## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT EXPLAINED THAT HE WAS INITIATING A TAKEOFF ON RUNWAY 35 AT SALMON, THE TAIL OF THE AIRCRAFT CAME UP QUICK AND THE AIRCRAFT STARTED HEADING TO THE LEFT. HE COMPENSATED BY USING RIGHT BRAKE. THIS CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO VEER EXCESSIVELY TO THE RIGHT WHERE IT WENT OFF THE RUNWAY INTO THE PARALLEL DRAINAGE DITCH AND FLIPPED OVER, COMING TO REST INVERTED.
