What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Aircraft was cleared for departure from runway 28R at fcm. Winds just prior to departure were reported to be 220 @ 10 gusting to 19 KTS. Pilot reported that upon advancing the throttle the yoke was pushed forward to lift the tail of the aircraft. As soon as the tail lifted a gust of wind caught the aircraft, pushing the tail to the right. Pilot reported that once he noticed that the aircraft was no longer tracking straight down the runway and he did not feel he had sufficient speed for takeoff, he pulled back fully on the throttle and applied brake pressure. Upon contacting the snow bank just off the edge of the runway, the aircraft nosed over onto it's back.
