## Narrative

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

DURING TAKEOFF ROLL PILOT SAID HE HEARD SOMETHING "POP" AND THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO PULL LEFT.  THE AIRCRAFT LEFT THE RUNWAY AND TRAVELED ABOUT 450 FEET AND ENDED UP UPSIDE DOWN. THE PILOT RECEIVED BRUISES AND WAS HOSPITALIZED OVERNIGHT.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

Probable cause: The pilot's improper decision to attempt a takeoff with a tailwind and his failure to achieve the proper airspeed for liftoff, which resulted in the airplane exceeding its critical angle of attack…
