Accident Overview
A certified flight instructor (CFI) was conducting a training flight with a student pilot, demonstrating a soft field takeoff procedure. The departure was from an airport that was unfamiliar to the CFI, who had not previously conducted training there.
Sequence of Events
During the takeoff roll, the airplane collided with a bump on the runway surface, causing the airplane to veer to the left. The CFI assessed the situation and determined that there was insufficient runway remaining to safely abort the takeoff. The airplane became airborne. Shortly after becoming airborne, the left wing collided with bushes adjacent to the runway. The CFI then decreased engine power, and the airplane rotated further to the left before colliding with terrain.
Aircraft and Flight Information
The aircraft was operated as a training flight under the supervision of the CFI. The CFI was demonstrating the soft field takeoff maneuver as part of the student's instruction. The airport used for the demonstration was not one from which the CFI had previously conducted training.
Investigation Details
The accident investigation focused on the sequence of events during the takeoff. No probable cause was stated in the available source material.
