Factual narrative

N2920E WAS TAKING OFF ON A 2,800 FT LONG, TURF RWY. THERE WAS A LT CROSSWIND OF 12 KTS AND THE DENSITY ALT WAS 5,000 FT. THE PLT SAID THE ACFT ENCOUNTERED A DIP IN THE RWY AND SWERVED TO THE LT MOMENTARILY. HE SAID HE REGAINED DIRECTIONAL CONTROL BUT THEN DECIDED TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF BECAUSE HE DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS ENOUGH RWY REMAINING. THE ACFT CONTINUED OFF THE END OF THE RWY, THROUGH A FENCE AND THEN COLLIDED WITH A COW. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
