Event Details
During a takeoff attempt from a snow-covered runway, the pilot faced challenging conditions. Snow was falling, and the reported wind was from 130 degrees at 16 knots, gusting to 24 knots, creating a right crosswind. The pilot selected the runway, in part, because of its 1.2 percent downslope.
Sequence of Events
The pilot initiated the takeoff and rotated the nose of the airplane at 80 knots. Upon rotation, the airplane unexpectedly "pulled" to the left. The pilot immediately lowered the nose and reduced engine power in an attempt to regain control. However, the airplane continued to slide leftward, departing the runway surface. It then entered an area covered with 6 to 8 inches of snow. The airplane subsequently nosed over and came to rest in an inverted position.
Aftermath
The airplane ended up inverted after the incident. No further information regarding injuries, aircraft damage, or other details has been provided in the source.
