## Narrative

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

INCIDENT - N6174T - CESSNA 150 - NEAR PAIRS TN.

AIRCRAFT CRASHED ON TAKE OFF AND ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF A CORN

FIELD, 1500' SOUTH EAST FROM THE DEPARTURE END OF A PRIVATE GRASS RUNWAY.

(NO INJURIES, MINOR DAMAGE, PIC AND OWNER ONBOARD)

DUE TO THE TOPOGRAPHY AND DAMAGE TO THE LEFT GEAR STRUT, THE AIRCRAFT WAS SITUATED LEFT WING DOWN.

DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO LEFT FIXED GEAR, PROPELLER AND MINOR WRINKLING OF THE LEFT WING LEADING EDGE.

ALL CONTROL SURFACES WERE FOUND TO OPERATE NORMALLY AND WERE NOT DAMAGED. THE LEFT WING FUEL TANK WAS

APPROXIMATELY 3/4 FULL AND THE RIGHT TANK EMPTY. PIC AND OWNER INDICATED THEY DEPARTED WITH BOTH TANKS AT 1/2 FULL.

FOR THE INCIDENT TAKEOFF, THE PIC WAS GIVING A DEMONSTRATION OF A 3 POINT TAKE-OFF FROM THE GRASS RUNWAY WHEN HE

FAILED TO ACHIEVE ENOUGH AIRSPEED FOR A NORMAL TAKEOFF.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
