What happened
During a flight intended for sprayer calibration, the pilot initiated takeoff on a runway experiencing a left crosswind of 10 to 15 knots. After the aircraft lifted off the runway, it touched down a short time later.
Following the initial liftoff, the pilot relaxed the right rudder pressure that had been applied to counteract the crosswind. Upon touchdown, the pilot failed to reapply sufficient right rudder pressure in a timely manner. This resulted in the aircraft becoming inverted on the runway.
The owner/operator noted fresh tire skid marks and propeller strike marks on the runway leading to the final position of the aircraft. The pilot stated he did not recall applying any brakes during either the takeoff or the landing sequence.
