## Preliminary report

On June 28, 2025, about 1420 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 150F, N6744F, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at Tracy Municipal Airport (TCY), Tracy, California. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The pilot reported that she was enroute from Palo Alto, California to Rancho Murieta, California, and had landed at TCY to refuel. After completing a preflight, with no anomalies or concerns noted regarding the flight controls, the pilot decided to perform a soft field take-off for departure on runway 30. As the airplane lifted off the runway the pilot pitched the nose down to increase airspeed. The airplane drifted left, descended and impacted terrain adjacent to a taxiway. Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that the right wing and engine mounts were substantially damaged.
