Accident Overview
During the takeoff roll, the pilot failed to maintain the centerline of the runway. Approximately 300 feet down the runway, the airplane veered off the left side. The pilot then corrected to the right, causing the right wing to rise and the airplane to nose over to the left.
Pilot Report
The pilot stated that there were no mechanical anomalies with the airplane. The loss of directional control was attributed to his own error in maintaining the centerline.
Inspection Findings
A Federal Aviation Administration inspector examined the airplane following the accident. The inspection revealed that flight control continuity was present from the flight controls to the cockpit. Additionally, no mechanical anomalies were found in the brake system.
Conclusion
The event was characterized by a loss of directional control during the takeoff roll, resulting in a runway excursion and subsequent nose-over. The pilot's failure to maintain the centerline was the primary factor reported.
