAVITY ENVELOPE. THIS IS; HOWEVER; NOT UNCOMMON FOR THE OP AND I FELT I WAS LEGAL TO TAKE OFF. ASOS WAS RPTING DENSITY ALT OF 7400 FT. I WAITED FOR ALL THE OTHER TOUR PLANES WITH MY COMPANY TO TAKE OFF JUST TO SEE HOW THEIR ACFT PERFORMED. INCIDENTALLY; I WAS FLYING 1 OF THE ONLY 2 NORMALLY ASPIRATED C207'S. ALL THE OTHER ACFT WERE TURBOCHARGED. I ROLLED OUT ONTO RWY AND ADVANCED THE THROTTLE WITH MY FEET ON THE BRAKES. WHEN MY AIRPLANE WAS MAKING GOOD PWR; I RELEASED THE BRAKES AND STARTED MY GND ROLL. IT TOOK ME ABOUT 3500 FT TO REACH MY ROTATION SPD; AT WHICH TIME I GENTLY PULLED BACK AND GOT ABOUT 15 FT IN ALT. I HELD THE AIRPLANE IN GND EFFECT TO BUILD UP MY AIRSPD. USUALLY; AS SOON AS I CAN GET ABOUT 10 MORE KTS IN AIRSPD; THEN THE ALT WILL FOLLOW. HOWEVER; ON THIS DAY THE AIRPLANE WAS STILL SINKING AND I WAS NOT GETTING ANY MORE AIRSPD. I PULLED THE PWR WITH ABOUT 1000 FT OF RWY LEFT AND GOT ON THE TIRES IMMEDIATELY. I WOULD HAVE RUN OFF THE END OF THE RWY; BUT I PRESSED HARD ON THE L TIRE AND SKIDDED THE AIRPLANE INTO A SIDEWAYS PROFILE. THE TIRES WENT FLAT AND THE AIRPLANE DID A 180 DEG TURN AND CAME TO REST ON THE DEP END OF RWY WHERE I TOOK OUT 2 RWY LIGHTS WITH THE ELEVATOR. I FEEL THIS INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY THE EQUIP I WAS FLYING COUPLED WITH THE 100 DEG HEAT AND DENSITY ALT OF 7400 FT. I WILL NEVER TAKE OFF IN CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE THAT AGAIN WITH 6 PAX. I HAD ALREADY BUMPED A FEW PAX A FEW DAYS AGO AND GOT A TALKING TO BECAUSE OF LOST REVENUE FOR THE COMPANY. I SHOULD HAVE PUT MY FOOT DOWN ONCE AGAIN WHEN I WAS GIVEN 6 PAX.

Unable to climb after lift off; pilot of C207 attempts to land on remaining runway and flattens tires while sliding sideways to avoid running off end of runway. High gross weight; high density altitude and lack of turbocharging contribute.
