| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot taxied out for take off. Run up and pre-takeoff checks were normal. Full power was applied for takeoff and the aircraft accelerated. However, by two thirds to three quarters of the 1000 metre length the aircraft was not airborne. The pilot applied back pressure on the control column and lifted off. The airspeed then decreased so the pilot lowered the nose. The left wing dropped and the aircraft descended, striking the ground nose down and overturning. The pilot had inadvertently taken off in strong gusty downwind conditions.
