What happened
During an aerial application flight, an aircraft was engaged in its takeoff roll at a private airstrip. As the aircraft approached rotation speed, it encountered a rut in the runway surface. This impact caused the aircraft to pull sharply to the left.
In an attempt to lift off, the pilot pulled back on the control stick. During this maneuver, the left boom of the aircraft made contact with wheat crops. This contact induced a rotation of one and a half turns counter-clockwise just above the wheat line. The aircraft then traveled approximately 400 feet through the air before impacting the ground, striking the tail section first.
The accident resulted in no injuries to the pilot, but the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
