Incident Details
A flight instructor reported that he directed a student pilot to perform a soft-field takeoff. During the takeoff roll, the instructor maintained his hands on the flight controls while the student pilot released back pressure on the yoke. The airplane began to climb, but the nose was too high. To correct the nose-high attitude, the flight instructor pushed forward on the control stick. Following this input, the airplane started to pull to the right.
The flight instructor stated that he did not know whether the stall warning horn sounded. The airplane flew over the right edge of the runway, descended, and impacted the grass safety area on the right side of the runway. The instructor recalled being on the flight controls at the time of the impact.
Aircraft Damage
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the lower fuselage composite structure.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
