What happened
During the takeoff roll on runway 30, the airplane began to drift toward the left side of the paved surface. The pilot reported encountering a light crosswind component from 230 degrees at 13 knots. In response to the drift, the pilot applied right rudder and lowered the left wing to maintain directional control.
Despite these corrections, the aircraft veered back toward the right side of the runway. The nose then pitched down, resulting in a nosed-over attitude. During this sequence, the right wing tip struck the ground surface.
The investigation
The pilot provided a statement regarding the events leading to the incident. He noted the presence of a crosswind and described his control inputs as minimal adjustments to counteract the drift. No mechanical failures or pre-existing conditions were reported in the source text.
Findings
The primary factor in this event was the crosswind during takeoff. The pilot's attempt to correct the left drift resulted in an overcorrection to the right, leading to loss of directional control and ground contact with the right wing tip.
