| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that, during the takeoff with a tailwind and just before reaching rotation speed, the tailwheel-equipped airplane suddenly veered left and exited the runway surface. Despite the pilot's corrective inputs, the left wing impacted terrain, and the airplane nosed over in a ravine adjacent to the runway. Postaccident examination of the airplane did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's loss of directional control during takeoff with a tailwind, which resulted in a runway excursion.
