Read the full NTSB narrative

DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL, THE CERTIFICATED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR/PILOT-IN-COMMAND (CFI/PIC) TOLD THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR RATED SECOND PILOT, WHO WAS AT THE CONTROLS, TO '...RAISE THE TAIL.' THE CFI/PIC REPORTED THAT AT THAT POINT 'THE AIRPLANE VEERED ABRUPTLY AND SHARPLY TO THE LEFT.' THE CFI/PIC STATED: 'BY THE TIME SHE SECURED THE CONTROLS, THE AIRPLANE WAS OFF THE RUNWAY LEFT SIDE AND IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO REGAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL.' THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED OVER A DITCH, TOUCHED DOWN CROSSING A PARALLEL TAXIWAY AND CAME TO REST IN A BLACKBERRY THICKET. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OR CLAIM OF PREIMPACT MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION. THE CFI/SECOND PILOT REPORTED 2 HOURS OF TOTAL FLIGHT EXPERIENCE IN THE ACCIDENT MAKE AND MODEL AIRPLANE.
