THE PILOT HAD LANDED ON A DIRT ROAD DURING A CROSS-COUNTRY FLIGHT BECAUSE BOTH HIS PASSENGERS HAD BECOME AIRSICK. DURING THE ENSUING TAKEOFF, THE AIRCRAFT DRIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND THE WING SUSTAINED DAMAGE WHEN IT IMPACTED TERRAIN AND ROCKS. THE PILOT CONTINUED THE TAKEOFF, BUT BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE AND HIS SUSPICION THAT THE RUDDER WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, HE DECIDED TO LAND AGAIN ON A HIGHWAY. DURING THIS LANDING, THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL, AND THE AIRPLANE STRUCK A MILE MARKER AND A DITCH. NO EVIDENCE OF A RUDDER CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION OR OTHER MALFUNCTION WAS FOUND.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL DURING TAKEOFF FROM A DIRT ROAD.
