Incident Overview
A pilot provided a report describing an accident that occurred during the takeoff roll. According to the pilot's account, the airplane lifted off the airstrip briefly in a bounce, at which point the left wing suddenly rose. A wind gust then pushed the airplane's nose approximately 30 degrees to the right. Subsequently, the right wing contacted a dirt mound, causing the airplane to slide sideways. The aircraft then drifted off the airstrip to the right and impacted terrain in a ravine.
Damage and Mechanical Status
The accident resulted in substantial damage to the right wing and the fuselage. The pilot stated that there were no pre-impact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation. No other information regarding the aircraft type, registration, date, operator, location, occupants, injuries, or time of day was provided in the report.
Sequence of Events
The pilot described the sequence as follows: during the takeoff roll, the airplane bounced off the airstrip. Immediately after the bounce, the left wing rose suddenly. A gust of wind then forced the nose to the right by 30 degrees. The right wing struck a dirt mound, which initiated a sideways slide. The airplane continued moving to the right, departing the airstrip, and eventually impacted terrain in a ravine. The event concluded with the aircraft coming to rest in the ravine, having sustained the noted damage.
