## Narrative

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

(-23) AT APPROXIMATELY 1900 HOURS PST ON JULY 6, 2003 PILOT ROBERT SCHWARZLER, WITH ONE PASSENGER ON BOARD, CRASHED WHILE ATTEMPTING A TAKEOFF FROM A PRIVATE AIRFIELD NEAR ALSEA, OR. SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF AND BECOMING AIRBORNE, THE PILOT DECIDED TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF. HE LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT AND CRASHED. THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE TAIL SECTION, PROP, TOP OF THE FUSELAE, AND GEAR WHEN IT WENT THROUGH A FENCE. AFTER RECEIVING A CALL FROM A NEIGHBOR, DEPUTY SHERIFF KURT VANMETER ARRIVED ON THE SCENE. MR. ROBERT SCHWARZLER REFUSED TO ALLOW THE DEPUTY ON HIS PROPERTY AND ADVISED IF THE FAA OR THE NTSB CAME TO HIS PROPERTY THEY WOULD BE REFUSED ACCESS AS WILL. WHILE THE OFFICER WAS OBSERVING MR. SCHWARZLER, HE DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS REASON TO BELIEVE THAT MR. SCHWARZLER MAY BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL. THE OFFICER REQUESTED THAT MR. SCHWARZLER CONSENT TO A BREATH TEST FOR ALCOHOL. THE REQUEST WAS REFUSED.
