## Narrative

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

(-23) THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AND A STUDENT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ MADE AN INTERSECTION TAKE OFF FROM INTERSECTION DELTA, RUNWAY 21, OGDEN AIRPORT. TAKING OFF FROM RUNWAY 21 IS AN UPHILL TAKE OFF. AT 70 KTS THE STUDENT RAISED THE NOSE AND THE AIRCRAFT JUMPED OFF THE RUNWAY, DRIFTED TO THE LEFT AND THEN MADE A SLIGHT HOP ON THE MAIN GEAR AND THEN BACK INTO THE AIR. AT THIS TIME THERE WAS A POSITIVE EXCHANGE OF THE FLIGHT CONTROLS FROM THE STUDENT TO THE INSTRUCTOR. HE HELD THE AIRCRAFT LEVEL IN GROUND EFFECT FOR SEVERAL SECONDS TO GET IT TO ACCELERATE. THE INSTRUCTOR INITIATED A GRADUAL CLIMB. ONCE THE FIRST OBSTACLES WERE CLEARED, THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO SETTLE. THE INSTRUCTOR INITIATED A MINIMUM TURN TO THE RIGHT, IN AN ATTEMPT TO REACH LOWER TERRAIN; THE TERRAIN STRAIGHT AHEAD WAS RISING. THE INSTRUCTOR WAS WARY, AWARE THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS VERY CLOSE TO A STALL. THE TOWER CALLED TO ASK IF WE WERE OK, AND THE INSTRUCTOR RESPONDED THAT WE WERE STRUGGLING. THE INSTRUCTOR SAW A TREE AHEAD AND SLIGHTLY RAISED THE NOSE IN AN ATTEMPT TO CLEAR THE TREE. THE AIRPLANE DID NOT RESPOND AND HIT SOME OF THE TOP LIMBS OF THE TREE, THEN THE INSTRUCTOR HEARD A LOUD BANG. THI  S IS WHERE THE AIRCRAFT'S RIGHT WING WAS SHEARED OFF WHEN IT HIT A POWER POLE. THE AIRCRAFT WENT INVERTED AND SMASHED INTO THE ROOF OF A HOUSE.
