Aircraft involved

Probable cause & findings

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during an aborted takeoff. Factors include a tailwind gust, and a large rock near the side of the runway.

Factual narrative

During the takeoff roll, the aircraft unexpectedly encountered a tailwind gust. This resulted in the aircraft veering toward the side of the runway, so the pilot aborted the takeoff. During the abort sequence, the pilot was unable to maintain directional control, and the aircraft departed the side of the runway and impacted a nearby large rock.
