What happened
During a scheduled maintenance test flight, the pilot initiated a takeoff roll on the runway. Approximately 800 feet from the approach end of the runway, the pilot reported that the aircraft traveled over a large hump in the runway surface, causing the plane to veer to the left and prompting an aborted takeoff.
A passenger on board, tasked with monitoring flight instruments, noted that the aircraft entered a significant dip in the runway at approximately 1,200 feet from the approach end. As the aircraft progressed, it became airborne at a speed near stall speed. During this phase, the left wing made contact with the ground. Following the impact, the aircraft departed the left side of the runway at an angle of approximately 45 degrees. The aircraft traveled roughly 1,000 feet beyond the runway before striking a row of small trees and coming to a final rest. There were no injuries reported following the event.
