Read the full NTSB narrative

SHORTLY AFTER LIFT-OFF, THE AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED A GUST OF WIND AND THE PILOT FAILED TO COMPENSATE ADEQUATELY FOR THE WIND CONDITIONS. THE PILOT EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF AIRCRAFT CONTROL AND DECIDED TO REJECT THE TAKEOFF AND EXECUTE A LANDING. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ON THE SANDY GROUND ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS WAS REDUCED DUE TO THE SANDY CONDITION OF THE SOIL; THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO PREVENT THE AIRCRAFT FROM CONTINUING INTO A DITCH AFTER THE LANDING.
