What happened
The pilot initiated a takeoff roll on runway 09 but decided to abort the maneuver shortly after lift-off. During this aborted sequence, the aircraft's main landing gear struck a barbed wire fence. Following the impact, the aircraft came to rest in a nearby field and subsequently nosed over into an adjacent pond.
The investigation
Post-incident analysis revealed that the pilot had employed soft field takeoff procedures during the initial phase of the departure. However, the pilot acknowledged that he failed to apply adequate correction for p-factor immediately after leaving the ground. This lack of sufficient control input contributed to the loss of directional control and the subsequent collision with the fence.
Findings
The primary factor in this incident was the pilot's inability to maintain proper heading during the critical transition from takeoff to climb. The failure to correct for p-factor resulted in the aircraft veering off the intended flight path, leading to ground contact with infrastructure and a hard landing in unprepared terrain.
