## Narrative

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

(-23)^PRIVACY D^ ATTEMPTED TO TAKEOFF TO THE SOUTH ON A GRASS RUNWAY. THE CONDITIONS AT THE TIME ARE ESTIMATED: CLEAR SKIES, TEMP; 80, WINDS; 070/05, ALTIMETER; 30:00.  THE GRASS RUNWAY WAS WET WITH DREW AND APPROX. 6 INCHES IN LENGTH.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS FORCED INTO THE AIR BY THE PILOT.  THIS ACTION ALLOWED THE AIRCRAFT TO BECOME AIRBORNE WITHOUT SUFFICIENT AIRSPEED.  THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A CORN FIELD THAT WAS APPROX. 8 FEET TALL.  THE AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER AND IMPACTED THE BEAN FIELD WHICH SEVERED THE NOSE GEAR AND SPUN THE AIRCRAFT AROUND 180 DEGREES COMING TO REST ABOUT 150 FEET FROM THE INITIAL IMPACT WITH THE CORN.  THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT  WING LEADING EDGE, TAIL CONE, TRANSPONDER ANTENNA, LOWER NOSE COWLING, EXHAUST SYSTEM AND THE PROPELLER. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
