Accident Details
A commercial pilot was operating a tailwheel-equipped airplane on a personal flight under Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations Part 91, when the accident occurred. During the takeoff roll from a remote site, the airplane encountered soft terrain. The pilot stated that the accident takeoff was his third attempt to depart the site. During this attempt, he reported that he "ran out of room and retarded the throttle."
Aircraft Damage
The airplane's main landing gear tires sank into the soft terrain, causing the airplane to nose down. This resulted in substantial damage to the right wing assembly. The pilot noted that there were no mechanical anomalies with the airplane during the accident scenario.
Pilot Statement
The pilot, who holds a commercial certificate, provided the account of the events. No further details about the airplane, such as make, model, or registration, were disclosed in the source. The time of day and weather conditions were not specified.
