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 pilot stated that the aircraft encountered a gust of wind shortly after commencing takeoff roll which moved it directly across the runway. Initially the pilot maintained full power while attempting to regain control of the aircraft however shortly thereafter he reduced power to idle. The aircraft crashed tail first and rolled over in an area off the northwest side and the upwind end of runway 21. The wind reported to the pilot less than one minute before takeoff was 170 degrees at 35 knots. A special weather observation taken five minutes after the accident reported peak wind gusts at 44 knots.
