JUST AFTER LIFT OFF THE AIRPLANE'S WINGS ROCKED LEFT AND RIGHT SEVERAL TIMES. THE PILOT ABORTED THE TAKEOFF AND THE AIRPLANE LANDED HARD ON AN APPROXIMATE 30 DEGREE HEADING FROM THAT OF THE RUNWAY, THEN SKIDDED OFF THE RUNWAY. A WITNESS BY THE RUNWAY STATED THAT THE PILOT APPEARED TO BE HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING THE AIRPLANE ALIGNED WITH THE RUNWAY BOTH ON THE GROUND AND IN THE AIR.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S IMPROPER FLARE FOLLOWING AN ABORTED TAKEOFF, WHICH RESULTED IN A HARD LANDING AND THE SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE. CONTRIBUTING TO THE ACCIDENT WAS THE PILOT'S LACK OF TOTAL EXPERIENCE IN THE TYPE OF OPERATION.
