- Flight rulesThe regulations the flight operated under: in the US, Part 91 (general aviation), Part 121 (airlines), Part 135 (air taxi and commuter) and others; for flights abroad, the NTSB's coarser commercial or non-commercial code. Glossary
- Part 91: General Aviation
- Phase of flightThe stage of the flight when things started to go wrong: standing, taxi, takeoff, initial climb, en route, maneuvering, approach or landing. Glossary
- Takeoff
- Defining eventThe single coded event the NTSB judges best describes what happened (records from 2008 on). Older records name the first occurrence in the sequence instead. Glossary
- Loss of control on ground
- DamageDestroyed: beyond practical repair. Substantial: damage that affects the structure, performance or handling and normally needs major repair. Minor: less than that. Glossary
- Destroyed

NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that during the takeoff roll, at 50 knots, he felt a quick shake/wiggle and the airplane turned hard left due to a left main landing gear tire failure. The pilot stated that he reduced engine power and applied right rudder pedal control input as much as possible, but the airplane continued to pull left. The airplane exited the left side of the runway and impacted trees. The airplane came to rest on its left side and a postcrash fire ensued that destroyed the airplane. The postcrash fire precluded any examination to determine the cause of the accident.
Probable cause
The loss of directional control during the takeoff roll for undermined reasons that resulted in an impact with trees.

Source notes (4)
- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status, coordinates, cause areas. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
