Accident Details
The accident involved an airline transport certificated pilot conducting a local area flight under Title 14, CFR Part 91. The flight was the first since the airplane underwent an extensive rebuild and its annual inspection. According to the pilot, he performed a preflight inspection using the airplane's checklist and had several maintenance items corrected before departure.
During the takeoff roll, as the airplane became airborne, it immediately rolled to the left. The left wing subsequently struck the runway surface. The pilot responded by pulling the engine power to idle, but he was unable to correct the roll. The airplane then pivoted to the left and nosed over.
Postaccident Inspection
Following the accident, an inspection of the airplane was conducted by the pilot, maintenance personnel, and an FAA inspector. The inspection revealed that the aileron control cables had been misrouted, which resulted in the aileron's direction of travel being reversed.
