Incident Overview
A private pilot holding a 70-hour flight experience was attempting to take off from a private turf airstrip. The pilot's non-pilot husband was also on board. During the takeoff roll, as she advanced the throttle to the half-open position, the airplane veered sharply to the left.
Sequence of Events
The pilot stated that she then pulled the airplane off the runway prematurely, becoming airborne. After liftoff, the airplane banked to the right. The pilot overcorrected with a left bank, which led to an aerodynamic stall. The airplane subsequently pitched down and crashed into an adjacent seaplane pond.
Occupant Actions
Following the crash, both the pilot and her husband exited the airplane without assistance. They swam to shore from the pond. No further information regarding injuries or damage was provided in the source.
