## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT WAS ON IT'S TAKEOFF ROLL. THE PILOT FLYING STARTED TO HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND TRIED TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM BY AN IMMEDIATE LIFTOFF. THIS PUT THE AIRCRAFT IN THE AIR WITH INSUFFICIENT AIRSPEED FOR CONTROLLED FLIGHT. THE INSTRUCTOR TOOK OVER CONTROL AFTER THE UNEXPECTED LIFTOFF. HE HAD NOTICED THAT THE AIRCRAFT HAD LOST ENGINE POWER AND WAS NOT EXPECTING THE PILOT FLYING TO ROTATE THE AIRCRAFT. HE MAINTAINED CONTROL AS WELL AS HE COULD, ATTEMPTING TO KEEP THE AIRCRAFT FROM STALLING UNTIL IT COULD BE SET DOWN ON THE GRASS ADJACENT TO THE RUNWAY. HE DID NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT SPARE LIFT TO MAKE A TURN TO AVOID HITTING A PIECE OF CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY WORKING NEAR THE RUNWAY AND THEN A PILE OF DIRT BEHIND IT. THE AIRCRAFT FLIPPED OVER WHEN IT HIT THE DIRT PILE AND WOUND UP RESTING INVERTED ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE PILE.
