Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot reported that as he was lifting the nose wheel during takeoff when the left tire encountered 1 to 2 inches of water and broken pavement. He stated that the plane veered left and he applied full right rudder to recover, then the aircraft went off the right side of the runway. According to the pilot, the plane encountered tall, wet grass and he was unable to obtain flying speed, so he aborted, but the left wing hit a pile of cinder blocks. A witness reported that the aircraft became airborne when the plane hit a dip in the runway and it continued to fly until it crashed.
