Incident Overview
A pilot performing a practice soft field takeoff on Runway 2L lost control of the airplane shortly after becoming airborne. The airplane veered left, touched down left of the runway, and continued onto a parking ramp, where it collided with five other aircraft.
Details from Pilot
The pilot reported that just after takeoff, the airplane began turning left. He stated that he had applied control inputs to counter an existing right crosswind. Despite attempting to correct the left turn, he lost control of the airplane.
FAA Observations
Wind at the time was reported as 080 degrees at 8 knots. An FAA inspector noted that the pilot had aileron correction applied for the crosswind, but the rudder was in a neutral position.
