## Narrative

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

THE PILOT INDICATED VERBALY THAT HE WAS ON TAKE OFF ROLL WHEN HE EXPERIENCED A GUST OF WIND ON THE REAR END OF THE AIRCRAFT. THIS CAUSED HIM TO STIKE A TREE WITH HIS LEFT WING. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST IN A WOOD PILE ADJACENT TO THE AIR FIELD.

## 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.
