## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

LOST CONTROL AFTER ABORTING CROSS WIND TAKEOFF. BLOWN OFF RUNWAY. PULLED UP 1000 FEET OF FENCE PRIOR STOPPING.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB CHI95LA113](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI95LA113), Apr 2, 1995: Bellanca 7ECA (N2598Z), Higginsville, MO, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions during the attempted takeoff. The gusty crosswind was a factor.
