Incident Summary
A takeoff incident occurred involving a single pilot. The first takeoff attempt was aborted after the pilot encountered directional control difficulties attributed to crosswind conditions. A second takeoff was initiated, during which gusty crosswinds lifted the left wing and caused the aircraft to become airborne prematurely.
Sequence of Events
During the second takeoff attempt, a gust of crosswind lifted the left wing, and the aircraft became airborne. The pilot then forced the aircraft back onto the runway. Following this, the pilot lost directional control, and the aircraft veered off the runway first to the left side, then across the runway to the right side.
Aircraft Loading and Wind Conditions
The aircraft was loaded at its aft center of gravity limit. The crosswind was reported to be 50 to 70 degrees off a direct headwind, with gusts exceeding the aircraft's crosswind limitations.
