| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
According to the student pilot, with the surface wind from 130 degrees at 8 knots, the aircraft yawed left when he brought the nose wheel off the runway surface during rotation for takeoff from runway 17. He brought power to idle and braked when he exited off the runway's left edge, but the grass provided little decelerative effect, and he collided with a ditch. The nose gear strut collapsed, the firewall was buckled, and the left wing spar was bent.
Probable Cause: The failure of the student pilot to maintain directional control during takeoff, resulting in an on ground encounter with an adjacent ditch and a collapsed nose gear strut during the attempt to abort the takeoff.
