## Narrative

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

THE PILOT STATED THAT UPON TOUCHDOWN HE WAS SLIGHTLY OFF ANGLE TO THE RUNWAY CENTERLINE AND STARTED VEERING OFF THE RUNWAY.  HE ENDED UP OVERCORRECTING AND INTO THE GRASS TOWARD A LOW SPOT. FEARING THE AIRCRAFT MIGHT GET STUCK HE MADE THE DECISION TO KEEP THE POWER ON AND TAKEOFF FROM THE GRASS. THE TAKEOFF WAS THEN ABORTED DUE TO TREES IN THE FLIGHT PATH AND AN ATTEMPT TO SLOW THE AIRCRAFT WITH BRAKES RESULTED IN THE AIRCRAFT NOSING OVER ON TO ITS BACK.
