| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The takeoff was from a 1,600-foot long gravel runway in variable crosswind conditions. During the takeoff roll, about one-half way down the runway, the pilot noted a 10 knot decrease in airspeed. He elected to abort the takeoff, but was unable to stop the airplane prior to overrunning the end of the runway. The airplane's nose gear sheared off, and the airplane nosed over.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for the variable crosswind conditions. Factors associated with the accident were the variable crosswinds and the short runway.
