Incident Overview
A commercial-rated pilot initiated a takeoff using normal power and configuration. During the takeoff roll, as the pilot applied back pressure on the yoke to begin rotation, the aircraft started to drift left of the runway centerline.
Control Inputs and Runway Departure
In response to the left drift, the pilot applied right rudder. While the drift slowed, the correction was insufficient, and the aircraft departed the runway. The pilot maintained full power and added full right rudder and aileron inputs in an attempt to avoid several parked aircraft on the adjacent apron.
Collision and Damage
As the aircraft left the runway, it struck a barbed wire fence. It came to rest upright in a pasture, oriented perpendicular to the runway. The left main landing gear and nose gear collapsed. Substantial damage occurred to the left engine, propeller, and both wings.
Occupant Status
The pilot and one passenger were not injured and egressed the aircraft normally.
