What happened
Following a successful three-point landing, the pilot initiated power application for an immediate subsequent takeoff attempt. The maneuver was conducted in light crosswind conditions. As the aircraft accelerated down the runway, it became airborne while maintaining a slight right bank.
During the initial climb phase, the pilot was unable to maintain directional control of the aircraft. Consequently, the right wingtip struck the surface of a nearby lake. The impact caused substantial damage to the airframe and forced the aircraft to pivot approximately 180 degrees from its intended heading before coming to a complete rest.
The investigation
Examination of the event revealed that the loss of directional control occurred during the transition from ground roll to flight. The structural damage was concentrated on the right wingtip area due to contact with the water surface. No mechanical failures or pre-existing defects were cited as contributing factors in the narrative provided.
Findings
The primary factor leading to the accident was the pilot's inability to maintain directional control during takeoff. Contributing circumstances included the light crosswind conditions and the decision to attempt a second takeoff immediately following a three-point landing without sufficient airspeed or altitude margin to correct the bank angle.
