Mccall Municipal Airport
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Mccall, Idaho 83638
Thursday, July 28, 2005 11:45 MDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

Prior to departing from runway 16, the local weather reporting facility indicated the wind was 070 degrees at 6 knots. On the takeoff roll the aircraft's tail and left wing lifted from a gust of wind. The pilot attempted corrective action, however, the right wingtip and propeller struck the runway surface, and the right main landing gear collapsed.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind and his failure to maintain directional control. A factor was the crosswind.
