What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During an ases instructional flight airman student lost control of aircraft on takeoff- including directional control due to torque. Aircraft became airborne but stalled at low altitude likely with cross control inputs. Aircraft nosed into water and sustained damage but remained afloat - both occupants were able to exit aircraft uninjured. Warm summer day created higher density altitude which may have contributed. CFI called "abort" but did not ask for controls prior to crash and pilot did not abort takeoff.
