DURING TAKEOFF ON RUNWAY 13R, THE AIRCRAFT SWERVED TO THE LEFT JUST AS IT OBTAINED TAILWHEEL LIFT-OFF SPEED. THE AIRCRAFT THEN STRUCK A DIRT BANK AND WAS DAMAGED. BOTH THE PILOT AND THE AIRCRAFT OPERATOR STATED THAT THE LEFT MAIN TIRE LOST PRESSURE, BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WHY. ACCORDING TO THE 2330 WEATHER REPORT, THE WIND WAS FROM 040 DEG AT 5 KTS.
These match the airframe or engine model. Whether each one applies, and whether it's been complied with, depends on serial numbers, equipment and logbook entries. Applicability must be confirmed by a mechanic against the aircraft's records.
