Narrative:

Loss of directional control by pilot resulting in aircraft turning into wind and leaving runway at slow speed for short distance. Pilot in right seat was able to reduce power but had no brakes and couldn't correct directional loss. However, when aircraft left runway it was at very slow speed. No damage. Environmental factor was strong gusting right crosswind. The flight in question was a VFR departure from dekalb-peachtree airport on jan/xx/95. The aircraft was a bonanza V-35. A student pilot with about 90 hours dual and solo privileges was in the left seat. I was in the right seat. I have 100 hours in type a CFI, cfii, mei and 4000 total hours. Takeoff was initiated from runway 2R with 12-14 KT crosswind at 90 degrees. On beginning of the takeoff roll, the left seat pilot lost directional control. This began with an overcorrection to the right, followed by a larger overcorrection to the left. The aircraft turned into the wind and departed the runway left. I was able to reduce power and stop the aircraft within a few ft of the runway. There was no damage to aircraft or runway environment. Subsequent takeoff from runway 34 was without incident.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: TKOF PROC XWIND TKOF ABORTED AFTER LOSS OF ACFT CTL.

Narrative: LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CTL BY PLT RESULTING IN ACFT TURNING INTO WIND AND LEAVING RWY AT SLOW SPD FOR SHORT DISTANCE. PLT IN R SEAT WAS ABLE TO REDUCE PWR BUT HAD NO BRAKES AND COULDN'T CORRECT DIRECTIONAL LOSS. HOWEVER, WHEN ACFT LEFT RWY IT WAS AT VERY SLOW SPD. NO DAMAGE. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTOR WAS STRONG GUSTING R XWIND. THE FLT IN QUESTION WAS A VFR DEP FROM DEKALB-PEACHTREE ARPT ON JAN/XX/95. THE ACFT WAS A BONANZA V-35. A STUDENT PLT WITH ABOUT 90 HRS DUAL AND SOLO PRIVILEGES WAS IN THE L SEAT. I WAS IN THE R SEAT. I HAVE 100 HRS IN TYPE A CFI, CFII, MEI AND 4000 TOTAL HRS. TKOF WAS INITIATED FROM RWY 2R WITH 12-14 KT XWIND AT 90 DEGS. ON BEGINNING OF THE TKOF ROLL, THE L SEAT PLT LOST DIRECTIONAL CTL. THIS BEGAN WITH AN OVERCORRECTION TO THE R, FOLLOWED BY A LARGER OVERCORRECTION TO THE L. THE ACFT TURNED INTO THE WIND AND DEPARTED THE RWY L. I WAS ABLE TO REDUCE PWR AND STOP THE ACFT WITHIN A FEW FT OF THE RWY. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO ACFT OR RWY ENVIRONMENT. SUBSEQUENT TKOF FROM RWY 34 WAS WITHOUT INCIDENT.
