## Narrative

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

ON JUNE 7, 2013, AT APPROXIMATELY 1630, A CESSNA 140 OWNED BY ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WAS INVOLVED IN A TAKEOFF/CLIMBOUT ACCIDENT DURING A PART 91 FLIGHT.  VFR CONDITIONS PREVAILED.

THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM A GRASS/DIRT RUNWAY IN RURAL GLENBURN NORTH DAKOTA.  DUE TO RECENT HEAVY RAINS, THE RUNWAY WAS VERY SOFT.

DURING AN INTERVIEW, THE PILOT STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS SLOW TO GET UP TO SPEED AND THE TAKEOFF ROLL SEEMED LONGER THAN USUAL.  THE PILOT ALSO STATED THAT ONCE AIRBORNE,  HE APPLIED RIGHT RUDDER TO COMPENSATE FOR THE AIRCRAFT DRIFTING TO THE LEFT AND INCREASED UP ELEVATOR DUE TO WIRES APPROACHING AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY.  SUBSEQUENTLY, FROM WHAT THE PILOT ESTIMATED TO BE 50 FEET IN ALTITUDE, THE LEFT WING DROPPED AND ENTERED A HARD, STEEP LEFT TURN AND IMPACTED THE GROUND.

THE AIRCRAFT WAS DESTROYED AND THE PILOT SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES.   THE PILOT HOLDS A STUDENT PILOT CERTIFICATE.
