What happened
During the takeoff roll on a 2,000-foot long wet grass runway, the aircraft veered to the left. The aircraft subsequently went through a barbed wire fence and struck a dirt mound. The sequence ended with the airplane coming to rest 150 feet beyond the mound on its nose.
At the time of departure, the pilot reported that a light frost covered the airplane. However, the pilot chose not to perform de-icing procedures because he was in a hurry. The runway conditions included wet grass estimated to be approximately 9 inches long.
Findings
The pilot informed an FAA inspector that the accident was his fault and could have been prevented if he had de-iced the aircraft thoroughly. The pilot also stated that there were no mechanical deficiencies with the airplane prior to the event. The pilot was not injured.
