THE INSTRUCTOR APPLIED FULL POWER AND WAS INSTRUCTING THE STUDENT ON HOW TO CORRECT FOR THE CROSSWIND BEFORE DISCOVERING NOT ENOUGH RUNWAY REMAINED FOR TAKEOFF. THE INSTRUCTOR TOOK CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT AND CUT POWER IN AN ATTEMPT TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF. HE TOOK CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT TOO LATE AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT BEFORE IT LEFT THE RUNWAY AND WENT INTO A CORNFIELD.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
