NTSB Factual Report

The student pilot reported that he was practicing touch-and-go takeoffs and landings. The landing was uneventful; however, as the airplane accelerated for takeoff, it veered to the left. Despite his control inputs, the airplane continued to veer to the left and struck a runway sign, substantially damaging the fuselage and empennage. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during takeoff.
