## Narrative

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

ON JUNE 4, 2022, AT 0930 MDT, A GLOBE GC-1B SWIFT, SINGLE ENGINE AIRPLANE, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, WAS ON A LOCAL FLIGHT FROM A ROAD NEAR ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, EL PASO, TEXAS TO EL PASO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, EL PASO, TEXAS UNDER VISUAL FLIGHT RULES.  WHEN THE PIC ATTEMPTED TO TAKE OFF ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET THE AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED A GUST OF WIND, WHICH CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO LOSE CONTROL AND STRUCK A BLOCK WALL AND FENCE.  NO FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED AND THE CANADIAN PRIVATE PILOT SUSTAINED SERIOUS INJURIES. THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED AT EL PASO, TEXAS, ON JUNE 4, 2022, AT 0930 MDT.

IN THE INVESTIGATING INSPECTOR?S OPINION, THE PRIVATE PILOT FAILED TO CONDUCT ADEQUATE PLANNING WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO THE ACCIDENT.  HIS AERONAUTICAL DECISION-MAKING FAILED TO MITIGATE THE HAZARD THAT WAS ENCOUNTERED WITH MAKING AN OFF AIRPORT TAKEOFF WITH A QUARTERLY TAILWIND.

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

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.
