Accident report: A82Q0015
On the take-off roll, the pilot used right rudder and brake to counteract the 90 degree crosswind from the left. As the tail came up at about 40 MPH, the aircraft swung 45 degrees to the left. Unable to bring the aircraft back onto the runway heading, he selected flap to the “take off” position and attempted to clear the hard packed snowbank to the side of the runway by pulling back sharply on the control column. The right main wheel and ski struck the snowbank and were torn off; the aircraft came to rest on its belly and right wing tip. |
