## Narrative

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

ON 11/17/2018 A STUDENT PILOT PROCEEDED TO TAKEOFF FROM A 3000' GRASS STRIP RUNWAY. THE STUDENT PILOT DURING TAKEOFF FAILED TO KEEP THE NOSE DOWN UNTIL ENOUGH AIRSPEED WAS ESTABLISHED AND PULLED BACK ON THE YOKE AND THE P FACTOR KICKED IN CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO PUSH LEFT. BY THE TIME THE PILOT RE-GAINED CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT IT WAS TO LATE TO MAKE THE REQUIRED CORRECTIONS DUE TO BEING SO LOW TO THE GROUND AND NOT HAVING ENOUGH AIR SPEED. THE AIRCRAFT STALLED DURING TAKEOFF AND THE  AIRCRAFT IMPACTED THE TREES CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH WINGS AND RUPTURING THE LEFT FUEL TANK BEFORE CONTACTING THE GROUND.
