What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot landed the airplane on runway 31 (klns) and came to a full stop. The pilot then began a take off roll, runway 31, adding a little bit of right rudder to compensate for drift in a quartering crosswind. Winds were approximetly 2 miles per hour wsw, 080. Approxiametly 10 KTS short of rotation, the pilot over-corrected for drift with too much right rudder and accidently tapped the right brake. The airplane turned sharply to the right, leaving the runway and entering the grass and over a small berm. The airplane was airborne for a very short time as a result of going over the berm. The pilot estimated the airplane was only a few feet off the ground. The airplane contacted the ground in a nose down, angled to the left, attitude damaging the nose and left hand landing gear.
