Narrative:After touching down on the runway, the certified flight instructor (CFI) advanced the throttle and the airplane began to accelerate normally. At approximately 50 miles per hour, the CFI raised the tailwheel, and the airplane began to swerve to the right. The CFI applied left rudder and aileron to correct the swerve, but despite the corrections, the airplane continued its path toward trees located east of the runway. At that point, the CFI decided to reduce the power, and the airplane struck a tree. The CFI did not report any malfunctions with the airframe or engine during the flight.
Probable Cause: The CFI's failure to maintain directional control, which resulted in a collision with trees.
