Incident Overview
A certified flight instructor (CFI) was providing instruction to a non-current pilot in soft field takeoff procedures. The flight departed from runway 14, which was the downwind runway. The CFI selected runway 14 because runway 32 was upslope and the trees adjacent to the runway offered protection from the wind.
Sequence of Events
After takeoff, as the airplane climbed above the trees on both sides of the runway, the CFI reported encountering wind shear. He stated that he could not fly out of the wind shear, and the airplane entered a left bank and began to descend. The CFI made the decision to land straight ahead in a field.
Landing and Outcome
The airplane touched down in soft sand. During the landing roll, the airplane nosed over. The reported wind conditions at the time of the accident were from 300 degrees at 20 knots, with gusts to 27 knots.
Investigation Notes
The investigation did not specify the aircraft type, registration, operator, date, or location. No injuries or damage items were reported beyond the nose-over.
