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 acft went off the runway during takeoff. The pilot said the acft drifted to the left after the tailwheel was raised. He said he brought the acft back to the centerline but it drifted left again and entered tall grass beside the runway. As the pilot attempted to regain the runway the left main and tail gear contacted rough terrain and broke.
