## Narrative

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

WHILE PERFORMING A SOFT-FIELD TAKEOFF FROM RUNWAY 25 AT KLPR. THE AIRCRAFT WAS BEGINNING  TO LIFT OFF  THE PILOT BEGAN TO LOSE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT TO THE LEFT.  THE CFI TOOK CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT AS IT WENT OFF TO THE LEFT OF THE RUNWAY AND WAS ABLE TO RETURN IT TO A NORMAL CLIMB POSITION OVER THE RUNWAY. BOTH CREWMEMBERS HAD NO INDICATION THAT THE AIRCRAFT HAD STRUCK ANYTHING UNTIL LATER RETURNING THE AIRCRAFT TO THE HANGER. DAMAGE WAS OBSERVED TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE PILOT SIDE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER AS A RESULT OF STRIKING A RUNWAY LIGHT.

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.
