Accident Narrative
The accident occurred during a takeoff on runway 25. The airplane was subject to a left crosswind as it began its takeoff roll. Shortly after starting the roll, the airplane veered to the left and left the runway surface, entering an area of soft, wet sod. The takeoff roll continued across the sod, and the airplane became airborne briefly. However, soon after lifting off, the left main landing gear collided with a knoll that was obscured by tall grass. The impact caused the conventional gear wheel assembly to bend under, and the airplane came to rest on a mound of dirt.
Meteorological Information
The wind was reported from 200 degrees at 12 knots, with peak gusts reaching 15 knots. This wind direction and velocity produced a left crosswind component relative to runway 25.
