What happened
During the takeoff roll, the aircraft began to skid toward the right side of the runway. The student pilot reported maintaining full left aileron input while providing no right rudder correction as the airspeed increased. Despite these control inputs, the skid to the right continued.
The pilot then attempted to abort the takeoff by reducing engine power and applying left rudder. This action caused the aircraft to veer sharply to the left, resulting in a collision with the Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) installation located off the left side of Runway 17.
The investigation
The examination focused on the control inputs and the sequence of events leading to the runway excursion. The primary finding was the aircraft's interaction with the VASI structure after the aborted takeoff attempt.
