Analysis

The plt reported that she was making a touch and go. She said as she applied full power to takeoff the acft veered to the right. She was unable to realign the acft with the rwy and elected to continue the takeoff and 'pulled the acft off at a speed below takeoff hoping to gain speed in ground effect.' The acft became airborne but settled back to the ground, hit a small hill and nosed over.
