What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Pilot departed runway 33, radar returns show a normal climb. ATC assigned a right turn to 360 but the aircraft made a slight left turn before turning right. The turn continued beyond the assigned heading and continued right with an apparent steepening angle of bank. Radar contact was lost at about 700 feet and 160 knots. The ground scars indicate a right wing low impact (almost 90 degrees of bank). The impact was not survivable.
