Analysis
The student plt said that when he departed st. george, UT for Hurricane, which is 21 NM northeast, the wind was from the south at about 5 KTS. He landed to the north at Hurricane. He said he did not notice any wind as he prepared to depart to the south. Upon reaching 52 KIAS, the acft lifted off, however, the airspeed then went to zero according to the pilot and the plt aborted the takeoff. The acft ran off the right side of runway 18, collided with a fence and nosed over. A witness, who was first on the scene stated that the wind was steady out of the north at about 20 KTS at the time of the accident.
