What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The aircraft was a Cessna 182P modified for short takeoff and landing (stol). The aircraft was operated from the pilot's privately owned grass runway. The pilot stated the wind was a light quartering headwind from the right. The pilot attempted a short field takeoff using stol procedures. After reaching rotation speed, the aircraft veered to the left. The pilot was unable to maintain control of the aircraft. The tail and left wing struck the ground, and the aircraft came to rest on its nose less than 100 feet from the left edge of the runway.
