What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On 14JUN2019, at approximately 1200HRS, N696SH, a conventional landing gear aircraft, attempted to take off from runway 4, at Culpeper Regional Airport (kcjr). During the initial take-off roll, the aircraft veered to the right, and headed towards the grass field adjacent to the runway. At some point after the aircraft veered to the right, the l/h main landing gear collapsed and folded under the wing, causing the left hand wing and associated aileron to contact the ground; the aircraft continued its movement towards the grass field, departed the runway and entered into the grass field. The propeller made contact with the ground while in the grass field.
Winds at the time, were blowing out of the west/northwest at 10-12MPH, gusting to 18MPH. N696SH was heading southeast (220) on take-off.
