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
Aprx 600 feet of the 2300 foot strip is concrete and the remainder is turf. According to the pilot, he raised the tail prior to running off the concrete. As the takeoff roll continued onto the turf, the acft veered sharply to the right. Full left rudder, locking the left brake and securing the engine failed to restore directional control. The left wing tip struck the ground and the acft came to rest in the wheat field west of the rwy.
