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 plt stated that he had just completed a touch-&-go ldg and was attempting to take off again. As he added power, the acft began to drift to the left. The acft continued left hitting a ditch along side the rwy and flipping over. The plt stated that the acft had been performing normally prior to the accident and he thinks that as he applied power for takeoff, 'p-factor must have gotten me'.
