Incident Overview
A pilot reported that during the second takeoff from a restricted landing area, the engine hesitated at an altitude of approximately 10 feet above ground level (AGL). In response, the pilot aborted the takeoff and attempted to land on the remaining runway. However, the aircraft touched down in a plowed field, where it nosed over.
Investigation Findings
An investigation into the incident revealed issues related to fuel contamination. The right fuel tank bladder was found to contain wrinkles, and fluid—including water—was trapped between these wrinkles. Additionally, a mixture of water and 100LL fuel was drained from the carburetor.
Aircraft Condition
The aircraft sustained damage from the nose-over in the plowed field. No further details on aircraft type, registration, or extent of damage were provided in the investigation report.
