Human Factors
Demonstration of soft field takeoff. Excessive nose high and light crosswind resulted in loss of directional control causing aircraft to drift to left side of runway on lift off striking runway light and taking corrective action lowering wing cause left wing tip to contact grass and rebound right wing tip to pavement correcting back onto runway. Keep less back pressure on yoke.
Pilot exercised soft field takeoff. While adding full power with nose high pitch attitude; pilot was unable to maintain directional control of aircraft. As aircraft exited left side of runway; as it was redirected to the right the left wingtip contacted the grass. The aircraft swerved to the right; the right wingtip scraped the runway; the aircraft exited the right side of the runway and came to a stop. The aircraft contacted a runway light; denting the antennae and scraped the underside of the horizontal stabilizer.
A C182 flight instructor and trainee reported a loss of control and runway excursion during a soft field takeoff due to excessive elevator input.
